Both of the first two are more likely, but I doubt they are actually trying to start a war, just seeing how strong defences are when pushed for future reference. |

I dunno, if they were to start a war in that manner, America would come across as the villain, so even if Russia was to lose the war, which personally I don't think is very likely, America would be even more hated worldwide, so the chances of terrorist attacks and foreign invasion are pushed way up. It's like a game of chess, you have these little plans that may well fail, but when they fail, it simply forms the bridge for the bigger plan. |

Maybe, or perhaps they want to see how aggressive the Obama government actually is? Afterall, he said something about nuclear disarmament.... |

A theory that I just came up with is based on the idea that the bombers are retracing old Cold War flight paths. The Russians are not only sending planes over to Canada, it's submarines and small warships. It is possible that they aren't trying to provoke the American government in any way, and in fact, during the Cold War, they lost a transport, either a cargo plane or ship, and they're trying to find it again. Chances are, the bombers have been repurposed to carry sensory equipment, and the same with the old submarines and warships. |

Well I doubt Russia's trying to start WW3 as it's not exactly a superpower any more. I doubt it would have the money/firearms to, especially against America. Of course it could just be the media's making a huge fuss over this because it's Russia. |

Don't underestimate the Russians. There are many things we don't know about them. I bet you didn't know about the V.L.A.D. It's a giant robot they have under Moscow.

Like I said earlier, I doubt they want war, but like any nation, they might want to know how the new govenment reacts in such situations. Agreed with Loz on the media front, though. BTW, we have 4 voters. Assuming Con voted for the top one, me, Loz and whoever it is went for second. Is it Billy or Kez or what? Edited by King Crimson, Mar 2 2009, 05:59 PM.

I'm going to assume it's Billy. Kez hasn't shown up around Iacon for a while. |
