Well,those missiles will do nothing to protect Poland from Russia. Only American troops, tanks and artillery along with air bases will do. (And some tactical nukes too.)

I don't like this term I am going to use but I can not think of a better one or a more proper one to describe what needs to happen to Russia. May be it should come a rejection of WTO which Russia badly wants and needs. May be it will come from getting removed from the G-8. What ever it is, Russia must understand that it just got “bitch slapped”. It must be stunning and very hard but must not shed blood. That would give them and “excuse” to again display their barbaric intentions.

I thought we were banned from using AP? That’s why my article got pulled a while ago.

AP is allowed again, but only as short excerpts. I further trimmed the article.

Thanks for giving us a quick answer.
To: MinorityRepublican
You're welcome.
BTW, if something needs quick attention, your best bet is an abuse report, even if there's no abuse. I just happened to be looking at this thread. Because of how things work back here, pings to mods can get lost in the shuffle.
