Ukraine opposition poisoned. War!

[BeFell]

Shouldn't it be determined who exactly poisened him before jumping to actions that will have severe consequences. For all we know his own people are poisining him just to make his opponet look bad.

Well, that's a side of the story I hadn't heard yet.

And for all we know, a member of the local government did it. Aren't they they the one's who denied for month's that Yushenko was poisoned?

Basically we don't know. But it occurs to me that if I wanted to ensure that those in power lost making it apear that they would do such an extrem thing would be very effective for campaining. If somebody wanted him dead wouldn't he more than likely be dead rather than just severely weakened.

But hey it could be the government the fact is I just want to be open to all possiblities until I see something conclusive.

I agree that finding out who did it should be the most important thing, and hopefully no one will jump to conclusions and do anything stupid. It would be like Vice President Cheney having President Bush assassinated and them him saying it was Iran, lets invade them.

The Russians did it.

It takes a great deal of money to have a cold war to build up arms. There is no way Russia could match our spending. That's how the Soviet Union fell.

It was the wife. She even admitted it. While she was playing tonsil hockey she sliped him the posion. She tasted posion but did nothing. BULLSHIT, she wanted the insurance money.

Maybe he was just doing drugs...

[Cleric]

Ain't that a bitch. I don't think that I could be much less suprised though. I mean, shit, if I was gonna lose, I would fight dirty too.

[bcdemon]

Oh come on, fighting dirty is one thing, in the big H for a few days, BOOM back on the campaign trail. But look at his face man, lol hes seriously altered!
Gonna take a few years atleast to clean that up.

Do you strive to be this retarded or does this come naturally? We'd actually need an opponent to have a Cold War. Just because Bush is a little trigger happy when it comes to foreign policy doesn't mean he's going to declare war on everything that moves. Take a history course, a civics lesson, anything. Just think before you type.

No, the Soviet Union fell because it was weak from within, because communism just doesn't work. It was nothing to do with the US.

There is no such thing as single causation in history. There were a number of factors that led to the downfall of the Soviet Union. You both listed good reasons as to why the USSR collapsed, but there are a number of other reasons as well, such as Glasnost, the failed war in Afghanistan, independence movements in the Eastern Bloc with Soviet inability to quell such nationalistic movements, the list goes on.
