Ok, maybe not an all-out attack but definitely confront the US militarily to test some of their new naval weapons systems.... :P
The US hasnt had much of a military equal since the end of the cold war and I personally think that this should be changed.

I suppose if Russia wants to be the big badass again it should really hurry up and do it, because it is one of the few regions of the world which is actively depopulating, and it should drop below 100 million by 2050, IIRC...

Yes, Russia should attack the US. China too, along with France, North Korea, Iran, and Palestine. Then the USA could wipe out all the world's problems at once. :P

You might be a redneck if...

You think France should be included in the Axis of Evil.

(whoops on the Russia thing. That estimate was made by projecting it didn't improve by 2050, and there is some sign of improvement in the population over the past few years. Still, they have around a half what the Soviets had at their disposal).

Including the US itself! :lol:
Like it or lump it, Russia DOES INDEED have the capability to DESTROY the United States if it chose to do so. Trouble is, Russia would be destroyed as well.

Of all the countries we own, I'm surprised we still haven't conquered Russia and Cuba!

Probably because of their expansive Nuclear Arsenal. :wink:

The U.S. satellite countries on Russia's borders are destroying themselves far more efficiently than is Russia. Moldova is a total disaster known for its export of white slaves. The Baltic states are depopulating and now are in meltdown... and Georgia and the rest, awful... The Ukraine promises a contraction of over 10% for this year... When will they realise that Natalia Vitrenko is their best bet over there?

We did, we just did it with Levi's 501s and CocaCola rather than bombs and bullets. We'll get China the same way, our culture is the greatest weapon in our arsenal, and the stealthiest too.

Did you see what we did to Baghad with GPS guided munitions?

Our planes are better than any other military aircraft.

Our tanks are the best in the world.

Our shoulder launched missiles (the Stinger) lead to the defeat of the Soviet Union in Afghanistan and eventually to the demise of the Soviet Union.

It would be a very bad move for any nation to take us on in battle. We would cream them.

The one area that the U.S. is positively numero uno in is weapons of both mass and tactical destruction. We excel in Death.

Of course not conflict only fans the flames of destruction which causes suffering which then causes despair. No person should be forced into a situation where they will have to feel despair.

Goodness gracious! Whatever then are we doing watching all those military marshmallows in Iraq and Afghanistan kill over four thousand invincible American troops over a period much longer than WWII?

Probably not. Mutually Assured Destruction isn't on my list of things to see.


Oh, and the british Challenger II tank is the best. 8) :lol:
