Successful missile defense tests last night most likely triggered this. If you read the article all the way through, the last line says, “The Kremlin has also voiced concern over US plans to station part of a missile defence shield in Poland and the Czech Republic.”

The only positive is that the Russians won’t play patty cake with the Islamists the way the Western Europeans have.

Hey let the Euroweenies negotiate their safety. Good luck boys, but we've got our own issues to take care of. Hope you all enjoyed all of the extra welfare money you've had to throw around for the past 50 years while we spent our hard earned dollars to protect your ass.

Give the UN Security Council a call I'm sure the Chairman from Syria is anxiously awaiting your call!!!!!

Full agreement. Let Europe defend Europe for six decades, then give us a call.

People don’t want to see the truth reference Russia, that simple.

The Cold War is over, and many in Europe want this to say such, even as agents are dying, media is censored, firms are nationalized, their courts resemble kangaroo courts, Putin assumes near totalitarian power, bombers probe European air defense systems, people are executed by the KGB in London and elsewhere, new surface to surface nukes are developed and deployed...........

We can see in Georgia, the Ukraine, Russian actions reference Iran and Israel, their backing of dictators like in Belarus that their intentions are of the highest moral calling and 100% in line with our strategic goals. Let’s pretend all is OK.

All show. If they were going to suspend the treaty, they would just do it, not announce it. Probably already did long ago.

The Russians will let the Islamists overrun Western Europe in exchange for leaving Russia and its allies alone.

considering that we have moved nato further and further East into former Warsaw Pact and even former USSR areas, why would we expect them to do otherwise?

Europe needs our help for crying out-loud.

Let Harry Reid ( Exalted leader of al-Qaeda in USA ), surrender for them, and this problem can be over before tea time.

We are still paying off Russia to take their old nuke uranium etc off their hands and use it in our nuke reactors. Do we stop? No. We must continue to pay to remove this stuff because we know some general might just sell it. So now they do not have to worry about it, and can proceed to put the money we are giving them into new arms. Quite the pretzel.

Like selling a Hitler want-a-be Islamo-facist nut case a nuclear plant, and then providing diplomatic protection to the same in the Security Council?

Many in the russian army fled to germany and fought against russia in WWII. Maybe he thinks the army will leave and live under the defense umbrella that star wars is creating and fight against russia some day.
