ORIGINAL: OwnerFiftyNine Maybe..... We had a shit load of joint ventures......including shrub`s joint military exercises and the space program..... The hits have been incremental.... Everything is on the block accept the joint space mission. Well yeah...I wont take you dancing but I will take you to dinner. We`re not savages like the soviets History would suggest otherwise. or the way the geopee would like us to be.......We should put astronaut`s lives on the line over Ukraine. Didn't we just send hundreds of paratroopers to play war games in their back yard...are a few astronauts worth more than hundreds of soldiers? The booster program,if not related to the lives of astronauts,would eventually be ended if pootie keeps up the soviet empire crap. Why is that our business? Someone smart doesn`t play every card at once.It starts with threats backed up by actions....Then more promises of punishment followed by more actions... It wouldn`t work if it was just us and a few allies acting....And it certainly would not work, if we chose violence and invasion as a 1st resort. Instead of the last resort The u.s. military has a pretty poor record when it comes to invading places like korea,cuba,vietnam,somlia,the sandbox. Now you are suggesting that the u.s. take on someone with a real army...roflmao. .....as the republicans did in Iraq. It has to be most of the big players acting together......to make sanctions count and hurt......It`s the reason the Iranians ae at the table What exactly have the iranians given up? and it`s the reason pootie blinked and called the President to de-escalate the situation..... What exactly has russia given up? And it`s the reason why russia`s bond rating is now bbb..... Triple fuck`n b ....mutha fucka ........Take that, pootie..... Is that the political/economic equivilant of a tripple double?
