Russia showed off its military might at a parade in Red Square.
See here for news coverage that you probably won't see in detail on American news.
Russia has a new president: Dimitry Medvedev, whose name looks so much like Dmitri Mendeleev, who you may have remembered in your high school chemistry text as the father of the periodic table.
The new president wants to show the world that they are still a military power: don't mess with them.
I don't remember ever seeing military parade from the United States. Perhaps there is no space in Washington DC? I am sure we have even bigger bombs than those used in Hiroshima.
China is also building its military. When interviewed by news reporters, they always say "we're not even close to YOUR military spending."
Military buildup is building up unstatbility in world peace: almost like building more pieces of Jenga tower.
Myanmar is refusing UN's humilitarian help effort, and the United States is merely providing pocket change of a few millions in this effort.
Is UN going to be able to help resolve world conflicts or will be as hapless as the League of Nations?
Please remember the twisted gun at the UN headquarters. The world needs progress, not another world conflict.
It is more than a mere ornanment.
