America Needs To Reignite Cold War Now!

When I was a kid the Russians were our enemies. Things were better back then. Maybe we should get back to those good old days? Nothing wrong with that. The Russians have taken over the better part of America by now, why can't we start up with them now...in the interests of...economic necessity!

I think it's a fair trade. They have exported millions of...Russians...to the U.S....and in return...we get to use them as...enemies...to get everything back in line and start this country moving again. Russian hawks? Have they got planes? Do they serve drinks up there? I hear they pound down those vodkas like nobody's business. We never had anything to worry about, even in the fifties. Screw 'em. Here's a war we can win. Without Rambo.

Who's with me?!? Come on!! Commies. Who's afraid of a little action? YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

Debate in the Senate over President Barack Obama's strategic nuclear arms treaty with Russia grew increasingly testy on Monday but the White House expressed confidence lawmakers would approve the accord before their Christmas break.

Republican senators pushed for passage of a series of amendments in an effort to kill the New START nuclear arms treaty by forcing a renegotiation with Russia. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned in an interview with Interfax that any amendment would be a deal-breaker.

The treaty, which would cut deployed strategic atomic weapons to 1,550 for each side within seven years, is one of President Barack Obama's top priorities for the current legislative session. The White House said the president was calling senators to line up support.

The agreement, signed by Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in April, is a centerpiece of the U.S. leader's bid to "re-set" relations with Russia, whose assistance Washington has recently sought on issues ranging from Iran's nuclear program to Afghanistan.

Analysts say Senate rejection of the treaty would be a major blow to warming ties between the two countries, leading the Kremlin to question Obama's ability to deliver on major bilateral issues and giving ammunition to Russian hawks who oppose the thaw in relations with Washington.
