"A Pentagon spokesman said that "we are aware of the exercise" and that it was similar to U.S. maneuvers carried out "to maintain readiness.""

Worthy of a repost.

I doubt it very much that Russia and the USA would want to annihilate each other. The overriding reason prevents them from doing so. We share too much in common: religion, culture, history, traditions and ethnicity. Why would they want their friend and partner, a member of their own family, if you will, obliterated?

Of course, the detractors would rather see us as enemies rather than friends and partners in our fight against terrorism and Mohammedan. You know, the old divide and conquer.

The plain fact is that the USA and Russia need each other, and so does the rest of the Western world.
