Yup, our friend Putin wishes to develop even deadlier nuclear arms just for the fun of it; his excuse, somehow similar to Bush’s reason to invade Irak is because of the _ **terrorist threat** _ (in chechnya, so someone’s got to help me understand how having super H-bombs will help)…

I am tired of politicians using fear as a way to instore whatever the hell they want. Feelings should not juggle with politics.

I don’t know what to debate about, whether it is about this new arsenal that will shorten earth’s life expectancy, or the way or friends the politicians play with feelings to get things done (ie the terrorist threat) or maybe an aftermath of the coldwar… Just want to know if people are fed up the way I am…
