Uh huh. Could you possibly cite something where the Russians have made
these "intentions" clear in some recent statement? I thought that sort
rhetoric went out in the 1960's. I suppose that you could argue
that those communist fiends are thinking this all the time but won't
be silly enough to say it. I don't think thats a terribly convincing
view. There is a big gap between Leninist/Marxist theory and practice
in the USSR, and I believe they know that very well. Could you bring
yourself to believe that they might have changed in the last twenty
years? I'm afraid that citing what "many people believe" doesn't do
your argument much good...
