I guess it was Yeltsin not Gorbachev that failed to launch in 1995

****************

I would say that no matter which way the treaty
goes, neither the americans(especially) or the
russians(would not blame them), will divulge all
the warheads and missiles they possess. Secret
stashes are a part of the game.

P Henry, great observation. Probably her sexual
diplomacy she uses for those crazy enough to
‘dip their stick’. Hate to think what she would
birth if she got pregnant.

Our nukes are on hair trigger alert still.
Thirty minutes launch till impact.

We launched some weather missile off Norway in 1995.
We say we told the Russians.
They didn’t get the message
Russian military brought nuclear suitcase to Gorbachev and opened it saying they were under attack.
(a first strike would be a single nuke for EMP effect).
We were lucky he didn’t do his job.

The repugs want a nuke war so Jesus can come back.
Someone needs to call them on it.

I’m not even going to ask how you figure that, GRYM.

The Russians aren’t the Dim-ocrats.  They don’t roll over and piss themselves when Re-Thuglicans say “Boo!” They will let the treaty fail if it is not ratified as negotiated.  Unlike Dims, the Russians know how to win at the game of brinkmanship.

But the Re-thugs have been whuppin’ on the Dims for so long they don’t have a CLUE what it’s like to play against someone as tough or tougher, as mean or meaner, as greedy or greedier, as cruel or cruel, or as careless of consequences.

And, as soon as it fails, they will start selling technology to Iran, and to other “irritations”. They may even shut down the oil and gas pipelines again!

Re-thugs, you are in the Big Leagues now.  Can you pitch and not get it hit out of the park?

The U.S. Congress can change the wording in the START preamble concerning missile defense, renegotiate that wording with the Russians, and have a signed treaty by March 2011.

Hillary looks like she just got laid.
