The Russians are coming


Just watched Sky news (which through the miracle of global communications I can view) and it appears that our old friends the russians are targeting nukes on major European cities again...

They've recently tested a ballistic missile that carries 10 MRVS (multiple reentry vehicles- effectively a missile that shoots 10 missiles out of itself in orbit) that can defeat the American missile shield over Europe...just thought you guys should know...

While I'm not anticipating nuclear war anytime soon, living in the worlds most isolated capital city might come in handy in this eventuallity...wink

Are you trying to stir up some good old fashioned Cold War paranoia? I think we should gollow in Napoleon and Hitler's footsteps and invade Russia.

Oh, no - on second thoughts it's too cold. Lets go home...

Dazza, you know as well as I that a post apolyptical world can be a place of enourmous adventure. Think Mad Max, Judge Dread, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Terminator... the list goes on....the search for a radioactive loaf of bread in th eruins of civilisation can turn into a most eventful day, whereas travelling to work on the 43 from Kingswood is as bland as eating 6 crackers at once while spending the afternoon in Millets.

By the way the biggest battle in human history was at a place in Russia called Kursk in 1943. The battle area was the size of Wales and involved 3 million men...are there 3 million men in Wales? I digress.

Next month I, a citizen of one of Russia's favourite countries, will be crossing the border between Russia &, another of their favourite counties, Estonia. On my own.  Hmmmm. wary.gif

Its my understanding that the missile shield is semi operational, being based in the Pacific on Midway island and Alaska.

The Americans have a naval system already in place called AEGIS and the now famous for not hitting anything land system know as Patriot.

The Star Wars System as envisioned by Ronnie Reagan was found to be technologically unworkable at the time- and still is. It did scare the Ruskies into spending billions more (that they didnt have) on the arms race and ultimately made them sue for peace...

Jar-Jar Binks would make anybody freak...

Tripe of the highest order...
