USA launches new arms race and prepares to wage war against Russia
America needs a very strong army to be prepared for possible threats in the future. Russia is one of those “future threats,” the new Pentagon head Roberts Gates said. “We need a full set of measures to conduct a war, including both special military units necessary for war against terrorists and infantry troops to be able to fight against large regular armies. We do not know what changes can take place in such countries as Russia, China, North Korea, Iran and

George W. Bush labeled Iran, Iraq and North Korea as “axis of evil” in January 2002. Five years later, when Saddam Hussein’s regime no longer exists, the US administration is still concerned about possible enemies. Moreover, Russia and China have been included on the list of potential unpredictable rivals for the USA, in the same line with North Korea and Iran. Unlike the previous potential enemies, the new ones possess large armies.

Does it mean that the USA is getting ready for an armed conflict with Russia and China – two huge countries that have nuclear weapons at their disposal? Russian military specialists believe that Gates publicly declared the USA’s intention to stand in an opposition with Russia and China. “Robert Gates specified USA’s potential enemies. His speech has most likely been coordinated with the White House and therefore mirrors the official stance of the US administration,” retired colonel-general Eduard Vorobyov told the Vremya Novostei newspaper.

1. It is little wonder there is so much resistance to
"paygo" since the plans for military muscular wet dreams are so attractive.
Any country which chooses to advance any more money to the US at this point is asking to become a slave state.

We've managed to piss off China, Russia, Japan and Venezuela so there is little available cash out there and this idiot government has voluntarily abandoned any notion of raising real money in this country, so perhaps the problem is self limiting.
