Did Russia threaten the U.S.A.?

[LeeRyder]

interesting stuff here...

WASHINGTON – A senior Russian embassy official is threatening to use force if necessary to prevent the U.S. from deploying combat weapons in space.

Vladimir Yermakov, senior counselor at the Russian embassy in Washington, said his country is urging the U.S. through diplomatic channels against any plans for space militarization. But he told a space conference Russia would have to react, possibly with force, if the U.S. successfully put a "combat weapon" in space.

Sometimes I get so frustrated with the world and what we selfish humans beings have done with it, that I almost wish for a war or natural disaster to wipe us all out. Maybe then, the next race of beings that inhabit the planet can get it right, because we certainly haven't. WAKE UP YOU IDIOTS.

Big Ball Boris..considering you dont have a military left.

Which Boris are you refering to....?

And believe me its not just the Russians who will be reacting this time if the USA decides to Jack boot its way into another unspoilt wilderness. Why the hell would the USA be contemplating something like this, get your own back yard sorted out and then come sweeping other peoples crap up.

Boris is a generic term for russians

And believe me its not just the Russians who will be reacting this time if the USA decides to Jack boot its way into another unspoilt wilderness

another unspoilt wilderness? whats the otherone you refer too?

And believe me.. there isnt a damned thing ANYONE can do about it beyond whine, wheep and moan. Thats the benefit of being the biggest and best.. we can say "bite me" and you have to accept that reply.

Why the hell would the USA be contemplating something like this,

because only a fool wouldnt realise the importance of expanding the militaries role in space... a very stupid fool.

get your own back yard sorted out and then come sweeping other peoples crap up.

uhhh.. what are you talking about here? where not sweeping up others crap with this... unless your like.. incinuating something else and impying it ..would somehow have any relevance here?

I doubt this article is legit, Russia doesn't have a leg to stand on and China has enough problems on their homefront..We all know war sucks and it's bad and kills people but the truth is in order to survive you have to stay on top of your game which includes putting weapons in space otherwise the other guy has the upperhand if they have them in space and you don't. The US isn't going to sit back and trust Russia or China that they will not pursue this option as well....hell India has one of the most active space programs and I'm sure they have future plans to put weapons into space if they have not already. If the article is true excuse me while I laugh..I am curious to see what Putin thinks he can do to the US. IMO

 

[LeeRyder]

well, im not normally one to "vouch" for a news source ..but for WorldNetDaily... I entirely vouch for them 100%. They've made outrageous claims in the past and have always been proven right/correct in their assertions.

its actually one of the best places to grab news from BEFORE it hits the mainstream media.. and I mean WEEKS before in some case..but normally 3 or 4 days before.

 

[CoolGuy]

I think we need to live in harmony and rid ourselves of all these weapons. I'm for exploring space and stuff, but the US should be putting weapons up there, they'll have total control over us which can bad if they fall out of favour with us.

Well lets start with Vietnam and work our way forwards, this is just the kind of attitude that makes the USA so popular on a worldwide scale . The biggest certainly, but you could be the biggest pile of redneck mother loving burger chomping book hating ape crap.....doesn't make you the best. Best at what precisely ? Yeah I cant tell you how grateful all the EU troops are for your friendly fire incidents, another example of having the biggest and best in the world...but not having the intelligence to use the tools your money bought you.

Big dogs bark loudest....doesn't make them smart, just makes them loud.

But I accept everything you said, because you know what...you are right. And as a citizen of the UK I accept on a daily basis that you are in fact right. Doesn't mean that as an individual (remember that word for future reference) I have to accept what you stand for or what you believe in. To be frank I fear for the citizens of the USA I really do, as a humanitarian I am forced to care for a nation who can't see whats happening to their country. But you won't care as long as you can whoop someones ass and make sure you feel good about yourself before breakfast,

"Damn its good to be American....rest of the world ??? Who the f**k are they, and why the f**k do I care"

 

[LeeRyder]

Well lets start with Vietnam and work our way forwards,

OK lets start there. the progression of communism was an imminent threat globally..

but if your so against vietnam..why did you cheer when vietnamese baddy died in the 90's?
oh ya, it was because he executed 5 million civilians... or perhaps your like fonda and would rather shit on the truth than aknowledge it?

this is just the kind of attitude that makes the USA so popular on a worldwide scale

I personally would rather do the right thing than be popular. Pathetic that you would base your life on what other people think.

Yeah I cant tell you how grateful all the EU troops are for your friendly fire incidents, another example of having the biggest and best in the world...but not having the intelligence to use the tools your money bought you.

ohh, ya I guess that would be Americas fault and not the fault of the EU boys being in the wrong place at the wrong time (ie; not listening to orders). But hey, whatever bolsters your argument right? I mean, to hell with reason...

To be frank I fear for the citizens of the USA I really do

ahh, how quaint.

But you won't care as long as you can whoop someones ass and make sure you feel good about yourself before breakfast,

as opposed to cowards like those who subscribe to your beliefs? "Stop terrorism! So long as I dont have to lift a finger"

really, very telling of you. very self serving.

Thats what I love the most about America... we sacrifice outselves to help others..both in the 1940's..and today... eat that with your crumpets.

"Damn its good to be British....rest of the world ??? Who the f**k are they, and why the f**k do I care. I wont lift a damn finger to help another soul no matter the horrors being wrought on them."
you are a sad sad man.

If it wasnt for Tony Blair giving Bush some sort of guidance on reality, who knows where the US would be? Destroyed by the rest of the world uniting against the madness?

lmfao!!! omfg..way too funny! Thanks Rob! this thread needed some comic relief!..man..Im gonna have to remember that for standup night!

You guys really think americans are that popular in the world? WAKE UP!

Why do you america gets attacked so much, i can't walk anywhere over heard without hearing people say crap about americans.

Bush is an idiot if he goes into space, he will be stopped by force im sure russia have a few missles ready they keep a lot of info to themselves.

[LeeRyder]

you missed the part where I said we'd rather be right than popular, didnt you :P

Why do you america gets attacked so much

One time in 60 years is alot? Must have some wicked ganja there in the UK eh?

i can't walk anywhere over heard without hearing people say crap about americans.

youre freedom of speech provided courtesy of the United States Government and her people.

he will be stopped by force im sure russia have a few missles ready they keep a lot of info to themselves.

oh ya, we would site back, let someone nuke us and not nuke back.. brilliant!
If you would like to try it however, I'm sure you'd enjoy the eternal nightlight we (the USA) would provide free of charge to you and your ilk.

admit it..the most youll be able to muster against the US is a few hippy's ranting in the street..a toothless UN saying "Please dont! Or we'll say Don't again!".. and lastly, denying us Tea...

oh wait, we have a nice supply we've been saving for such an occasion in the Boston Harbor.

Lee, you are a stereotypical American and everything that the rest of the world hates about the US.

Dont you see that the reason you need all these weapons and ideas of the next form of defence is because you are so disliked (not speaking personally, I am talking about as a country).

We didnt dislike you before all of this, it came after, so justifying more showing of force being because you are unfairly targeted is not true.

Everything the US has done is biting you on the ARSE (hey, I am going to use the English spelling for once).

After everything that has happened over the past few years, my opinions have changed. When Sep11 came I was on the side of the US. My views became twisted in the anti-everything/everyone that America started spouting. I believed it.

Not anymore. And when the next thing happens, I wont be nearly as concerned. I wont say your civilians deserve to die - not at all. But do not expect the same sympathy you got before (not speaking personally again, but as a country and maybe even World).

Things have changed now.
