You'll get a kick out of this one.
Right, Ivan. I believe you.
"Soon we'll be outsourcing the government?"
Hopefully. And then we can cancel the contract! :)
Right, Ivan. I believe you.==
I'm sorry if I sound too harsh.
I just try to emphisize difference between weapon prolifiration and civilian nuclier cooperation.
Some people wnat that there won't be no neither first nor second. SO they delibarately confuse others by mixing first and second together.
I agree that first is forbidden and unlawful but second is allowed under surveilance and then lawful.
Yes, ladies and gents, we are still a "super-power", sure we are. We can't even run our own national space shuttles and almost couldn't bring one back.
I agree with you on the first part but on the second, they've had 5 military exercises with us this year and next year we are having a military exercise with them outside of Moscow. We, by the way, also have military liasons with China and are trying to sinch a port deal in Saigon...er Hochiman City.

But we still make really, really cool space movies.
Worst case is they'll move overseas and work for the Russians. Already know of some US IT engineers/developers moving to China and India and Russia to work there. It's called brain drain. We did it to Europe for 50 years, now we're doing it to ourselves.
Couldn't be fast enough. If we outsource our Government, we could cut the budget in 1/2.
True, Russia has sold them a blue water navy (still two decades behind ours) while rearming itself, S.Korea, India, Vietnam, Indonesia, Khazakstan for a ground war with China and offerring subs to Taiwan. Further, they had exercises with us, Britian, Japan and S.Korea near the Yellow Sea last year. They have no choice but to play nice with the 1,000 lb dragon while the bear and every other critter in the neighborhood sharpens its claws.
