Many think that our political leadership doesn't get it. I think it would be more accurate to say they don't want to get it--GGG

Putin reminds me of Pakistans Musharraf... likes to act truculent and tough, because he knows that he doesnt have much say in anything anywhere.

Countries don't have friends, only interests.

Who ever said they were.
BTW "He boasts that the Russian missiles are unaffected by electromagnetic blasts used by current US anti-missile systems." Electromagnetic blasts? Not any current US anti-missle system I'm aware of.

History makes it painfully clear that nations know no "friends". All they ever can acheive is "alliances", which by and large are all too often quite temporary.

Then again, being that he IS the commander of Russian missile forces, he may be aware of more than yourself about American missiles.
More likely that its just blowhardishness though.

The Topols are just a distraction - with increased Russian export of oil and natural gas, we've been induced to shift more of our power plants away from coal, which has hit the coal industry and resulted in a
mine shaft gap, which we cannot allow.

Boy, good thing we gave the Soviets all that foreign aid after the wall came down.
/sarcasm
We should have let them bail themselves out of their century of Communist mismanagement.

<< Russia Is Not a Friend of the United States >>
And, although Australia and Israel come the closest to fitting the description, "friend," neither are Mexico, Canada, Cuba, once-great Britain, Germany and France, "friends."
The United States neither has nor needs "friends" among foreign states.
Nations don't in any case have "friendships" -- only self-interest-serving arrangements.

They are not our friends, and will never be. They will always be our enemy.

Not any current US anti-missle system I'm aware of.I wondered about that myself. What happens to the Topol missile when it runs into a big heavy sabot round at several thousand miles per hour?
