In 2001, President Bush, apparently possessed by the spirit of Ronald Reagan’s long dead
Star Wars defense plan, opted out of the thirty year old Anti-Ballistic Missile Pact to build a missile defense system in
Eastern Europe. The treaty was designed to stop the massive arms race during the cold-war that drained both economies, and placed the world on the
brink of destruction.
Current President of Russia, ex-KGB officer, and accused radiation poisoner Vladimir Putin believes the target of Bush’s missile defense shield is Russia. In response he announced a new mutli-warhead ICBM and an advanced cruise missile adding, "We are not the initiators of this new round of the arms race."
I don’t know what is more ridiculous, the fact that we spent any money trying to deter a nuclear attack with a “shield” or that Russia thinks it can keep up with us in an arms race. Russia has thousands of war heads capable of overwhelming any defensive shield, and Russia has a GDP slightly less than Mexico utterly incapable of sustaining an arms race. Besides, didn’t we already play this game? The following photographs indicate a clear victor.

Kasparov, the world's greatest chess player, quit chess to go into politics and try to rally anti-Putin political factions in Russia. Putin is a real ass hole, although we are partly to blame for what's happened because we should have gone into Russia with aid after the cold war instead of letting them languish for revenge.
