Russian Bombers In Cuba
Yikes! Here we have again demonstrated to us that we are stupid for not opening up diplomatic relations with the Cubans. Now we are forced to deal with another Cuban-Russian mixup that could have disastrous consequences for all of us. The Russians are pissed because the U.S. has some bozo dream plan for building a missile shield for western Europe. Russia sees the shield as a threat and is responding to it by renewing their long range nuclear bomber runs over the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. These practice runs make the Pentagon nervous even though Russia has no intention of reviving the era of MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction). Russia is no longer a military superpower but they are still a formidable force and they are still a nuclear power and they want respect, even if they don't deserve it. Bush's plan for a missile shield is bogus and it needs to be scrapped. The Europeans need to kiss and make peace with the Russians and the Russians need to make peace with the Chinese and the Chinese need to make peace with Taiwan. If everyone would just make more of an effort to get along we wouldn't have to spend so much money on defense...
And in the end, all of this drama between nations appears to be designed and created to ensure continuous massive expenditures on defense..and the richer get richer.
