The new national athem has been reveled. It's catchy, what do you think?

Thanks for the rave - and it stuns me that people aren't crapping themselves over recent developments. We've gone in about seven years from reasonably good relations with Russia to the point where we were with Josef Stalin when he told North Korea to go for it and ordered the blockade of West Berlin in 1950-51.

And thanks to those gullible butt nuggets Richard Lugar and Sam Nunn, we've actually paid for Russia to upgrade its strategic arsenal while we degraded our own! I refer to the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction program, which has given the Russian state the money they needed to pull old nuclear weapons out of their water-logged silos (not the problem you'd think it is, since Russian silos use "cold launch" to eject missiles from the silo prior to ignition) so that the plutonium in them could be recycled as nuclear fuel in the US - and brand-new, much more reliable and highly accurate nuclear missiles, pointed right at Americans (despite Clinton's lies to the contrary) built and deployed across Russia, mostly on mobile launchers which can't be targeted with anything like the counterforce accuracy that silo-launched missiles can. Meanwhile, we've been pulling out all of our expensive Peacekeeper ICBMs and in the few cases where they're replaced, they're replaced with older, less-capable Minuteman IIIs. If we didn't have a missile gap in the Cold War, we sure have one now - and for the second time, we're depending on the Russians to have the restraint not to exploit an absolute advantage in their nuclear arsenal compared to ours (the first time being when Nixon, Ford and Carter bargained away much of our advantage to allow the Soviets first parity, then superiority over us in nuclear weapons).
