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.
