Gonna feel good to relive the 80s again! Hopefully we'll get a new crop of John Hughes movies and new new wave music!

That's what happens when you get a wussbag liberal in the White House. Time to reverse all the great things Reagan accomplished. The world will slowly go back into its unstable pre U.S. World Police era. Why would anyone fear a United States helmed by a passifist/socialist that's not going to do anything.

Christ almighty. I don't know if we'll survive four years of this.

Then I suggest you kill yourself. Also, before you do, can I have some of your shit?

I realize you thrive on being a douchebag, and this is all an act, but I'd still like to point out that...

Explaining the move, he cited concerns over Nato expansion near Russia's borders and regional conflicts.
Last year, the Kremlin set out plans to increase spending on Russia's armed forces over the next two years.

Last year, Obama was voted in as President.

[Jice Virago]

I'm guessing you mouth breathers think the Ruskies knew we were going to elect Obama over a year ago to draw up these plans?

Fact is, they know we are fucking tied down in the Middle East and after watching us engage in good old fashioned Imperialism, the can expand their armed forces with popular support. Also, when the entire world economy finally collapses and we all go full on Orwell, they will have the troops to benefit from the situation.

This isn't anything new. A lot of Russians were enthusiastic about Glasnost, Perestroika and freedom but the reality hasn't been all they hoped for. They expected to turn into a Western European/US clone overnight. Instead they saw the Russian empire crumble with countries like Ukraine, the Baltic states, Georgia and others reclaiming independence that had been lost since before the communists siezed power. Instead of being a dominant player, they saw their influence decrease and thats hard on their national pride. Putin represented a shift back to the "old ways" to a lot of Russians who don't like to remember/admit that they were almost a 3rd world country except for their military under the Communists. He's been ratcheting up the rhetoric for a few years now, especially when it came voicing his displeasure at NATO admiting former Warsaw Pact states into NATO (i.e. like when Bush was in Ukraine and they were pushing to become a NATO state). Couple that with the fact that a year ago with $100+/bbl oil prices, Russia was making enough money courtesy of Black Sea and Siberian oil fields to be able to seriously entertain the notions of rearming.

I don't think it will revert to a full scale cold war with the Russians without something drastic polarzing things a lot more because too many of them remember the Communists and their depredations, while the younger generation of Russians has gotten used to a lot of Western influenced ideas and won't sacrifice them in the name of nationalistic pride. I do think the West is already in a "quieter" cold war already, with the Chinese, when you look at the things like the cyber attacks and technology espionage incidents, just no one wants to admit it, because they don't want the tensions as high as they used to get with the Soviets. We're trying to use trade to break the barriers, and influence them even if it means signing off on some pretty one sided agreements with the Chinese.

Maybe China and the Soviets can have a Cold War and leave us out of it this time so we can concentrate on improving our country. We'll get back to snuff during Cold War 3 or 4.

Lotta great pr0n comes from the former USSR states as well as Russia itself.

Russia has terrible porn!

[Winnow]

Russia has terrible porn!

I don't like big buts and I can not lie.

[masteen]

Russian pron sluts are awesome. Pron made by russians is awful.

p.s. If Obama is smart, he'll make nice, and get the Russkies to buy their guns from us. Good-bye recession!

[Winnow]

Well, that's what I meant! I should have been clearer. Don't limit it to Russia though. The surrounding countries previously behind the iron curtain provide lots of women for pr0n as well.

We should be so lucky!

God bless that man!

Before I refuse to take your questions, I have an opening statement.
--Ronald Reagan

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
--Ronald Reagan

[Kaldaur]

Hold on while I cum all over myself thinking of Reagan for the third time tonight.
-Rush Limbaugh

[Winnow]

If the Soviet Union let another political party come into existence, they would still be a one-party state, because everybody would join the other party.
--Ronald Reagan

It's like a Winnow + Reagan lemonparty in here
