So, Soviet Union falls apart leaving smaller countries in its place. Georgia, one of these countries, becomes a democracy and the US says we will be there with them. Russia invades Georgia and the US president goes on vacation.

Rice helps the Georgian pres to write up a cease fire.

The US and Poland finally agree to put a US anti missile defense system in Poland to protect Europe and the US from "rogue" missiles.

Russia sees this as a direct threat to them and that the system is aimed at Russia. So a Russian Gen is quoted as saying this increases the likelihood of an attack on Poland by 100%. He also reminded the world that Russia sees it as perfectly fine to us nukes against countries that also have nukes (the US) and also against any nation that helps a nation that has nukes (Poland).

I find this all very interesting, and troubling. While it is very likely that nothing will come of this other than some angry politicians, I just wanted to know your thoughts on the whole thing.

Also I heard and read all this from too many sources to quote or source so if any of this is inaccurate please forgive and correct me.

Man, the Russians can't do sh*t. They seriously don't want to f*ck around with nukes. We'll drop a f*cking mother load on them.

Well I don't know it will get pretty warm for a while, though then we can all bask in the nuclear winter.

I believe the Russians know better than to start a nuclear war, but the question is how many times will people bluff before someone is finally crazy enough to do it.

So I'm not too worried about a nuclear war, but I'm not sure I trust Bush to solve something diplomatically, we all know how well Iraq and Afghanistan (the country we gave the guns they're using against us) went. What really surprised me is that someone other than the US is bombing people with planes, I mean that's our job. Well at least we're still the only country who can bombard countries with cruisers anymore.

Que fabled "end of world" flash animation:

But in all seriousness, this does impart fear. More so I guess because there's not a damn thing that we can do about it. We'll just have to hope that the people who CAN control the happenings here aren't complete and utter idiots and decide not to kill an uncountable number of human lives.

This to me is a good example of the absurdity that we call, "life".

1. People die everyday.
2. Lots of people die everyday.
3. Lots of people don't care that lots of people die everyday.
4. Lots of people think the news is about what is 'new'.

[spoiler]Look for the "Smoking Kills" animation. It's better. =3[/spoiler]

Wait, what? You're asking politicians to have good sense?
Next thing you'll be asking Ix to marry a black woman.
Jeez.

@lantis - yeah ithought that but was too lazy to link it ;_; what would i do without you?
also i was mostly referring to futurama (which i've been watching recently) in which global warming happened but was cancelled out by nuclear war ..XD
either way we're all going to die. ^_^
but i'll bet things living on the bottom of the ocean won't even notice. it's so slow down there. <3<3

incidentally, did you ever think about the word 'news'? .. it's like ... a plural adjective.. wtf eh?
