C'mon now, what kind of IDIOTS do the MEDIA take us for?

EVERYONE knows darn well that Russia and China
have held a SERIOUS, deep-rooted
HATRED for each other for centuries...
Whatever limited "cooperation" they have occasionally shared
was always a thin front for the mutual exchange of spies.

The very NOTION that they would
ever conduct "joint military maneuvers" is preposterous.
Ridiculous and ludicrous...a very SILLY notion indeed!

Why, in order for either nation to even CONSIDER such a proposal,
they would BOTH need to be quaking in their boots in fear of some
SHARED threat.

And certainly, no threat the world has EVER seen would suffice.
(They BOTH fought the Nazis and Japan in WWII...
without EVER uttering a SINGLE kind word for each other.)

ANY cooperation would require a THREAT of unprecedented proportions!

Something along the lines of, say...
...A deranged madman (and his Armageddon-seeking followers)
gaining simultaneous control of the world's most advanced military forces
AND thousands of nuclear weapons.

Even then, said "madman" would need to PROVE his insanity beyond any doubt!
Perhaps by: ABOLISHING "due process" in his own nation,
and fostering a fascist, pro-death, neoMilitary "cult of personality"...

INVADING small, helpless nations for profit;
Dropping napalm and cluster-bombs on civilians,
while poisoning their air and soil FOREVER
with millions of pounds of depleted uranium...

It would take a crazy "Bond-Movie Villian" like that
to make China and Russia agree on ANYTHING!

And hey, SERIOUSLY now:
Ask yourself: What are the ODDS
of something so TOTALLY BATSHIT INSANE ever happening in real life?

Oh, wait.......NEVER MIND.

8. EEEEEEEK!!!

I'm not surprised at all; the only hting that surprises me is how long it's taken for the rest of the world to start banding together in self-defense...
If we could only get the Dubya back on his medications and lull him to sleep... he does SO much less terrible damage to the world when he's sleeping...
