#1 And we could return the favor.

#2 We could, Rambler, if we had someone with courage in D.C.

#3 Guys, I've been through all this crap before. Damn near 40 years of my life never quite knowing if the latest crisis was the one that would get really out of hand.

Even Jimmuh didn't scare me the way our current failures do.

#4 Fuc* a bunch of Russian bastards.

Best approach; sit back, saying nothing and watch them closely. First time they screw with us, kill them all! Same formula applies for mooslims.

#5 Dmitry, this type of comment is not helpful. Here we are attempting to avoid any unpleasantness and you talk about radioactive ash. Do you want to be radioactive ash as well? No? Then shut the fuck up.

#6 I think most Rantburgers understand by now that it's the Democrat presidents who project weakness and have a callous disregard for the military who are most likely to get us into big, ugly wars. Guys like Wilson, Roosevelt, Truman and Johnson taught me all I ever needed to know about Democrats.

But Dmitry, the thing you need to understand about all this is that our enemies all regretted it.

#7 Bobby, unfortunately, I realize that. If Russia turned America into radioactive ash, Obama would introduce a strongly worded resolution to the UN, which Russia would promptly veto.

#8 You do that without the proper carbon emmission paperwork and the EPA will declare the Black Sea a protected wetland. Further violations will result in Al Gore hosting a global warming summit in Moscow, in January. Two words to let you know how serious we are: The Sea Shepherd.

#9 @5, Maybe we could exchange hostages of good faith, McCain for Dmitry? Or is that too 19th century?

#10 Translation "zip it up Mr McCaine"

#11 Dmitry, you should really chill-out, have a cigarette, a little vodka (in your case a bottle) and you will see things more clearly in the morning.











You do realize another "Cold War" would be like

#12 And we could return the favor.

With this balless, useless asshole in charge? I wouldn't bet on that. Probably wouldn't want to exacerbate the "Great Issue of Our Time". Which is, of course, Global Climate Change...
Besides, ya gotta break a few million eggs to make a nice big ass Brave New World Marxist omelette. And don't think that idea ain't tempting to him.

#13 Perhaps I don't remember the cold war as clearly as I thought because I don't remember that kind of threat. Even Khruschev's we will bury you was not a threat so much as a promise they would outlast us.

They sound like North Korea which is not enviable. Luckily it was a newscaster and not Putin.

#14 I note that the Russ didn't threaten us with the deadly EMP which will end all civilized life in this hemisphere. If you catch my drift.

#16 @rjschwarz: in keeping with Mark Twains wisdom, the sentiments expressed by the Russian talking head on ->STATE<- TV seem to rhyme with past zeitgeist..

#17 Is somebody hoping nuclear winter will combat global warming?
