Russia/Soviet's (lets face it thats where they are heading) are becoming increasingly agressive and bombastic, and they want us to disband alliances
Ask old Nevil C. about how that worked out with Hitler. "peace in our time" ring a bell.

They invaded Chechnya. But then they couldn't afford to invade since Afghanistan.

How's your economy in Germany doing?

lol, Nato is just a childish exclusion club.
If Putin was really out for vengeance he could easily roll over most of europe before Nato even manages to have their first counsil on what to do about it.
Clearly it's not a war Putin is after.
I don't understand why so many people bash him anyways. He resolved the problem with North Korea's nuclear program FOR you. No war, no threats, just a simple trade deal. Thats all it took.
Yet, the US on the other hand was pushing threats of military actions, trade lockdowns... in the case of Iraq, they invaded and occupied, with WMD's as merely an excuse...
who is Russia invading?
Ask yourself that and figure out who's more level headed.

2.7% growth during 2006, 3rd largest economy in the world, although unemployment is a little high, but falling. Nothing to cry about.
Now, how's that crisis in the US coming along?

What crisis?

In recent years performance has been sluggish, particularly in the ex-communist east. Unemloyment is very high in Germany and taxes are out of control. Don't get me wrong, I like Germany but saying that capitalism is sub-par to communism is ludicrous.

I never made the comparison between Communism or Capitalism, I was just pointing out that Germany was not as bad as you made out.

Just what I thought.....you have nothing. When you cannot come up with a reasoned response, just make a sly comment.

I never said you did. You replied to a question I was asking another poster who was comparing Capitalism and Communism.
