While we are saying this:

"Russia and the United States are now self-described allies in their fight against global terrorism. Their first duty in this effort should be immediate and rapid bilateral nuclear disarmament, accompanied by the other six nuclear nations (France, Britain, China, India, Pakistan and Israel), along with U.N. Security Council action to ensure that no other nations -- particularly Iran and North Korea -- acquire nuclear weapons."

The Russians are saying this:

MOSCOW

Former commander of Russian Air Force, general Anatoly Kornukov calls Russian authorities to be tough in dealing with NATO aircrafts which would appear near Russian borders after Baltic countries" joining the alliance.

NATO gained seven new allies new Russian borders. "Because of NATO expanding we should apply tough policy, including tough measures to NATO aircrafts.

If an aircraft violated the state border, it must be shot down.

International law allows this", said general Kornukov who is currently Co-Chairman of the Expert Council on the Issues of Air and Space Defense, Interfax reported.

"To begin with, the Baltic states should be reminded that good-neighbor relations have nothing to do with military aircrafts barraging along the neighboring country borders. They are flying not just for pleasure, they are likely to be well-armed".

Meanwhile, Russian State Duma scheduled special meeting of the Security Council of Russia with the situation on Russian borders after the NATO expansion on the agenda, said Head of Duma Committee on International Relations Konstanin Kosachev.

He said that NATO had started "undertaking unfriendly step towards Russia".

"If the actions of this sort continue, and deployment of big number of NATO troops takes place near Russian borders, Russia should consider the opportunity of taking the measures of response to preserve the current balance of force in the region", Mr. Kosachev said.

Russia has always planned to shoot down any planes that cross the border, secretly and so does China.

Our 'peace' with russia, only meant that we gave them money for new weapons, while they sold off the older stuff to our enemies........there was never any real peace.

Of all the nuclear countries, only Israel will help the United States.

France is like a rabid dog and would love to pay us back for proving that we were a better country.
