How is this supposedly bankrupt Russia getting money for this military buildup?
Could it be that Nikita Kruschev was correct when, as I understand it, he stated in his May 5, 1962 speech before the Soviet Union’s Party Congress that the World Soviet could "bury the Capitalists of the West" and that there would be no need for Soviet forces to engage America and her NATO allies in an all-out nuclear conflict because capitalistic greed and avarice would provide all of the advantage that the Soviet forces would require? Is all this trade going on between Western investors and Russian entrepreneurs, as well as the billions in nuclear disarmament dollars carelessly donated by the American government, actually sowing the seeds for the future destruction of America and her NATO allies?
It is hard to fathom that we, in the West, could be so foolish. But Mr. Nyquist asks the obvious question and gathers some chilling answers from former members of the Russian military machine: Why is a supposedly bankrupt country spending its precious capital on war preparations?
http://www.ncoic.com/coldwar.htmRussia seeks its former level of international status (the status accorded to the former Soviet Union)--to include a larger share of global markets (arms) and greater influence in the international decision-making process. One of the main irritations expressed by Russia's political community is frustration over its diminished international stature in the post-Cold War order. Moreover, there is a high degree of anger over the decline in Russia's share of the international arms market. Many Russian leaders claim that much of the United States' criticism and pressure to halt potential Russian arms sales to so-called rogue nations, in actuality, is part of a U.S. ploy to dominate the global arms market. Russians look at the increase in U.S. arms market share and complain that the United States is trying to destroy Russia's defense industries and gain a monopoly for its own industries. As a result, Russia's political community is becoming much more adamant regarding Russia' right to sell arms to whomever it wishes.

The decision was not made in a torch-lit cave in Afghanistan, nor in a nondescript safe-house in Iraq. Implementing the plan would involve the highest officials of the United States government. The centerpiece of the plan is a portable nuclear weapon manufactured in the former Soviet Union. A tame “terrorist”, destined no doubt to be an eventual patsy, arranged for the bomb’s transport by sea, and the ship carrying it entered Galveston Bay on January 25, 2006. At this time the device remains hidden on board the ship that brought it, a freighter docked in or near the port of Texas City, about thirty minutes south of Houston, and only ten miles from the island city of Galveston.

New Rural Sales Pitch: Work Outside D.C.'s Fallout Zone
Winchester and its neighbors along Interstate 81 in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley have much to recommend themselves to potential employers, including a low cost of living, access to a major highway and views of the nearby Blue Ridge Mountains.
More recently, though, the area has been successfully trumpeting another attribute: It is just outside the "blast zone."
Development is booming along Interstate 81 near Winchester, Va., as federal agencies move to relocate offices.
In a little-noticed migration with implications for both greater Washington and the valley, several federal agencies, including the FBI, are relocating operations to the I-81 corridor

If Iran and Iraq won't willingly play war with Bush, Maybe Bush will Goad Russia or Iraq into war with himself . Cold or Hot. What is a tyrant psychopath to do if no one wants to play war with him?
He will INSTIGATE a war with some 9/11 type of a "catalyzing event".
A nuke in DC planted by the Russians and those evil communists....That'll get the dumb and desperate American poor people to enlist to die. The tyrant mentality says,Let the young and poor die over there... (Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Russia etc.)

“I heard about this danger
not only at the White House but from other pro-family leaders that I met during that week in Washington,” said. “Many people in a position to know are talking about the possibility of losing a city to nuclear or biological or chemical attack. And if we can lose one we can lose ten.“If we can lose ten we can lose a hundred,” he added, “especially if North Korea and Russia and China pile on.”

Some of this shit is stirred ..So the wealthy won't have to fight the angry poor over here..The dead poor overseas won't be alive to be demanding jobs at wages the wealthy don't feel like paying them.
So enlisting looks looks much more appealing after a bomb in DC
goes off and the rhetoric hits the roof.
So the poor and angry as in younger males with guts, guns and anger, won't be a threat to the wealthy HERE if they can be redirected to hate someone else preferably overseas..And the con game goes on.
