Russian says shield makes Poland target

I am sure that piece of paper Condi is toting around will really insure the ruskies tyrants will leave, Right! I have yet to see a piece of paper accomplish anything if not backed up by force of arms, most especially when dealing with murderous tyrants and communist, same same.

anyone who doesn't understand Russia's reaction to putting missiles around her borders has only to remember the American reaction to Russian missiles in Cuba. this so called new move to place missiles in Poland is not new and Georgia is only a excuse for those in this country who benefit from our 500 billion dollar military expenditure and hope to increase it. this in the face of our domestic economic problems is unbelievable, unless one considers that there are some people who will do anything for money and power; we have our fair share of them in America. see major general electric for new proposed troop deployments. http://www.saintpeterii.com

Casting a shadow over this crisis is the issue of NATO expansion. During the collapse of the Soviet Union, George H. W. Bush promised Mikhail Gorbachev that there would be no expansion of the military alliance. Of course, that promise was broken by Bush’s successors who have pushed NATO right up to Russia’s doorstep. Most in the West have viewed this expansion as a benign development but the Russians have always taken a malevolent view of it and are just now pushing back.

This invasion and war is payback for Clinton's bombing and invasion of Kosovo. Recently, Bush approved of the political separation of Kosovo as a muslim state. Well, so as ye sow, so ye shall reap. Payback for our muscle in Kosovo

I am sure that ere long, we will see the same approach to security that stabbed Poland in the back and destroyed the officer corps and political establishment of Poland in the Katyn Forest being brandished again. When former Apparatchiks take the reins of power as Prime Minister or President, why should one expect any different results that occurred under Stalin and Lenin? The preservation of control is the only primacy of that group of individuals, in much the same way that the Democrat party tries to exercise control in the persons of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

Peter, there is a huge difference between the missiles in Cuba and the sheild in Poland. In Cuba there were nuclear warheads, in Poland there are no warheads. Missile defense simply means launching a rocket to collide with the incomming ordinance, hopefully high above the athmosphere. Poland has every right to defend against its usual aggressor. Russia has many times reaped war on Poland. It doesn't mean Poland should be in NATO though either.

Russia's recent actions prove the need for the missile shield.

Yeah, No sh*t, Sherlock. So Poland is a target--even for nukes? THAT IS WHY THEY NEED THE SHIELD, DUMMIES. Russia just tipped its hand. I think Medvedev and Putin are like most Rusky leaders,they are deep, deep into the Vodka cabinet. If Russia claims to have a right to shoot missiles at Poland, a member of NATO, then all of Europe becomes a target. That's not a smart move on Russia's part. However, what the Russians are really hoping for is to hold all of Europe hostage to its energy monopoly and so control it. That is why, for strategic purposes above all, the West needs to develop alternative energies and to phase out of imported oil entirely by 2015.

Another backwards step by a backwards administration. Thanks W! We have a lot of work to do to boot this bad president and his crew out. Then we will have more work to do to see that the next POTUS changes things.

Perhaps the military in Georgia could learn something from history. Adolph Hitler marched across Europe with little or no opposition. Yet, he did not invade the Swiss. The Russian military is big on muscle but short on brains. Some things never change.
