Defender_16

Drew this up just now, thought some of the people here might appreciate it. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/Massdrivertower.gif I had this idea a couple of years ago to use carbon nanotube assemblies to build a large massdriver to throw cargo into orbit. Humans would be put into orbit the old fassioned way on transfer vehicles. Instead of building the massdriver on a tower it would be suspended from concentric rings of super light nano-tube cable held aloft by Helium baloons. This is not a finished concept but the overall idea should be viable.

Russia is far more interested in secuing the Arctic Ocean than with anything to do with Alaska. *Drops another titanium encased flag into the ocean*

I was watching it left for awhile switched to right then couldnt switch back until I looked at the feet. EDIT: Dammit I keep getting stuck. I cant easily switch between watching one direction over the other.

Shantner negotiating at tazer point Two fighters against a Star Destroyer?!? EDIT: The ytmnd classic time traveler... and now, Proof of Time travel?

Actually we didnt bother with Turkey this year. Arg, but I've already heard about a million times now how the Germans came and took her brothers off to work in the factories and such. And her mother being arrested for hiding Jews and being held up at gunpoint when the germans came near the end of the war to take their horses but her Uncle had moved them all... She just went through the whole thing again 2 weeks ago from start to finish.

Belated happy Thanksgiving GAT. Oh man, we had to have my grandmother over for dinner. I was thankfull that she didnt start talking about the war again.

Sometimes I can struggle against it... Like now. I was going to post later but then forced myself with a great deal of intentional concentration to go post. THERE! Done! Now I dont have to do it later. *whew*

Post enough in one shot GAT? Nice one Tofu. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/Motivational/Piratesvsninja.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/Motivational/planbre4.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/Motivational/xp.jpg

The Monk one is from "Iron Monkey" or Siu nin Wong Fei Hung ji: Tit Ma Lau I saw it at a friends house one time. Basic Hong Kong wirework style martial arts movie.

Yeah I know the whole thing borders on conspiracy theory, and it IS a worst case scenario. You know the old saying though hope for the best, plan for the worst. I dont recall saying anything about Eastern European countries. I did refer to the (Far) EAST however. Yeah, most East European countries are entering into the EU. I just grouped them in with those and generally ignored them consentrating on Asia or the East.

As far as I know Mad, yes that Inquisitor is from the Warhammer 40k Universe regardless of what game pack it was actually from. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/Motivational/152378139_1d8d63594a_o.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/Motivational/10f6gig.jpg (Did I post this one before? I'm starting to lose track.)EDIT: No I hadn't. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/Motivational/trainwreck.jpg

Russia seems to have a history of one grand leader no matter what. There were the Tsar's then the likes of Stalin and noe Putin. There was this little bump in the 1990's with 'Democracy' but now they're back on course with what the Russians know. (They'll wait until something happens in Korea and then just let the North Fall while they take Taiwan. West wont be able to do a thing.)

Russia by herself isn't all that much of a threat. Hypothetical situation. Eastern Coalition vs NATO Since most countries involved in this Eastern coalition are essentially dictatorships short term unpopularity among their people due to Economic problems wouldn't worry the governments. (Dictatorships care about 1 thing; maintaining their government whatever the cost.) China Dumps their surplus of $1 Trillion US Dollars onto the world market, US economy collapses. China, Russia, Iran (+Venezuela) enforce an oil embargo against the Western world strangling their supplies within a very short period of time. This by itself would collapse most of the western economy. Since so much of the US Strateigic oil reserves have been opened to the public over the past few years in efforts to keep gas prices down, the military would be severly lacking needed fuel. Military options after that are up to how NATO responds. The US has always said that they will never use Nukes first. Against this coaltion NATO now has nearly no chance of winning a straight up conventional war. The US has hardly any production capability left that could be converted to war time use like in WW2 because most of it is in China now. This is the sort of way the next World War would operate. Who ends up using nukes first? The East isnt going to, they can win just with tanks and man power. Jane's take on this axis as of 2005 Shanghai Cooperation Organization - Wiki I've been studying this ever since I came back from my trip to China. North Korea is unimportant overall, it's just a distraction to be used to keep the west busy at some point. Source Watch. Cant say I've ever heard of this site before but they do list their sources.

Eh? What happened to my Uber long post?

You guys just realised we're in the Second Cold War? Thought I'd said something about that towards the end of August. (That or I might have forgotten.)
