It's pretty well known that Russia was involved in selling nuclear missiles in the black market during the 90's due to their economic plight

I'll like to see something supporting this 'fact' if you can find it... i think one of the reasons why the US and the Worldbank 'loaned' them billions of dollars was so that they didn't do that. And i doubt they would have, there is just as great a chance of somebody using those same nukes on them than on anybody else.

If you feel scared where you live, why don't you move to South Dakota or Wyoming. Afterall, it's pretty pointless to bomb a place like that.

LOL. Right, lemme just go to cnn.com and find the article for you. Jeez!

This is not a "fact", but was a fear for some time. I don't recall the exact place or moment in time when I heard about these Russian nuclear sales, but it is well known (for people who pay attention to these types of things) that it was once feared that Russia might have been selling off a lot of powerful weapon technology (including nuclear armed missles) to other countries.

i think one of the reasons why the US and the Worldbank 'loaned' them billions of dollars was so that they didn't do that.

Now lets see you find an article proving that statement Moralpanic. lol.

And i doubt they would have, there is just as great a chance of somebody using those same nukes on them than on anybody else.

LOL. "Just as great of a chance of somebody using those same nukes on them", where's the logic or proof to back up that statement.

Fear is the goal of Terrorism.. if it works they will continue. Defy them by being strong. Fear is a natural human feeling, nothing wrong with it. Just dont let it get the best of you. Your family and your country needs you now more than ever...stand tall for them and defeat the enemy with calm, inteligent thinking.

They have nuclear missile silos in those places.

And I completely agree, the goals of these sick people is to instill fear into americans... the best you can do is help out by like, giving blood or money or whatever and otherwise living life as you would normally... that is the greatest blow you can deliver on these terrorists. They don't like America. They want america to change. And if you change, then the terrorists are one step closer.

I'm not denying the fact that there could have been a black market for it, and some stuff might have been smuggled out, but you stated: "It's pretty well known that Russia was involved in selling nuclear missiles in the black market during the 90's due to their economic plight." And i'm saying that Russia didn't do that, there may have been some rogue scientists or the Russian mafia involved, but Russia itself wouldn't have done such a thing.

Where, here's my evidence:



<< Securing and reducing nuclear materials stockpiles. By far the biggest source of income for Russia's nuclear complex from U.S. programs is the uranium purchase agreement. This arrangement reduces stocks of weapons-usable material, provides a valuable commercial product to the United States, provides hard currency for Russia, and gives an economic incentive to continue dismantling nuclear weapons-all at virtually no net cost to the U.S. taxpayer, because the purchase price is recouped by selling the blended-down material on the commercial market. >>



Link for that: Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists



LOL. "Just as great of a chance of somebody using those same nukes on them", where's the logic or proof to back up that statement.


The logic can be seen by the Chechyna war... and the Russian hesistant for entering the war with the US against Afghanistan. There's no 'proof' to back this up, it's just a dialectic argument... the more nukes there are out there, especially if they start selling them randomly to nations around Russia, it's just reasonable to assume the greater the chance of somebody using it. The Russians have already been fighting their own terrorist war for the past several years.

It sounds like you have been terrorized. It doesn't feel to good,does it? And they haven't touched so much as a hair on your head.

I hope this angers you enough to stand up to that feeling and face it with courage and conviction that the terrorists will not succeed. Your breatheren will be there to hold you up and bolster your confidence. We can beat these bastards as long as we stand together.

It is not likely you will die soon. I think the world will take these fools out soon enough.
