Re:-- Russia's "Drastic Endgame"

Scribbler Skanker writes

In a grim finale, commanders launched three intercontinental ballistic missiles, the type that can carry multiple nuclear warheads. It was a clear signal of the drastic endgame the Kremlin might consider should its conventional forces not hold. One of the missiles flew more than 7,100 miles, allowing Russian officials to claim they had set a distance record.

If these images of Russian power projection appeared drawn from the dark decades of Dr. Strangelove, the response from Washington was anything but.

Power projection? Russian? As if power projection wasn't the cornerstone of Bush's New American Century neocon endgame -- so thuggishly expounded by your own Editorial Boards' Bill (Smirking Face) Kristol.

Someone needs to let you know what crap you print. Enjoy your ride. history turns.
