    Intresting Thing I Heard

    Now we all know how one little thing can trigger a world conflict (WWI) but I heard something today and it brought back the idea of the cold war/WWIII.

    If you didn't know Iceland is going bankrupt. Russia was one of the countries that Iceland is in talks with for a loan. Now hypothetically, because of the government backing these banks and allowing Iceland to make all these loans that now have backfired completely, could a change in government be possible? Of course. The thing that would be interesting is if that Russia could somehow gain some influence over Iceland because of the loan that would bailout Iceland. An alliance with Iceland and Russia would eliminate the SDI and tensions could build back up because we all know that Hitler showed that the Atlantic Ocean is fairly easy to travel across, and like I said SDI would be pretty much worthless because Russia could strike from Iceland. I could see this as a possibility if Russia bails out Iceland.

    What do you guys think?

    No matter how bad the situation, never - and I repeat NEVER ask for a loan from Russia.

        Sounds like the genesis for a Tom Clancy novel. Actually what you theorize isn't too far fetched. Over the last couple years Russia has been sabre rattling about the potential North Pole ocean that will eventually emerge because of global warming. Canada maintains that it's their territory but Russia has been spotted around the area a few times even leading to some government action on Canada's part.

        it's still remote but a crafty politician/demogogue could certainly manipulate events to his advantage.

          What strategic need would Russia have in attacking the U.S? They have more oil, natural resources and just about everything else than we do....doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

                  Russia has plenty of those. But they do like fat chicks, so maybe they can take Rosie O'Donnell off our hands.

                    Well then, no need to invade.

                    I'm sure plenty of people would happily package her up and send her over to our vodka loving pals.
