Cough... Korea....Cough...Vietnam...Cough...Malaya...Cough. ..Hungary...Afghanistan...Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Cuba, Lebanon, Angola, Congo, Romania, etc. etc. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conflicts_related_to_the_Cold_War

Yeah much more stable.

Still, relations between the two big powers were more predictable, and each side knew when to pull back and when not trying to press in the other side's backyard. The Russians tried it once on Cuba, and never again. The Americans never tried to establoish themselves in one of the USSR's European satellites, like they tried in the Ukraine these days, did in fact by pushing NATO eastward, and t5rying to get a stro9ng own foothold in the Caucasus region (Georgia). Afria and SE Asia where not really relevant side areans. The loss in Vietnam in no way was a strategic defeat and damage to the US than the later war in Iraq 2003 and the notorious misperception of the ME situation(s) in the past couple of decades.

BTW, my reply to Jim was meant as a joke, but maybe German humour indeed is... difficult... But the original joke that I copied it from I have stolen from Craig's third Bond-movie anyway.

That makes your quarrel an issue with the British, I think.

Interesting news outlet, mapuc, at least that is the first impression. Neve rheard of it, but investugating the site via your link gave me plenty of interesting stories. I have set up another link from them in the tax-thread.

Looks like the tensions will be ratcheting up a bit more...

About 600 US troops are going to Poland and three Baltic states Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia to take part in military exercises.

That's it then...game set and match

That's about all 600 divided among four nations will be good for.

Been searching for an English link to an Swedish article, I couldn't find it

So here's the Swedish article translated through Google Translate

"Russia sharpens rhetoric

An attack on Russian citizens is a
attack on Russia. said Russian
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov today
to the news site Russia Today.

Lavrov also said that Russia will
strike back if the Russian people
interests are threatened. According to Lavrov, there are
no reason not to believe
U.S. drives the development in Ukraine.

Lavrov pointed out that U.S. Vice President
Joe Biden visits Kiev while
Ukraine's government decided "restart"
the military campaign against the pro-Russian
separatists in the east of the country"

NATO jets have been scrambled to intercept and escort 'Russian bomber planes' in the North Sea. Aircraft from Denmark, Holland and the UK were involved.

This is my own old post 573, from this thread

" ...
It is about the harbours Sevastopol and Tatus and how the west tried to capture them,

it is about a new stock exchange in St. Petersburg, where oil and gas are now being traded in Rubel, and Yueang. It is about breaking a monopoly.

Whoever has tried to trade this in anything else than Dollars, ran into ... problems ..."

... and ended up on the US rogue state list. But Russia is not Venezuela or Iran

I see the U.S. will provide financial aid to Ukraine if the leaders confront corruption.

Because if anything stops corruption, it's bribing someone to stop corruption.
