Almost had an incident with the Russian Navy when I was in the Navy. Don't tell me it's the Cold War again!

They been testing us for years...Just a game the pilots play. We will only worry if it is about 50 Bombers headed our way, and they refuse to turn around...WW3 will start !

Cold War in Alaska, I get It !

It's foolish for anyone to get uptight over this. I'm sure we've taunted them in the past.

Let them play their little game, showing off their ancient technology.

It like this.
The US says they own 500m out to sea.
The russians only accept 12m
So they chase the russians away

The russians says they own 500m out to sea
The us accepts 12m
So they chase the americans away.

The aussies says they own 150m out to sea.
The indonesians accept 12m

It happens all over the world and starts many a conflict.

Russia is upset that were going to build radar instellation along there border, which we claim are to alert us of a missle attack from Iran.

Did anyone ever dought that Russia would stay down after there colasps ? I didn't.

I think the Russians have a right to be upset over the radar installation. We claim that it's for Iran, but Iran has no ability to reach us with missiles, and we have much better tracking devices located around our boarders.

We have no right to be protecting other countries, nor do we have the right to be spying on them. If we would mind our own business, we would have a lot less problems.

How else are we going to find out what other countries are up to if we don't listen in once in a while. The trouble we get into is when we don't listen to what is being said.

Rave · 03-28-2008, 11:46 PM

Heck,we don't even know what our country is up to.

Actually, Putin's a pretty hardcore communist (or whatever you want to call it these days). The Boris days have come to a close. He's also selling Iran lots of stuff creating a situation that's probably no good for anyone. The "incursions" or border testing which didn't happen for quite some time are suddenly back on.

The Russians are upset George Bush wants to build a missle base
in Central Europe supposedly for protection from the Middle East that is, in fact, closer to Moscow than the Middle East.

Of course, we have reasons to be upset with the Russians such as their recent U.S.$1.0 Billion dollar sale of military technology (some of it very advanced) to the Iranians.

So, it just keeps going back and forth and forth and back.
