US versus China for world position

The Economist summed it up pretty well: Russia had to get a deal done, and the Chinese got a favorable terms as a result. They’re hardly staunch allies, just global powers that share some, but not all agendas. I’m happy for the Chinese people that the country will burn less coal as a result.

The USAF and the RCAF/CFAC also had some nuclear-tipped air-to-air weapons in their inventories, such as the AIR-2 Genie.  Canada had them as late as 1984; they were carried by CF-101 Voodoo interceptors.  They were officially under US control, but they could be released for use by Canada as circumstances warranted.

In addition to the two big components of the nuclear triad that have already been mentioned – the land-based ballistic missiles and the manned SAC bombers – there was also the third component, the US Navy’s ballistic missile subs.  At the opposite end of the scale, the US nuclear inventory includes – if I’m not mistaken – man-portable nuclear demolition charges, designed for things like special commando-type operations.  I think a weapon of this type is featured in the 1977 motion picture thriller Twilight’s Last Gleaming.

I knew this was going to be Monty Python, but figured it would be from “And Now for Something Completely Different”.

I unlocked voting since this subject still has life.

Kinda like Americans buying t-shirts with Japanese symbols…

I liked the guy shopping for pink Camo for his wife.

They better be careful with the kid though.  If they buy him grey camo they may lose him in the rubble… :-D

Do they have child abuse/neglect laws in palestinian occcupied territories??

I find it funny how you understood and quoted the sentence.
Let me requote my interpretation which is differing by 100% from your view.

The Arab world has seethed whenever the United States used its U.N. veto – as it has done with frequency – to quash efforts to send international observers into the Palestinian territories or halt the construction of Israeli settlements.

I really wonder from where you took the Chuzpe to skip some important parts of the sentence.

Deviant:Scripter would it bother you if somebody praised Satan in a school speech bother you?? What gods should be allowed in school speeches?? Who decides what gods or religions can be talked about in public.

Hell yes it would bother me. :evil:

Why should I be forced to listen to some idiot preach to me?

Since when is MENTIONING the word “God” preaching?

preach - To advocate, especially to urge acceptance of or compliance with. (Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary)

Nobody is forcing you to accept or even to agree with it.

I knew it all along…Joey Bishop rules!
