Read? Uhh, look... I think YOU need to read.

How often in the last couple of years has a hostile foreign power flown a squadron of Nuclear bombers over the United States?

Uhh... You can answer that.

Flown by insurgents....

Oh noes, the terrorists have learned to fly nuclear bombers!!

RUSSIAN NUCLEAR BOMBERS DO NOT CONDUCT TRAINING EXERCISES OVER ENGLAND.

Alexei:

Please explain, if Russians are oh-so-peaceloving and communism is "dead", why the RAF had to scramble fighters to intercept Russian bombers heading towards Southern England?

I'm sorry but if you really mean what you're saying, I think you're just dumb.

This is the FOURTH time Russian bombers have approached NATO airspace since May.

Of course, one little "accident" could be overlooked, but as I said this is the fourth incident.

Lets say that again. FOUR times have Russian bombers approached UK airspace. FOUR times they have been intercepted by the Royal Airforce.

"Peaceloving?"

Thats tosh.

Oh, and is communism really alive in Canada?

Ask this: Does the communist party in Canada control 13% of the votes

No.

Does the Communist party in Russia control 13% of the votes?

Yes.


Number of seats the Communist party of Canada has ever won,

Grand total: 1
Record vote percentage: 2.13%

Canadian elections, 2006: 0.02%
Russia: 13%

Yeah, Communism is REALLY alive in Canada and REALLY dead in Russia.

Idiot...

And I will cease being disrespectful as soon as Russia stops sending bombers to intimidate the West.

It would be nice if THEY would show respect in that regard.

So you're pretty much saying Canada is almost Communists because we have laws against discrimination and we don't allow people to just randomly carry around lethal weapons...?

Yeah, really sounds like a communist country to me...

Answer 1

Most people in the world view the USA as the most dangerous country on earth.

Answer 2

I think you are irrationally paranoid. being a american myself (of Russian blood) I find your entire question laced with sarcasm and disrespect. First you call Russians Reds? Communism is dead. And the world is better for it. My grandparents had to flee their homeland because of that evil doctrine. Modern Russia is far closer to being Nationalist in the year 2007. However, one look at the legislation in your nation of Canada tells me that Communism is alive and well in Merry ole Canada.

But to answer the question. Russia (for which I have much family there) is focused on peace. The Russian people are only 3 generations removed from Hitlers invasion. (Which ended with the complete destruction of the German war machine at the hands of the Russian Patriots). Russians more than anybody know how counter productive to a decent life hostilities are.I don't think anyone in Russia wants any type of conflict. You see the economy in Russia (contrary to what BBC and Fox news report) is growing rapidly. There are more jobs, unemployment is down, and for the first time in over a decade the birthrate for ethnic Russians is booming. Russian quality of life has already vastly improved since the honorable Vladimir Putin has taken the reigns of the nation. (That is what happens when a man who loves his people takes over)The Russian people are now free of the dead weight that was the Soviet Union. Lean, and hungry for development (Economic, and Technological) while cities in western Europe are surrendered to the barbarians Russia is flourishing.



Response to your ignorant foolish statements.
1) Russia, and the west would regularly test each others capabilities. If (and that is a big if) the Russians have approached English air space lke the English are implying it was nothing more than a test on English capabilty. This was done regularly and is really no news.

Now I will address your petty statistics. You mention support for communism at it's peak in Canada garnered only 2% of the vote whereas in Russia it received 13%.
This may be true. However, when I spoke of communism being alive and well in Canada I did not necessarily mean that the communist party in Canada was alive per se. What I intended to say was that the policies that a great deal of your elected politicians pursue are communist to the bone. Much of your legislation was in fact introduced in the Soviet Union decades before it was brought to your shores. I made a short list of links that are a testimony to that. A) You have hate speach laws in Canada. These laws are similar to the laws in the old soviet union known as the "social solidarity acts" which were passed once communist took power to ensure that no ethnic group cold legally critisize another. It attempted to ensure that Uzbehks, Tajiks, Latvians, etc got along. If one broke this law he was brought before a court to apolagize, then punished for his insolence and publicly ridiculed. I am not saying I agree, or disagree with the law. All I am saying is that your politicians took a page out of the U.S.S.R.'s book on that one.

You,in Canada have for all intensive purposes been stripped of your right to keep and bear arms. Again, gun confiscation was one of the first pieces of legislation passed in the Commiseriat when Lenin seized power.



I could go on and on with the similarities my little Canadian fool. However it is pointless. Canada is headed in the direction of communitarianism whether you know it or not. Just because a piece of legislation is enacted by a so-called liberal, or labour as oppossed to a member of the communist party doeas not mean that legislation in question is not communistic in origin. In fact I would venture to say that right now in the year 2007 the average Russian has more rights and freedoms in Russia than the average canuck has in Canada.
And as for England (whom everyone appears concerned about it matters little). For the English Russia is no threat. The only threat facing the English are it's open borders that allow massive non-western immigration into it's country. In 50 years or so at the rate that the U.K. is demographically changing it will be quite irrelavent as a nation anyhow. I suppose the same could be said of Canada.

Answer 3

Interesting. Not to much past the UK from Russia. maybe flown by insurgents :)

Just a mistake of flight plans...The US just misplaced 6 nukes on a bottom of a bomber... Just another mistake

Yea ... right!

the only time you put weapons on a plane is when they are on alert or if you are tasked to move the weapons to a specific site

Answer 4

Russia is flexing it's military might. They our trying to remind the world they are a military power. It is a scary thought, but Russia may be a threat on the horizon again.

Answer 5

Russia has straightened out their economy and are on their way to become a financial power house .

Answer 6

1. Russian planes just make their planned training.

2. Your government scares you, as usually. You buy it, as usually.

My suggestion: your government stuck in some dirty business again and tries to make a smokescreen.
Please watch for a big corruption scandal.

Answer 7

Trying to relive the 'glory' days of the old communist dictatorship and restart the cold war.

Answer 8

They are just flexing their muscles and letting everyone else know that they are a power to be reckoned with. It is all for show.

Answer 9

They're trying to find weak points in Allied defenses and surveillance on equipment and strength.

Answer 10

Just flexing their muscles, letting know the world that the Russians is still a world power.. so they believe.
