Oct 8, 2008 - Politics? Nah, its just that we like to show our respect for those who fell and those who lived through the greatest struggle in human history. Plus everyone gets a day off from work.

Oct 8, 2008 - Well I am saying politics is the main reason we don't do annual victory parades over here in the United States. The crazy far-left crowd would whine and complain.The Russian Victory Day parade (among others) does double as a show of their military and best equipment however. That is not a bad thing however.

Oct 8, 2008 - hahaha, yea, until your dollar finally collapses [already started] and you run out of oilRussia has more reserves than anyone else at this point.The russions stopped you from going into Iran, and the Iraqi's are bleeding you economy dry as you try to take their oil....
ReconTeam111 Says:
Oct 8, 2008 - The dollar is not going to collapse. The value of the dollar like any currency is bound to rise and decline at different points.Canada has plenty of oil and sells to us, we are developing ways to use less, and we still get some oil from within our country. Plus we have some friends in Eastern Europe who sell to us.We do have some of the world's highest coal reserves too.

Oct 8, 2008 - The Americans huge nuclear warheaded missiles were built by a workforce of 2/3's Chinese Scientists, who then went home and built the same ones for them. The Americans didn't bargined on that. but they can't cry down the Chinese ones They are the same! and they have 13 Dong Feng 2 Nuclear Submarines undetectable around the worlds oceans, which could destroy any continent entirely. can't knock America militarilly they are still no 1, but nobody is going to attack China, if they do, it's the end.
