Author Topic: What "new arms race?" First of Two Better than you Member # 16 posted                       For those of you who hadn't heard, Bush and Putin have announced a new treaty further cutting each side's nuclear warhead count, leaving about 1/3 of the missiles allowed under the original Start I Treaty (Start II, which would have reduced that amount a little, has not taken effect yet.) So much for the "the ABM defense will start a new arms race with Russia!" hysteria.

What about the "the ABM defense will start a new arms race with China!" hysteria? -------------------- "God's in his heaven. All's right with the world."

Now that's scary! Registered: Sep 2000  |  IP: Logged Wraith Zen Riot Activist Member # 779 posted                       Speed 2; that would be the one where the writer (can't remember his name) dreamt of the final scene and wrote the movie backwards from there.

Lindsey & I went to DC, & we stopped in at NASM--I haven't been there (NASM or DC) since I was 13. As we entered, I looked over to the left & exclaimed, "Holy fucking SHIT!! THOSE weren't there last time!!" It was an Amercian "Pershing II" & a Soviet SS-20 "Saber" IRBM side-by-side. I ran over & stared...& when no one was looking (not that I could be picked out in that crowd) I reach over & fondled the SS-20. Lindsey had the look of "Should I leave you alone?" I told her that "this thing could take out New York, LA, & Washington. By itself." That impressed her. MIRV. It's a lovely thing. -------------------- "The French have a saying: 'mise en place'—keep everything in its fucking place!" Registered: Jun 2000  |  IP: Logged
