This is another U.S.A instigated conflict to distract the russians while they get there ships in to place to blockade the Iranians harbour... which by the way is an act of war.
 

Ooooo I dont know? Lets go for 4 0 if Arshavin's on form...


I believe the 18 yard box is a minefield. that'll make him lighter on his feet.


hahahahahaha

Puts a whole new meaning to an explosive strike on goal.
 

Bundy. I can guarantee that I will be laughing. More than normal. I accept if it kicks off that I can do [Poor language removed] about it. So I am going to have a [Poor language removed] scream. Bar raids, bitch slapping, donkey shagging, [Poor language removed] it, may even have a go of Jordan if I let all my standards go.


In all honestly like.
 
Even though this is the most signifcant event to happen in the last 10 years (including 9/11), so naturally its gone largely unreported. The MSM has more pressing issues to report, such as Edwards (who's not ever a senator or a canidate) affair 2 years ago.

The west has created an enviroment (high oil prices) that has allowed Russia to reestablish itself as a superpower. Putin was smart enough to allow the US to f(*& itself up militarily and ecomonically in Iraq.

At least it may help Rangers given that their wont be any of the Balkan states left to defeat them.

Just wait until Russia gives Iran the nuclear technology they've been searching for and get ready for a Iran (and perhaps [Poor language removed] Iraq) vs. US-Isreal clusterf$%^. Its the beginning of a whole new cold war.
 

The US has very little to gain by provoking Rusia back into Georgia and a lot to lose.

The last thing the US would want is to give Putin the excuse to gain more of a stranglehold on the Black Sea coastline.

Oh, and it's quick difficult to blockade the Iranian coastline as it extends out past the Straits of Hormuz into the Arabian Sea / Indian Ocean; whereas, by minining the Straits to buggery the Iranians could easily stymie shipping routes from the Gulf of Arabia - extremely irritating and inconvenient for the US and her allies.

Also, the only thing the Russians and Iran have in common is a mutual distaste for the current US regime. Whatever pipelines may be opened up under the Caspian Sea, it's more than highly unlikely that Russia would seek to arm such a volatile neighbour in such a way that she would not be able to bring Iran to heel. Conventional weapons - certainly, Anti Satellite missiles - quite possibly, Nuclear weaponary - not a cat in hell's chance, Iran would be far more likely to acquire any technology on the Black Market, after all, the Russian military is no longer skint, and as they are fully signed up with JACIG, they are required to account for the hardware and it's storage.

When it comes to the Chinese, I think the West has less to fear than traditionally thought. One thing that the belated Industrial Revolution has done for the country is convince the powers that be that trade is the real route to Global power, and any activity that could compromise the trading environment will be re-examined very closely indeed. That's not to say that China will turn into a paragon of virtue, but certainly a softening of foreign and military policy and lip service towards the Nepal situation and Human Rights Issues.
