I think they are very intellegent people over there... If you agree with them or not. I am rather open to the possibilities that Russia and China are up to no good. I guess we are going to find out sooner or later.
Good question on FP and a handful of other's always cited
They are, for the most part, highly intelligent and many of them are former military.
There is much information to be found in many of their posts, but their main reason for the sites existance is their belief is that all evil leads back to Russia, Perestroika and their grand deception to lure the U.S. into a false sense of security before unleashing nuclear warfare. (thus The Final Phase)
So one's beliefs about such things may not coincide with many of the opinions expressed there, but the discussions are insightful and at times can be extremely informative.
Honestly- I am quite impressed by the knowledge of many of the posters. They have provided substantial information linking AQ to agents of Russia. They tend to believe that the Cold War never really ended. While vodka infused Yelstin partied, corruption grew, but the KGB kept planning for nuclear war with the US. Yanomato mountain (sp) was and continues to be a major project.
Now, their paranoia has reached new heights as they believe we have "encircled" them. Also, they realize that we KNOW they gave AQ nuclear material and tech support....
