>> Then you're judging things wrong. China and Russia, though they have more nuclear weapons are less of a threat due to the nature of their governments and cultures. There is an element of rationality there. Pakistan may be a serious threat soon due to the weakness of their government. Iran's government, if it had a nuclear weapon today, might well use it tomorrow. Literally. They're the biggest danger in the world today. Unpredictable irrational fanatics who belong to a type of Islam which can be accurately called a doomsday cult.<< Putin and Medvedev seem lke sociopaths to me and have becoem incressingly dangerous the last decae as they consolidtated their power into a dictatorship , so they remain very dangerous. What do we do if China invades Taiwan? Pakistan is really danggerous as you say. Iran does not have the missle capacity to threaten us. Between Israel, Japan and us, our anti missle systems would take care of anything they could mount; and If they tried we would destroy the entire country. Europe has more to fear from Iran and Iraq. The are in missle distance. So I have always felt, let them spend their military and money. Why us? We are doing Europes fighting for them using our military and money which is dumb of us IMO. We need to keep an eye on russia and china and Pakistan.
