Russia-Asia cooperation a nightmare for US hawks
"There's a big difference between the European media coverage and US media such as CNN or the New York Times. The European media coverage is much more accurate as to the sequence of events that Saakashvili and the Georgian military initiated this."

1. No, it's a wet dream for US hawks
They were running out of steam on the 'War on Terra', and Iran just doesn't stack up to be scary enough (Iran has about the same GDP as Alabama) - notice how quick they abandoned the existential struggle against Islamofascism for the preferred struggle against the Reds and/or former Reds.

They're in hog heaven and so are the war industries. Real live enemies, if only we can mishandle this bad enough and try to piss off both the Russians and the Chinese.

2. I myself was thinking along the lines of "Trilateral"
The new world order of the trilateral plan. European Union - American Union - Eurasian Union.

But I agree with your point too.

5. That's a good question
I just looked at my DVD copy of 1984 and it doesn't mention the names of the other. Now I'll have to check it out so I remember too.

;)

7. Now I'm going to have to read the damned thing again and get pissed off and
real scared all over.

Maybe I should just stay like that.

10. Well....In the movie intro
it says "the dark armies of Eurasia". It's been quite awhile since I've watched it, so, I don't remember if it names who the dark armies of Eurasia are.

Now I am gonna have to watch the movie tomorrow too...

LOL...

12. Its pretty scary when you watch it today and look around
As far as movies go. Its very well made, albeit, its certainly doesn't look like a lot of money went into it. Here, I just found a youtube link showing the first 10min's. It'll give you a good idea.

15. Thanks
Looks like a must see.
I watch plenty of public domain b-horror, so the budget won't phase me.

Gotta watch out, "they" are always thinking of ways to getcha. Good to know our rulers will strip our rights to save us.:puke:

3. Accurate assumption
It doesn't have to be a war they can win, just one with job security.
