>>Exactly! Although I'd hardly call THEM superpowers. The point I was making is that USA has never been known to attack a superpower. Just cos she attacked Iraq, and MAY attack Iran, doesn't mean she's also got it in for Russia. Why should she attack Russia - she's not an enemy. So why should Putin make such a bloody fuss?

Oh that's obvious, but last time it was Kruschev and "The Old Guard", men with bushy eyebrows, just getting over that b@stard Stalin, the world was in monochrome, all hands were sharpening their bayonets and staring balefully at each other across barbed-wire fences in Berlin, Russians ate raw potatoes for Sunday dinner, and a bag of chips (fries that is) cost 6d (£0.025).
