12 Tanks are Going Towards Kiev

They are moving North towards Fastiv highway, having already crossed Odessa highway. They are using detour roads. We remind that police forces and the army must defend their people and the President they have chosen --people's President V.Yuschenko.

Shevardnaze? Something like that...

Did the Ukraine give up its arsenal of nuclear weapons to Russia or was that Belarus?

"...arguing with an American born WASP"

Pardon me, but I don't remember arguing with you.

[MarMema]

Eduard Shevardzne. His wife was nationalistic to the point of evil. May still be, for all I know.

[SierraWasp]

"WASP? I don't think so. Define this word for me."

That'd be me!!!

[MarMema]

Oh I feel so much better. I thought I was the WASP, and here it turns out it was you all along. :-) Whew.

[MarMema]

Have a great day!

It was the Ukraine, here's a clipping from an article on the 'liquidation' of the last RS-22. If I get the time, I'll try to find the original post about this, from 2001 or so.

which depicts a messianic role for Russia

Stalin just borrowed it. It is an old Orthodox belief.

[SierraWasp]

That's it!!! But he was a Georgian, not a Ukranian. I had him in the wrong country. Thank you very much! My mind is at rest, once again.

[GOP_1900AD]

You remember correctly. Well at least you know who you are, unlike some others here! ;)

[GOP_1900AD]

Yes.

[MarMema]

You have a great Thanksgiving. And do post the pics of those tanks when you get them.

[GOP_1900AD]

On the books and officially, Ukraine turned over all nukes and all TU-95 and TU-160 bombers and all ICBM subs during the early 90s, perhaps into the mid 90s. The key operative here, of course, is, "officially."

[MarMema]

I beg your pardon. My husband is a Ukrainian and so are many of our closest friends. That makes my son 1/2 Ukrainian and all of my inlaws either very Ukrainian ( many speak it), or somewhat Ukrainian. Depends on how you want to view it.

Speak for yourself in the future to avoid looking stupid.

[txhurl]

Amazing we're going to get involved in this.

Talk about wrong war, wrong time.

And I'm a war-monger, too, sheesh.

[SierraWasp]

Well... You might still be it, if you are White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP)!!!

This Waspman prolly ain't it, so back to you bein "it!"

Ukraine Special Weapons

[GOP_1900AD]

Well then, you must have lied when I asked you about your background. You told me you had been converted to Eastern Orthodox Christianity from being a protestant. And you look like a White Anglo Saxon, or maybe German or Scandanavian, based on the photo of you at that Jim Rob BBQ.
