This is coldwar thinking. Not 21st Century thinking. We do not have to face an equal number of nuclear weapons in order to be toppled from unipolarity. If we are unpopular and if we deliberately offend Eurasia AS WE ARE DOING, then they will form a bloc capable of copeting for influence and of undermining PAx Americana. That's a simple fact. For you to ignore the incredibly profitable and cozy arms relationship between Russia and China right now, by the way, is staggering. It's the biggest flow on the planet and they together form a fantastically formidable threat. One that was only a simmer till W came along. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
