Missile Defense

Russian military leaders have expressed concern about US plans for a national missile defense system. Will defense technology be limited by possibilities for a strategic imbalance? Is this just SDI all over again?

"Small USSR states seem to have shaped up and got on with independence far faster than Russia"

Absolutly wrong as far as I know. With the exception of the Baltics. But even them are far from a model in regard to the national tolerance.

Please show me wrong.

"Your whole goal is to defend Milosevic."

My whole goal is to find out how many of your kind live in this country and to what extend they shape up the US policy and influence the "American way of life" as was shown in Iraq and Yugoslavia.

My sad conclusion is - very many and very strong, covering the whole spectrum from "left" to "right". I wish I am wrong. But I do not think any reasonable and honest people around the world can that easily discard this dreadful possibility.

"isn't the role of an intelligence agent to gather info rather than act as a politician .."

It seems the "role of an intelligence agent" or CIA in short, goes far beyong gathering info. As incidently was a case with Gestapo or KGB.

"And of course mean mouth Western Civilization for freeing them."

If I think you believe in what you said, should I blaim the US educational system and brainwashing "free" media and Hollywood?

If I don't, should I blaim the traumatic early years of your life? The mid-life crisis?

Where such an ignorant and brutal superiority/inferiority and sado-masohistic complex took its roots?

You spout noisly, but to poor effect. You twist and squirm, but the lack of depth in your arguments betray your ignorance.

While I am flattered by your facination with me personally, you should occasionally tear yourself away from your obsession and occasionally come up with an idea, or facts, or analysis or something.

Your devotion to me personally is, shall we say, "embarrassing".

["Your whole goal is to defend Milosevic."]

Like I said. Better run home and help dig up all those rotting corpses, under the roads, in the danube, in the mass graves scattered across Serbia. Gonna be some real "troublesome" construction projects in Serbia for some time.

["And of course mean mouth Western Civilization for freeing them."]

If I think you believe in what you said, should I blaim the US educational system and brainwashing "free" media and Hollywood?

No, since it was virtually all of Europe and Western Civilization that rose up as one to free the Serbian people from Milosevic.

Now why do you think they did that? Generally, they hoot and jeer at us, much less follow orders.

Here's a hint. Racial politics had returned to Europe. Been there, done that.

If I don't, should I blaim the traumatic early years of your life? The mid-life crisis?

That you need to resort to personal insults, speaks for itself. Regardless, you are exposed.

Where such an ignorant and brutal superiority/inferiority and sado-masohistic complex took its roots?

But don't stop, having to resort to the personal insults immediately discredits you to any remotely impartial thinking person in attendance. Making your presence and comments totally worthless.

Its up to the reader.

Sure is.

And I got virtually all of Western Civilization including Serbia supporting my position.

Feeling kinda lonely lately?

Anyone who denies you information considers themselves your master

"While I am flattered by your facination with me personally, you should occasionally tear yourself away from your obsession and occasionally come up with an idea, or facts, or analysis or something."

You really can't read beyond what you recognize as supporting your position, can you?

I gave you facts and analysis, but you have no comprehension, so you make lame, snide comments.

Poltroon.

Sure, but you are long on insults and short on ideas.

I gave you facts and analysis, but you have no comprehension, so you make lame, snide comments. Poltroon.

I rest my case.
