Malcador Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Major power wants to keep it that way, seems reasonable enough. Now, did Putin land that jet ? Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Gorth Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I'm not sure I would rely on sanctions and diplomacy either, when sharing 3500+ Km border with an increasingly expansionistic China. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
Calax Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 If the cold war returns to "status quo" it's not going to be between Russia and the west... it'll be China on one end. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Morgoth Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Proud Russian people sheeple mobilizing support for Tsar Vlad Putin I. Edited February 23, 2012 by Morgoth Rain makes everything better.
Gorgon Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 This kind of thing plays really well with the electorate, portraying Russia with the trappings of a superpower, bullying their neighbours and expecting to get away with it.

Hildegard Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 http://www.washingto...TMPR_story.html ****ing idiot. As if his people need more war, soldiers, and bombs. I can think of a few things that money would be better spent on. Maybe education, healthcare, and infrastructure? ''I can think of a few things that money would be better spent on. Maybe education, healthcare, and infrastructure'' Well you could of ask the same question in the context of US and for that matter any country that spends 50+ billion dollars a year on their defense budget. Attacking Russia for this move by the west is highly hypocritical, especially the US, a country that spends 690 billion dollars a year on their armed forces. And then Russia plans to modernize their military hardware and spend 700+ billion dollars in the next 10 years and for many this is an outrage, but don't worry...I'm sure during that period the US will spend 7000 billion dollars so it can keep shining bright as a beacon of democracy, freedom and all those other propaganda bullsh*t.
Morgoth Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Freedom and democracy are now considered "propaganda bull****?" Oh wow... Rain makes everything better.
Malcador Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Well, when in context of invasions, probably yes. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

Calax Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Thinking about it there does need to be some power in the world that can realistically check America. It can't be china because those in power are to scared of losing the business it provides, and most of european political bodies either don't want to actively antagonize America or are buddy buddy with the two american regimes Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

HoonDing Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Bah. Sorry Mr Putin, but Russia is all but irrelevant today. But, by all means, keep using that Security Council veto and invade some more small Caucasus countries with your 24-year old tanks. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Malcador Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Nothing wrong with old tanks, well if you mean age by design not just the physical age of a vehicle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_main_battle_tanks_by_generation#Third_Generation Lots of oldies on there. Didn't know the Leopard 2 was so old, that's supposed to be the best MBT around, no ? Edited February 23, 2012 by Malcador Why has elegance found so little following?

Gfted1 Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 ^True. The M1 Abrams originally entered service in 1980. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
HoonDing Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Now let's wait and see if I have succesfully summoned obyknven. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
obyknven Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 LOL! Would you expect Putin saying "Russia needs weak military"? Or ANY other President of ANY other nation? Such a stupid article.
Morgoth Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 LOL! Would you expect Putin saying "Russia needs weak military"? Or ANY other President of ANY other nation? Such a stupid article. In a civilizied country, talk about military shouldn't even be on the table when running for president. But I know where you're coming from... Rain makes everything better.
213374U Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Right. Because "civilized" means exclusively sunshine and butterflies, huh? Armed forces are so 4th century BC. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
Maria Caliban Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Thinking about it there does need to be some power in the world that can realistically check America. America is checked by its economic dependency on other countries. If you mean the rise of another military superpower, that would actually lead to the USA trying to exert more control on other countries, not less. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.
Gorgon Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Leopard 2 is the best main battle tank around, a challenger 2 will do in a pinch. The Abrams has limited range and a horrendous heat signature owning to its huge jet engines. They don't even make them anymore, although they still service the current fleet with replacement parts. So that was me tank trolling, how'd you like them apples. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
