#1 Time for the Ukraine to kick the gas subsidy habit. Time for the Russians to consider a new home for the Black Sea fleet.

#2 Here's a thought - offer to let the Russians base the Black Sea Fleet in Norfolk or Charleston. The infrastructure is there, it's not like the ~~Soviets~~ Russians can actually DO anything with the fleet, they get the best maintenance/training money can buy, and US communities hit by defense cuts get some bucks.

(Honestly not sure if I'm kidding or not.)

#3 Think of the crew retention problem Mike. Maybe MayPort, Jacksonville would keep them on their ships.

#4 So. from potens domestic "American Hiroshima(s)" to various "Geopol Hiroshima(s)", the Rogue crises hits the fan in 2006 [Limited Wars], but to end NLT 2007 so Mother Hillary can run and show us mere Men/Heterosexual Males how to run a planet unto PC, Good-for-Everyone anti-US Universal Regulation, Registration, Government, Global Welfarism, Global Recession, and Global Regression. Global Socialist Utopia > no more Wars because no one will have any Guns, Rights, Private Wealth or Private Freedoms - you know, Universal Laissez Faire- save those living in Mackinder's World Island weirdly and mysteriously but only coincidentally aka Commie Asia, sub-aka Russia-China.
