1. Russia is sure helping a lot of other countries

beef up their militaries lately. You would think they were up to something? Like preparing to defend themselves against BushCo.

9. Condi's diplomacy in Russia is really, really paying off BIG TIME

2. These Are Anti-Ship Missiles Fired From the Torpedo Tube

Isn't it just wonderful to see the entire world beefing up their militaries? That will probably make World War III a lot less booooring.

4. I think the plan here is to keep their shipping lanes for oil open?

By force if necessary.

mooshie is holding on by a slippery thread.


who would have ever thought that a us administration would be so crazy and belligerant that it would bring together the entire world? russia and china making deals, china making deals with venezuela, russia making deals with iran, india and russia cuddling up.

what a retarded disaster.

6. Pakistan and Iran will be holding naval maneuvers soon,

as reported here on DU. We should be concerned and the Indians must be as well. Also, India and China have had problems in the past, and if China has subs, then India may want them, too.

8. If Pakistan falls to extremists

that's a serious threat to India. So if an when the terrorists try to attack, India wants to be prepared to defend herself. India doesn't want to "go after" Pakistan.

7. These are the ingredients for another world war.

Devastation, destruction, death, disease and murder on a scale inconceivable.

How foolish of me to think they wouldn't do it again.
