"Putin vows 'arms race' response"

[RA]

So we need an arms race.

China do have some very nice technology. When it comes to nuclear tech for instance they are quickly catching on and in some cases are even ahead of USA and Europe. They publish more papers in nanotech research than the US does. Stem cell treatments are already available in china, but that is mostly because of difference in regulation rather than more advanced science.

Its like I have been saying, the US and Europe isnt hungry for success anymore. Thats why China and India will fly right past us if we dont wake the **** up. They have grand visions for the future and the motivation to acomplish those visions. The avarage european or american only vision is to watch idol during the weekend.

So we need an arms race.

I would prefer a space race A arms race with MAD still in effect is just masturbation.
If it looks like china will be the first nation to put a flag on mars maby america will wake up

But if you guys have become as decadent as europe then we can forget about that.

I would as well. The problem is that the NASA budget hasnt been a priority for too long. We need something that would gin up some excitement for space exploration. I dont even know if China saying they were going to Mars first would do it or not.
