I guess our space program will be on hold (since we pretty much rely on the Russian space system). Hmmmm.

You know how you can tell things are so bad in Russia right now? They are being humiliated at the Olympics...there used to be a time when a unified Soviet Union came off as the supreme communist power in the world.

China proved the past 12 days who is in the driver’s seat...Russia is a big mess.

NATO was created to fight Russia - I wonder what ties they have that are effective?

Is Russia ready to go to war against the west? Nope, China would walk north and just take the old fields and Russia will become North China and be gone.

Russia blew it, the media blames President Bush, America is doing what is can to restore order and calm people down.

This probably includes joint space missions, use of space station, etc. Do we get out Humvees back?

The equivalent of taking one’s ball and going home.

Cold War II starts now.

Or worse yet, Putin decides to start using the Intl Space Station for target practice.

Well, I was surprised their little incursion into Georgia wasn’t big news much sooner. It’s like everyone has been asleep.....
