Hope this will not happen, but if....

And one more thing... about possibility WW3

Russia, Ukraine and Belorusia have "one nation" and the same people in general.

These countries will protect each other from any enemy invasion forever!

All americans should approach to the world history to see that slavic people(russian, ukrainian, belorusian, kazahstanian -almost all exUSSR) have the native feeling of patriotism from born and heroism "in blood".

We can all die during fighting but we NEVER allow anyone to invade our Homeland! NEVER!

So dirty goverments and bank barons would better keep out their dirty hands from us....

Future

Three exUSSR counries: Russia, Ukraine and Belorusia have the best economic potential in world today.

Even in situation with the world financial crisis, these countries are ones of the most stable and independent from it.

When these countries coalesce -the new State will be the famous and strongest in the world.

And this will happen very soon.....

Another Bush disaster.

Greetings,

Russia has been voicing their anger over NATO and the missile system for years. Condi Rice failed to respect Russian

concerns. Today Russian bombers arrived in Venezuela.

Bush is responsible for undoing the work of Reagan and his

father. All of this was avoidable but this administration continues with it willful ignorance.

McCain will no doubt continue the OLD GUARD mentality.
