How much is Russia spending on their military build-up, with their huge oil profits?? I can bet you they will be rolling out new TU-160's left and right! And the U.S. very well knows that. The cold war really never completely "thawed", as most people seem to think. Yes our relations are ok, but not perfect. If they where I probably wouldn't be seeing the E4's and E6's flying around almost daily in Omaha.

Bush Arms Buildup Rivals Hitler and Stalin

The relentless increases in Pentagon spending President Bush has pushed through since taking office recall the actions of Hitler and Stalin prior to the outbreak of World War Two.
Both European dictators escalated their war machines and both dictators showed little concern when their domestic economies and workers’ incomes suffered as a result.

The US spends more on military research and development ($70.3B) which is more than Russia's entire military budget. This does not even count the unknown amounts of the tens of billions being spent in the black budget programs the US military has. Still, military spending makes up 5-6% of US GDP, we could spend far more than we currently do...
This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.

What is wrong with you Bush haters? An Arms buildup? Do you even know what you are talking about? China has tripled their budget in the last 5 years. They are commisioning 3 carriers in the next 2 years. Their standing army is doubled in size. We on the other hand have 100K more troops in the past 8 years. Yeah, arms buildup.
Look at what Reagan did with the military. THAT is an arms build-up! AND IT WORKED!
Go back to your Bush-haters clubs and find some more talking poits.

Whoever wrote that article, clearly has a very, very flawed recount of history.

Absolutely correct. Stalin was either in denial that the Germans where coming or actually believed Hitlers non aggressive pact. Only after finally realizing that his country was about to be taken over, did he start his war machine. In which he did an incredible job creating so many tanks, aircraft,etc., in such a short period of time.

So what illegal war was that? You mean the one that Congress voted for and approved? Illegal by whose law?
So when were the elections called off? When did we become a dictatorship? Just because you want to think that is happening doesn't make it true.
You seem to be stuck in the if you tell a lie long enough it becomes true category. If the elections are called off, then I will buy into your 'claim' about the US and our style of Govt. Until then, just empty words.
Now are you really trying to say that clinton didn't give China state secrets? I think you need to go educate yourself about bubba and his treason when it comes to China.
You can cry all about the anti-American bias, but it is there and it exists.
