Guns from the Russian Bear

Theyre Not So Grrrreeeeaaaatttt!!!

But Russia's RIA news agency last week quoted "confidential sources" as saying that Russia was fulfilling terms of an S-300 contract with Iran, and the official news agency of Iran, IRNA, reported on Sunday that Russia was supplying it with the missiles.

If this is the case, and the missiles are used to defend Iran's nuclear facilities, attacking them would be made more difficult.

Hopefully they work about as well for Iran as they did for Syria.

The Resurgent Russian Bear

They send a 25 year old destroyer that probably hasn’t seen dry dock since the day it was launched with a crew that most likely gets less than 30 days a year at sea and this is supposed to be some kind of threat?

Russia today looks like a cross between the demographic train wreck that is Italy and the one dimensional economy that is Saudi Arabia. Long term, the oil will run out and their population’s refusal to make babies makes Russia a doomed culture and civilization (in the Sam Huntington sense of the term). Southern Russia gobbled up by Muslims and eastern Russia gobbled up by the Chinese means that in 100 years a full blooded Russian will be about as rare seeing a Baiji in the Yangtze.

I actually think it’s a shame to see a culture so willing to commit suicide, but what are you going to do?

At the end of the day, this planet belongs to those willing to fuck and have children.
