My opinion is that there is too much rhetoric in this 1st reply and possibly in your first question e.g. allies. |

Take out the fact I called Russia and China our allies and I believe it's a very simple question that should allow someone that really knows what they are talking about to explain it to me in somewhat of a very short and simple answer. |
Re: I have a serious question...
are starting to isolate ourselves from some of the top dog governments such as Russia and China?
So a very simple question for some of you. Are things getting worse, or has it always been like this (power struggle and threats) and I'm just now starting to take notice and get more involved?[/quote] |
Re: I have a serious question...
The nuclear posture of the country (U.S. military) is more relaxed than in previous years.

Re: I have a serious question...
The game stays the same, only the players change.
Most women say if they ruled the world there would be no wars, I disagree, I'd bomb them back to the stoneage...get it over with already. |
Re: I have a serious question...
I'm new to this forum...old person with technology. I won't point out that someone is clueless. I'll clarify and validate their question. Things are better.

No, we have the Pakistan and India threat, the Iran and Isreal threat, the Syrians, the Saudi's...the east/middle east is where we were with russia in the 80's. |
Re: I have a serious question...
Simply put, as 3rd world countries increase their technology, they get a little drunk with power until some slaps them down. North Korea? China? Same sh1t different countries.

In contrast to these threats, the US no longer has airplanes orbiting 24/7 waiting to give a "launch the nuclear arsenal" in response to a Russian or Chinese nuclear attack i.e. the 1980's. |
Re: I have a serious question...
I disagree, I think it's totally a different bucket of $hit. Just not so bad as "global nuclear annihilation."

Are you of the "duck and cover" generation?

Re: I have a serious question...
Global nuclear threat had been around for quite some time. Economically we as a country are in a much better position than we used to be. I don't think there is much in the way of valid arguments against that. There is poverty in our country and there is the have and have-nots but what are we to compare it with? We are the free market economy.

I used to fly with the big white whale aka my avatar the (Doomsday machine) E-4 aircraft. Things have changed since the days of having to find a landing spot somewhere on the planet after a nuclear attack. |
Re: I have a serious question...
That is a true statement. And, we do constantly end up in the "world police" position.
We are constantly coming to the defense and aid of the Underdogs. And I don't disagree with that, but it always keeps us in the middle of everything. As it also makes us a target. |
Re: I have a serious question...
In this day and age I think that people have become more altruistic than ever before. I think that things are much better for many reasons and wish I had time to hang here. It's my 3 day weekend and I have to take-off. Maybe later. Have a good weekend.
