All this Cold War-esque stuff going on with them lately, if anyone's been following the news. First, they talk about aiming missiles at various points in Europe due to plans of a U.S. missile site there, next they plant a Russian flag underneath the North Pole, now this.
linky  I THOUGHT THE COLD WAR WAS OVER!!! |

Not to mention the military excercises with China yesterday. Who knows, they've been stabbing us in the back for years, I guess they just want to push the point home that they don't really dig this whole "ally" thing. |

If the Russian Bomber Fleet is anything like the Sub Fleet. I'dbe more worried about having the whole Aircraft fall on me than the bombs.

Russia's been looking for a way to consolidate its power in the world for years. They may have found it with the formerly ice laden North Pole melting and thus exposing POTENTIALLY 25% of the world's unknown crude oil supply. This could be a major move for them.
Quite frankly, I don't have a problem with it. The United States has been doing this kind of stuff for years, except on already claimed territory.  Edit: And this isn't just conquer land and claim it, a la the imperial days. (which is know internationally illegal). They have actually sent in ground samples from both their country and their prospected annexation to prove that this land is theirs to claim. They're going about this the right way. And well, if the samples come back negative for a match, I just don't know what will happen after that. Edited by obnoxious - 17 August 2007 at 1:51pm |

hey canada isn't just ignoring the north pole, we are just as attached to the place as them, we even put a military base there to "give a message". though, as us canadians do we will give up with some kinda "agreement" which will be in russias favor. |

i hope thats wrong. last thing i want to see is Russia in control of the north pole area. next it will be antarctica. america could also have a claim to the pole since we have alaska so damn close to it. but if its anyones, greenland and canada have more of a right to it. and with the ice melting, huge shipping lanes will open that will benefit canada greatly. |

Yep, but its an oil driven world, and we're running out of it. Looks like we're not trying to ween into alternative energy or conserve oil until its too late. |

Ugh, Putin is solidifying power. It's gotten pretty scary, I mean, come on, they outlawed opposition parties.

I think the word you're looking for is dying-and no, it's human survival. |

Putin is a very dangerous man. I think he has also seen the US lost its spine, and is now a push over.

i told you guys almost 4 years ago, Putin's are are turning Red, this does not surprise me one little bit, I'm surprised this wasn't going on sooner.
Don't worry, it'll be another 10 years before we see the hammer & Sickle again. |

That actually happened throughout the summer, but regardless its still pretty stupid. Not too long ago they were doing flights along the US east coast, then down to Cuba to refuel. That stopped when the US started intercepting them and turning them away from Cuba causing them to have fuel exhaustion and crash in the Atlantic.
I don't see the point in showing off their POS Bears though. They may have been comparable to the B-52, but they've got nothing on the B-2 except maybe useful load.
