Beyond Cold War to Mobilization for War Against Russia?

Well, land based nukes are pretty much obsolete weapons. That's why the US has at times debated trashing them all together. But what makes you think the US cannot launch them? You do know, new floppy's can be and are manufactured. Just because the technology is old, it doesn't mean the hardware is old. It just makes it more expensive to maintain. Unlike your beloved Mother Russia, the US does routinely test and maintain all of its military hardware.

 

Hmm...and where is your justification for those assertions? You do realize Wolfowitz has been replaced and has been out of office for more than a decade? You have been repeatedly asked how America uses NGO's to effect this regime change you claim America is pursuing, but you have yet to be able to support that assertion with anything. You haven't even attempted to answer that question, Probably because you can't. You are just making stuff up or mindlessly repeating nonsense from specious sources.

Mother Russia previously tried to compete militarily and economically with the US and it lost. If that is the path Mother Russia decides to go down again, the results will be no different. Mother Russia's aggression against its neighbors is intolerable. And anyone should find it disturbing when you have a national socialist leader like Mother Putina do the same things another national socialist leader did some 70+ years ago, even going so far as to use the same excuses for his aggression towards neighboring states, and resulted in WWII.

 

It seems like they are hoping for a repeat of the Cold War arms buildup strategy that toppled the Soviet Union. What you don't hear about is new pipelines from Russia to China, Japan, not to mention that the Russian economy lacks the Soviet economy's built-in deficiencies. So the whole strategy is going to fail.

 

Wow, a reasonable Russian.

I agree with every single thing you said


Also, its kinda funny that literally everyone has completely ignored this moderate and most likely correct analysis.

 

That technology is more difficult to hack.

 

NATO is serious when it comes to defending Eastern Europe and the Balkans from further Russian imperialistic expansionism through aggressive wars of conquest and ethnic cleansing.

 

The US is the worlds richest nation, Russia is on par with Mexico.

No pretty much the entire world hates Russia with tin pot dictatorships being the soul exceptions, even the Chinese hate the Russian mass murderers.

Ya except they've invaded and continue to occupy the territory of not one but two European countries in the last decade in aggressive wars of conquest and ethnic cleansing. The only thing keeping the Russian war criminal Putin in line is NATO power on the European continent.

That's for a specific reason there's no way to hack these computers they're off the grid. The US has the most advanced military on the planet; whereas, the fascist Russian imperialist pigs don't have the economic or technological base to even begin development on a modern military let alone field or deploy one. In terms of developed nations Russia is on par with Mexico.

 

Incorrect. These are lies used to keep the US's #1 industry humming along.

 

Ya, if Putin wasn't busy invading his neighbors, there probably wouldn't be a NATO build up in Eastern Europe.

 

What's with the 'Mother Russia' then, joepistole? That's a hackneyed phrase from the days of the USSR - living in the past are we? If you put your inferiority complex (or naivety, I'm, not sure which it is) on hold for a while you'll discover that things have changed since then, and hopefully realise that if you (*)(*)(*)(*) with the Bear it'll turn round and bite your nationalistic ass.

 

This is seriously weird! The US has a national debt of - get this, starcitizen, and think about it (if you're capable of thinking which I doubt) - $21trillion I repeat trillion. If you owed your bank a million times more than you could ever hope to accrue, you wouldn't be the richest man in your street, it would mean you'll be bankrupt for ever. What is this little fantasy world that you inhabit.

 

I know you have no idea how an economy works but I'll ask anyway, how much is the USs GDP per year?

 

And talking of 'forum loonies' cue ararmer!

I'm not an economist so I wouldn't know, nor want to. But I do know that indebtedness isn't a good thing whichever way it's dressed up.

 

Calling me a forum loon. Lol. Cute. Coming from the guy who likes to spit on people at soldiers funerals. Desecrating thier graves.

Anyway. You were the one who brought up the USs debt in response to someone claiming that the US is the richest country on the planet. That you don't even have a clue as to what the GDP is shows that you have no (*)(*)(*)(*)ing clue what you are talking about and it would have been best just to keep your ignorant mouth shut.

 

Are you confusing me with someone else? I've never done any of that. Oh and I got my information on Fractional Reserve banking from Zeitgeist; I might not have understood it to the extent I'd have liked, but I understood enough to know that FR banking is an illusory system of producing digital money, but even then the reckoning has to come one day.

 

I live in the US for years and the debt isn't effecting me. 2008 was bad, but didn't ruin my life, if anything changed much.

 

Nope. You. And I didn't say the number you gave for the debt wasn't correct. That you don't understand how the rest of the (*)(*)(*)(*) works isn't my problem.

 

That's because they keep generating dollars by using FR to pay for big government and remain 'solvent' (note the meaningful inverted commas?). You might find that it'll 'ruin your life' when the macroeconomic (*)(*)(*)(*) hits the fan though.

 

Well since I didn't say any of that stuff, I'll just presume you forgot to apologise.

 

Nope..

 

Mainly because to keep taxes low. It's the big banks that gamble on the economy that are the problem.

 

I didn't expect it. I'd bet you have never apologised to anyone for anything in your entire life so far.

 

Trust me, no help is needed in destabilizing the inner cities, they're already war zones.

 

Well comrade you should know Russians have used the personification since tsarists times. Why does it bother you?

Unfortunately comrade, you have been consistently unable to make evidenced backed reasoned arguments, so you have been reduced to these ad hominem attacks. Rather adding more irrational arguments to the fire, perhaps you should spend some time reevaluating your illogical arguments and rethinking your positions and beliefs rather than doubling down on a sinking ship.

 

Well, you obviously know nothing of macroeconomics or you are simply being dishonest. First, American debt isn't large by any measure. Most of the reported American debt is "debt" the government owes to itself. It isn't really debt. It is excess taxes and debt the government has repurchased. But due to the accounting method used (i.e. fund accounting), it is reported as debt. Second, the service on American debt is very low. It accounts for less than 6% of all federal government expenditures and the debt service is less than 1% of GDP. That's not in any way unmanageable. Third, unlike your beloved Mother Russia, American debt is denominated in its own currency (i.e..US Dollars). Therefore, unlike Mother Russia, The United States can never default on its debt, unless it chooses to do so. Unlike Mother Russia, the US can always and at any time pay off its debts. Fourth, US currency is a world reserve currency. It is "The World" currency. Therefore, there is an international demand for American currency that exceeds its borders. So the US can easily expand its money supply without adverse effects, again, unlike your beloved Mother Russia. And finally, the US has the ability to control inflation, should inflation ever become an issue. Inflation is much more than "just printing money". Expanding the money supply doesn't always equate to inflation as evidenced by the last 10 years.

Unlike your beloved Mother Russia, inflation in the US is virtually zero and has been virtually zero for a decade. Again, unlike your Mother Russia, the American economy has grown every year since The Great Recession ended in 2009, and again unlike your beloved Mother Russia, the American economy isn't a one horse economy. The American economy is a diverse and broad based economy.
