I'm talking about Yogoslavia. The Russians got so heated up back in 98 that they programmed all their missiles to aim at NATO countries, yet never had the guts to because they are not as powerful as they once were, before the US "saved them from harsh communism"[/b]
Are you saying they didn't have them aimed that way before '98?

Regardless... I personally don't think either the USSR or the US ever had the balls to fire them. At least not a first strike. They both might have done a hell of a lot of sabre rattling, but they weren't stupid. They knew the consequences.
