Western Europe depends on Russia for oil. It's sickening, but that's life.

Considering Poland was threatened with nuclear attack; they proved their test of courage -- once again. We would be penny wise and pound foolish to skimp on military equipment/training. Sure, we'd save a little money now. People need to ask themselves what the cost would be if Russia keeps expanding before we do anything. They'll suck Europe's blood like a vampire, grow strong, and then where will we be?

There will only be the pathetic hope that Russia and China might be rivals. If not, the world will be in greater danger than when the Axis Powers were united in WWII.

“Considering Poland was threatened with nuclear attack; they proved their test of courage — once again”

This was just some rather aggressive political posturing, though it is only going to inflame the domino-chain of events in eastern europe. Obviously, if Poland places strategic assets like anti-missile stuff in their country, they can assume they are on the nuke target list. Does anyone think the polish leadership didn’t understand this?

What no-one seems to be able to say is that if events reach the point where poland is getting a nuke sent at it, we are already at world war three (or, as said in Wargames, Global Thermonuclear War) and maybe posters should consider the broader picture (unless you live in poland).

Events in russia/eastern europe now are proceeding at an alarming pace. The crimean black sea naval port seems the likely next flash point.
