"...since the end of the Cold War."

Commencement Address at Boston College (Secretary Condoleezza Rice, Boston, Massachusetts, May 22, 2006. US Department of State)

Excerpts:
As a student of a Catholic high school, the Sisters of Loretta taught me, I am pleased to be at an institution of higher education with such strong and celebrated Catholic and Jesuit traditions . . . You see, I got my Master's Degree at Notre Dame. (Boos.) I acquired a passion for the fighting Irish . . . and my family has been college educated and Presbyterian ever since. (Laughter and applause.) . . . I wandered into a course on international politics taught by a Czech refugee who specialized in Soviet studies, a man who had a daughter by the name of Madeleine Albright. With that one class, I was hooked. I discovered that my passion was Russia and all things Russian.


What would Benito do?

Relax folks - it’s called GUnboat dipolmacy - WE do it all the time.

THe support ships are in case the “Peter the (not so) Great” needs a tow - after breaks down or catchs fire - again.

As far as the
“Peter the Great is armed with 20 nuclear cruise missiles and up to 500 surface-to-air missiles, making it one of the most formidable warships in the world”

Do the math on say, the USS Reagan.

That red star on the bow is a nice touch.

So what happens if the ruskies sink one of their own ships while in the area?
