Point/Counterpoint: The Red Threat
![russia ivan drago hockey](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9QlvGi47oYxjJoLKQmOf3u5PgpQNWpZ-i8vJtVYRMBI47ghaMob6pJE8xw-9OlyGAy1TmrLe3amKJRacKtXu8E7NBiYiByPdAXJXKRN3hoAXi7l1A_4L3LIfWpglhnxcKblsxM6OwwTQ/s400/ivan_drago_justice.jpg)
It’s time to introduce a new segment here at 5 Minutes For Fighting. We’re calling this Point/Counterpoint (What? 60 Minutes already has that? Who cares about that two-bit operation, it'll never catch on). We’ll have a debate on certain subjects. Sometimes the debate will be between Rick and I (hopefully these don’t descend into me calling him stupid for all my counterpoints) and other times we’ll have special guests on to give their opinions. This time the point/counter-point will feature only myself. This is because I’m having an internal battle over one topic of importance: Russia’s vast superiority at the 2010 Olympics. One side of me is examining their team rationally and finding overwhelming evidence to suggest they will cake-walk to the gold medal. The other side of me is desperately grasping at any sort of counter argument to this. My Canadian patriotism is taking over. I’m about ready to go Joseph McCarthy on everybody’s ass. Ring the bell.
