- Russia's Shadow Empire
  Posted by Billbar from Washington Post
  Since the Cold War ended, Russian leaders have built a shadow empire on the territories of Russia's sovereign neighbors, extending Russian power where it is unwarranted and unwelcome by sponsoring "frozen conflicts" in southeastern Europe and the South Caucasus.

U.S. to rely on Russia for manned spaceflight - International Herald Tribune

McCain denounced Russia as a KGB run state and has called to oust Russia from the G8. How will this partnership be affected if he gets voted in?

Communists are great !
Don’t you think the fight is perfectly similar with the Korean War in 1951 between China and America ?! Just a kind of self-protection. Much better than the invaders!
The real guy who needs to stay where they belong is the one who should GET AWAY FROM IRAQ right now !!!

Russia, Georgia troops battle on border

I imagine, in a more advanced VR environment, they might animate a different, less stressful outcome. Like they could animate a brightly colored spray of candy or presents instead of sharpnel and body parts parts strewn about the blast site. Maybe a little, "atta boy," or "outstanding" followed by canned cheering from a studio audience when a particularly good strike is executed.
This scenario of positively re-enforcing the kill could ease the pain of human slaughter and give a real sense of total accomplishment. The possibilities are endless. I wonder if drone pilots get better VA benefits than the rest of the "combat" vets do?
