Russia Warns of New Missile Deployment (After the US Election)
The New York Times ^ | 2008-11-05 | Ellen Barry and Sophia Kishkovsky

MOSCOW — In a wide-ranging attack on the United States as it elected a new president, the Russian leader Dmitri Medvedev warned on Wednesday that Moscow might deploy short-range missiles in the Baltic enclave of Kaliningrad to counter a perceived threat from a proposed American missile defense shield in eastern Europe.

His remarks, in his first state of the nation address since assuming the presidency in May, coincided with the election of Barack Obama and offered a chill glimpse into the potential issues and tensions confronting the new American leader when he takes office in January.

Mr. Medvedev did not specifically congratulate Mr. Obama on his victory, saying only that he hoped that “our partners _ the new U.S. administration _ will make a choice in favor of full-fledged relationship with Russia.”

At the same time, however, he spoke of a “new configuration for the military forces of our country” that would include abandoning plans to dismantle some missile regiments.

Well, to honor the laws one must respect others votes. Obama is the “choice” the Average American made. They wanted change, they got it.

Obama is a straw target anyway. The real target is the MSM, Courts, Judges, Lawyers and politicians that were strategically placed before the election to block the obvious vote fraud. We need to get back to work after we finish crying in our beer and expose Acorn, and its democratic enablers in Congress and clean out the house.

If we, as conservatives do not do it, who will? The “bleeping” media?!

These liberals are in for one HELL of a sticker shock when buyers remorse kicks in, we have a lot of work to make sure they don't pin it on us. Because the MSM is going to try to blame all the garbage that they do on Bush and Conservatives.

It was pretty clear that Acorn was a two pronged attack. One to crash the market at the right time by building in incredible instability that the Media could set a match to, and two the massive voter fraud that the politicians and Judges defended for the very short time necessary to allow the ballots to be stuffed.

OHIO, is a lesson we need to remember, along with all the empty Acorn offices when the police started to raid. Our enemies are not accidents, they were well planned and struck hard, fast and with focus.

Now we need to track them down and destroy them one by one like the Mossad after the Olympic Massacre. They are all going to come back out from under what ever rocks they hid under thinking the coast is clear. We need to find them, name names, and cite evidence so loud and long and clear till they all live in Jail.

If we do not come out fighting for our lives, with lightning force, they will have the Internet locked down under the fairness doctrine before we get our hair combed.

That is how Marxist's work, they plan for ever, then strike hard, fast and organized. Their game plan is not over, it has just begun. We better realize we are in a fight for our lives. The rule book just changed. We live in a weak Marxist Dictatorship now. Better start getting a bit more serious because you bet they are not goihg to be weak for long.

I didn’t think of that scenario. Thanks.

Cancer is ultimately self-correcting - this is a truism; IMO, people aren’t ready to embrace the truth. Ultimately, they will have to, and we just moved closer to that time!

Yup, that is pretty much how I see things going too. And we will join the world court so our troops can be tried for war crimes too. And we will sign Kaoto and carbon tax the hell out of what little industry remains. Military will be gutted, etc, etc, etc. We will be lucky if we live to see 2013.

Did I say it like it was a Bad Thing? I didn’t mean to. Bush’s personal IFF system appears to have been broken for a while.

The United Nations exists to block anything the USA attempts to do to expand democracy or promote peace.

Created by the Soviet spy traitor Alger Hiss. What do you expect.

what islamic expansionism in Europe? Do you really think the muslims of Europe are the same as those in the middle and far east, or even the caucuses? The Russians would've further polarized that area, so i do not agree with you. Only the US, not aggressive Russia, nor spineless EU, could've stopped the genocide there and ensure that Wahabbi version of Islam stayed out of Europe. You don't see the muslim Bosniacs declaring Jihad on the West do you? It's precisely because they owe their survival to the US. Same with the Kosovars

Who do you think fought against the Ottomans in Kosovo? It was the Christian Serbs. Who do you think fought on the side of the Kosovo Muslims in the civil war? It was Jihadists from Muslim states like Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia. Burning Orthodox Churches and driving them out. You are seriously misinformed if you think that appeasing Muslims in central Europe is anything but emboldening the Islamic cause. And there was no genocide. Another bit of Clintonian bs holdover from the gang job on the Serbs and the "World Court's" hatchet job on the Serbs.

So did I, and I don’t mind saying that I felt a bit dirty afterwards. If it weren’t for Palin I might have done a write in.

>will the dumb ass college students please wake up<

They’ll be the one’s crying the loudest, once the draft is dusted off. Remember Joe Biden’s warning.

I’d almost laugh, but I just don’t have it in me.

let me address your history quote here. The bosniacs, serbs, croats, alabanians, greeks, bulgarians, romanians, hungarians, vlachs, macedonians, and pretty much everyone else in the Balkans or nearby fought against the Ottoman Turks. Following your logic we should ignore the genocide the Serbs committed during 1998-1999 when they killed tens of thousands of kosovars. What about the bosniacs they killed? Would you say that we should ignore the holocaust just because german crusaders fought to reclaim the holy city from the Saracenes? Please! I understand you're a Serb apologist, but if president Bush saw it fit to continue to stay in Kosovo there must have been a good reason: to stop any future powerplays by the russians in that region and discourage the spread of fundamentalist islam. You don't hear of any suicide bombers attacking Camp Bondsteel do you? According to you there was no genocide? Really? What do you call the murder of over 10 000 civilians? The serbs invented the word ethnic cleansing in Bosnia, thanks to Radovan Karadzic whom I hate to say the EU won't hang. So, before you shame the sacrifices of our men and women who worked to save Boniacs and Kosovars take this discussion elsewhere. We were talking about Obama! I'd be glad to discuss Eastern European history with you whenever you wish. Just let me know.

They hate being called Persians now but make no mistake, Arabs won’t be in charge. Iranian Clerics will rule over Iraq before the O’s term is up.

Let me repeat.

1. There was no “genocide” of either Bosniacs or Kossovo pan-Albanian Muslims. You proliferate the BS of genocide. There was a civil war. The US Civil War caused the death of 3/4 million people. A small fraction died on all sides in the Yugoslavia debacle. But go on believing the lies you were fed throughout the Clinton administration with Albright the head-liar. Suck it up pal. Sounds to me you played right into their propaganda hands. Some Conservative you are.

2. Christians fought against the Ottomans in Europe. They didn’t want to be dhimmis anymore. Those who were Muslims enjoyed all the privileges of Ottoman dhimmitude against the oppressed Christian populations.

Tell me something: how would you define genocide? What’s next from you, there was no holocaust? Don’t worry about my conservative values, mind yours! I don’t see you griping about the US involvement in the Middle East process via Democrat or Republican presidencies. So spare me. And just curious: why are you a serb apologist? Or do you hate Muslims of all creeds?

I’m sorry, it was rhetorical. I just meant that socialists and communists are elated to see Obama win.
