The world is changing. Again. Probably in a way not many have seriously excepted. At least not expected so soon. Anyone remembering the comments just some yars ago like "The Russians won't be back for the next three generations", and such talkings?

I read this about 15 minutes ago, and the frontpage page spoke of Russian "jets".

Alright guys, who complained? :p

A return to the good old days.

I can't wait to get back to hating the Russians and calling them commie bastards and being on the brink of nuclear war again! Putin is putting us on the path.

Acctually i personaly think its putin making a stand to bush saying his country will no longer be bullied or harrassed by the americans, not only that that he will no longer stand there and watch america use and abuse its "status"

Sigh. And I was having a bad enough day already.

You know, as someone who's (totally unfairly) experienced the residue of some of these original sentiments, I really really resent that.

I have to agree about the Putin part - he is really putting us on that path.

Don't really have any problem with the Russian people in general. However, I absolutely despise the Russian government. Just starting with WWII they have been nothing but an enemy to the US and its allies. I love how Stalin was so buddy buddy with Hitler until Hitler invaded Russia. Then the Russians cried for allied help. Of course when we asked for the Russians to help out with the Japs, they refused until the war was almost over, then it was just an easy land grab. Then we have the atrocities done to the Poles, and later what was done to the Germans and the other countries they grabbed. I really wish that Roosevelt would have listened to Churchill and refused the whole treaty. Ok, so let’s move on because I can forgive the Russians for a Stalin just like I can forgive the Germans for a Hitler. The Germans and the Japanese are now a pretty good ally of ours. Cool deal.

But no, then we have the cold war, we have the Russians supplying the enemies of America with weapons in just about every American war after WWII, we have constant skirmishes and close calls that almost destroy the world and it just continues... The Russian government has kept their country so backwards and for so long, it is just amazing. Anyway, I view the Russians as an enemy. How can I not? I have a large hatred for all that they have done and all they continue to do.
