Nice one, thanks for that Yeah I was thinking about the Iskander; thats the IRBM I was getting mixed up with.

Iran has the Iskander too doesnt it?

Russia is up to no good.

Just that simple.

They have been rotten to the core since they went Commie.

They are lost and are seeking the false security of their old Evil Empire identity.

I like your posts Oswald, they are succinct and to the point; what do you think is going to be the " conclusion" to whats going on vis a vis Ukraine situation? Seriously I mean. Whats your take on it?

I think theyve become even more corrupt since the collapse of the USSR; a lot of people, including Putin and Abramovich, got very rich very quickly, one Russia opened its doors to private companies buying stocks and shares in gas and oil. The rise of the Russian Mafia bankrolled the likes of Putin et al. Oligarchy. Thats why the strategy of hitting them where it hurts (in their wallets) works. Theyve gotten used to their luxurious lifestyles; once youve had a taste of that way of living, theres no way youre going to do anything that will jeopardise it, no matter what it takes.

I don't know where you're getting information that Russia is developing tactical nukes, or that America doesn't already have them.

It's already public knowledge that NATO has tactical nukes in Europe.

You mean Russia got rid of outdated nukes. Russia isn't developing tactical nukes, they've already made thousands of them.

Theyre not recently made though are they NN? I mean by recent, in the last, say, 5 years?

And you also produced Die Antwoord, which is fine by me Do you think that South Africa's decision to get rid of its nuclear weapons was a good idea, or a bad one? Its weird to think that Africa is one of the only continents to not have one, actually, its the only one isnt it?
