Serious posturing by the Russians, they do not want anti missile technology in Europe that they do not control.
Now we see the fruits of the Obama Doctrine: Peace through weakness.
Do you think they would have threatened a military strike on American and NATO installations if Ronald Reagan were President? Now that we have the panty-waist usurper and his retinue of kiss-asses, we need to get used to being pushed around!
A fine example of why a nation cannot negotiate from a position of weakness.
Obama has played into the hands of our enemies from his first day in office.
The Missle Defense Shield should have been constructed years ago.
The United States is seen, under this administration, as nothing more than a paper tiger.
EODGUY
The man has no military worth a damn and is merely blustering to sound important
Obama’s weakness gives our enemies balls.
Lessee....Putin was back seat driving until what a week ago, and now he’s jumped over the headrest back into the drivers seat.
Seems to me he is beating his chest, and flipping the wee birdie to the very weak Obama Administration. Sounds something like “reset this Community Organizer”.
Has it occurred to anyone that russian intelligence has concluded their agent obama won’t win reelection? They have to get what they can now.
C’mon dudeskis...obammy said if you’ll give him some flexability he’ll help y’all out after the election. Remember?
The operative word here is “threatens” The Russkies have been threatening to do this or that since I was in 3rd grade. They know they can push Barry around. Thats going to end in Nov when we throw him out on his ear. Mitt may not be my personal choice but I doubt he will bend to the Russians.
This is just one part of the “more flexability,” Obama was telling Medved to pass on to Putin.

This is like buying a bullet proof vest and putting it on and walking outside and your next door heighbor starts taking shots at you BECAUSE you are wearing a bulletproff desk....
I throw this out for what ever it is worth. Six months ago at a meeting, I made friends with two Russian Cosmonauts who were retired Colonels (the same military rank as I) were discussing our relative countries positions. After several bottles of wine, we were definite friends. All I can say is to solve the worlds problems, supply French Wine. This was at a meeting in Peru.
SO...
1.) China announces several years back that they had begun an economic war against the US.
2.) Russia has been threatening NATO in regards to missile defense sites in Europe.
3.) NATO is meeting in Chicago at McCormick Place on the Near South Side in 2 weeks.
4.) There are planned “military exercises” for the NEXT week/weekend involving Russian paratroopers using US weapons and armament to “take and hold” the CIA main computer building in CO, the NSA main computer building in Utah, as well as Denver International Airport. Add to that the Chinese DESTROYERS, SUBS, and HOSPITAL SHIP that are sailing across the Pacific at this moment?
Anyone else a little confused as to how our President or our military can justify holding joint military exercises with countries who are threatening our safety and stability, and that of the entire Western World?
This smells to high heaven, especially when you add in the ties between these countries and terrorists, Fast and Furious and the connection between cartels and terrorist cells, Obama’s insistence on NOT enforcing illegal immigration laws...
Am I alone in seeing this, or are others (esp. current or former military personnel) seeing how bad this may indeed be. I fear that Obama is enough of an idiot to LET Russia and China take over thinking they’ll let him have a piece of the pie or something.
In other words am I the ONLY one that doesn’t trust the Russians and Chinese to actually LET GO of those sites once they’re inside???
Russia, along with several other globalist entities including many American politicians and corporations, will not stand idly by and watch this once in a lifetime opportunity to “revolutionize” the world disappear.
The misery will not last very long - their wicked acts will come to an end.
...obama is America.
And the Russians have pretty much figured out obama...
For later
"the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the [20th] century" -Russian leader Vladimir Putin on the collapse of the Soviet Union...
"World democratic opinion has yet to realize the alarming implications of President Vladimir Putin's State of the Union speech on April 25, 2005, in which he said that the collapse of the Soviet Union represented the 'greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century.'

And the reason should-be, but apparently isn't, based on many freeper comments here, OBVIOUS: they, the ChiComs, Chavez and that nut case in Iran, *with Obama's hot and eager, fully cooperative help*, seek a "new world order" with a substantially weaker United States. Obama is PURPOSELY weakening our defenses and strengthening theirs.
They fear not being able to hit back on a first strike by the West.
Russia has been attacked by the majority of their friends and neighbors. They don’t feel “safe” without MAD being in place.
If you look at history, this has been a fear of theirs for 200 plus years.
I blame, almost entirely, this widespread ignorance on the subject of Russia on folks like Hannity and Limbaugh. They know so little on the subject that they’re apparently embarrassed to even go there.
