Revealing Russia

The latest verbal spat between Putin and Cheney has made me realize something. We are going to blow ourselves up. By "we" I don't mean America. I mean the world (well just the major powers who are the so-called protectors of the world). Putin compared America's current government to a wolf who does not listen. "Comrade wolf knows whom to eat, he eats without listening, and he clearly not going to listen to anyone" said Putin. Obviously, he was commenting on what appears to be the current U.S. foreign policy of pretty much doing whatever the hell we want without regard to the ideas of other nations or the current laws of the world.

Where I began to think that we are going to blow ourselves up, was when Putin made the comment on how Russia "also must make [their] house strong and reliable" with regards to military spending (Russia's is currently 25 times lower than America's). With that idea in mind, Putin and Russia are beginning to bolster their military in order to prevent themselves from being pushed around. If they are successful in doing this it will open an already open door even wider. Countries around the world are tiring of America's "policeman of the world" attitude and in the future will not hesitate to stand up if they see previous success.

I have included a little video that many people have seen before, but sadly enough it might come true.

you should read ray bradbury's martian chronicles, if you haven't. i just finished it.. easy read but with an almost terrifyingly prophetic feel.
