Eftfnc,Lindsey Williams does raise some interesting scenarios.It was only recently that I was questioning the functions and power of the World Bank with a friend.I agree, there is no world energy crisis,nor likely is there a Global warming crisis,since both scenarios enable the powers that be,to control us more.

Interesting to note that Losing Alaska to Russia poses a threat in terms of ICBM range (tactical threats as well).

Good to see Europe (base of a vast number of American forces) is no where near Russia (oops did I make an error there?)

Cuba <I won't stand for this! I am a Bin Liner!>. Look up missiles in Turkey. (also refer france etc).

Flogging Alaska to the Russians would

A:- make the alaskan wildlife nervous
B:- provide America with potentially a good bonus <<though the deal would inevitably go way out of whack either way based on historical precedent {you guve us snow, we'll pay you a couple of bucks} or {here's 10 yearns GDP, give us some snow}
C:- Confuse the world as the impact wouldn't be felt by anyone other than cartographers.

I wonder how VAST these American forces in Europe are?

Outside Germany, there are roughly 30,000 American troops across ALL of Europe. The combined forces of NATO are around 1.5 million, about the same size as the Russian Forces.

Actually I have but one last question.Hu is Putin Bush to the Torch?
Ans.It is Bush himself.The Merrycans have wrought more destruction on themselves than all the terrorists on the planet.The enemy always comes from within.
