greg1917 Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 granted this isnt exactly current affairs but ive always been interested in it none the less. The Americans on the forum will probably view this differently but when the Soviet Union put missle bases on Communist Cuba, how was the American backlash justified considering they had Nuclear bases in Turkey on the Soviet border and always had nuke armed planes in the air over europe 24 hours a day for the best part of half a century. My dad remembers living near an air base in England and seeing two planes with big ass bombs strapped to their fuselages take off whenever another two landed, screaming down the runway. Im a bit of a socialist myself and I dont want to incur the wrath of the Western hemisphere but if America invades soveriegn Cuban airpsace they cant really complain if spy planes are shot down. Any thoughts? Russia had a right to protect itself from an American pre emptive nuclear strike as well as vice versa. I suppose the current war situation made me think about past conflicts and past solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atinymonkey Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 I'm just worried about these Ass Bombs that your dad remembers. Are they covered by the Geneva convention? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1917 Posted March 5, 2003 Author Share Posted March 5, 2003 No they arent covered by the Geneva convention, they constitiuted of a large rectum inside a transparent plastic sphere. By dropping them they implode thus warping rectum-space, its a relativistic effect. the resulting shock wave would have a laxative effective, the power of which varies as 1/(r^2) from ground zero. scary stuff, especially if youve eaten dumplings recently.

DocBill Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 I recall everyone beigh uptight. The Russians and their socialist moutjing off (a bit like the Hilderbeast a few years ago). Everyone wondering what to do..do we allow this? We can't..can we stop it? but how. who makes the call..will it be political suicide? will it be genecide if we don't? I am glad it happened, as it showed the world that what Admiral Tojo exclaimed after 1941 "We have Awakened the sleeping giant." Cuba almost was stepped on. Bill PS: I love the looks of a map of the US. Look at florida....what's it look like to you? Looks to me like we are pissing in Cuba.:lastyear: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
