Maybe it could get worse for Russia. Intercepters could also pop up in Georgia.

This paper describes the missile shield as a defense against a limited Russian ICBM salvo following a first strike by the U.S. http://www.foreignaffairs.org/20060301faessay85204/keir-a-lieber-daryl-g-press/the-rise-of-u-s-nuclear-primacy.html

Putin underscored that Russian experts see the US plans as a threat to Moscow, although they are being projected as an anti-terror measure and to counter strikes by Iran and North Korea.

But.....but........I thought Putin was our friend. I thought his soul was pure. LOL

[Mr. Silverback]

Now, imagine for a moment the uproar that would occur if ussia was building a missile shield to protect themselves from iran and President Bush said, "Well, I'm going to make sure we build a missile designed just to get around that, so we can still nuke Russian cities any time we want."

As pure as 100% polonium.:-)

Putin is just going native for domestic consumption. It is all jive.

Re #10

In a Bloomberg report, Putin is said to mention asymmetric response. I am not so sure it is all jive. Military would certainly worry about it.

Yep.....just about THAT pure. LOL :o)

[Thunder90]

What is the CFR smoking??? Russia has many more nukes than the US, and has its own missile defense system.

Ever heard of the Scalar Inferometer Beam Weapon as alluded to by DefSec Cohen in the 1990s?

Ping.

Most of oil and natural gas used in eastern Europe comes from Russia. As far as Ukraine is concerned the number hovers around 90%. In Poland a lot of paper was used to argue for the need of diversification, but nothing was done so far, despite the fact, that on 2 or 3 occasions Russians withhold delivery without warning. Taking all this into account I can't find any rationale behind US government action. What's the point in building part of military infractucture in countries almost totally energy dependent on Russia, that is turning more and more hostile towards US? In my judgment the problem of dependency on Russian energy sources should be solved first.
And for the benefit of those that didn't followed what's going on in Russia. The state's control of strategic resources and using them as political leverage is part of Putin's doctrine.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Pootie's going to rebuff?

Not wax and polish first?

As if getting bankrupted by the U.S. wasn't enough the first time around.

It is not true. Accually Russian goverment just stopped the rotten practice to give the discounts to those trasit countries. The transit countries objected and THEY not Russia stopped throu put to Poland and EU. Anyways today Putin compelled those countries pay the full price.
