So the Russians are starting a new arms race, now. Does anyone think that perhaps the Russians are attempting to do to us what we crowed we had done to them? Bankrupt our economy through reckless military spending? I mean, like the Russians, we've foolishly invaded a foreign country we've no hope of taming (twice! one of them the same country they did). Plus, we've got people in charge of the country who spend enormous amounts of money on the military instead of on the people and the infrastructure, and do most of this on borrowed dollars (much of it, ironically, borrowed from a communist country). I have a strong suspicion that the Russians would revel in the irony of America falling as we foolishly tried to match them missile for missile, bomb for bomb, this time with no money to speak of, while they roll in oil wealth, oil which we contribute heavily to the high price of.
Schadenfreude.
Again.

I always believed that the reason we "won" the Cold War was because we outspent the U.S.S.R. So this isn't as shocking as it is sad (that our government is too stupid to see how history's repeating itself).
this is how one discovers they are a smurf.
Well, admittedly I've been feeling pretty blue and I've only got one woman, but...
Wait... A smurf? What?
