Dear Mr. Putin: Please be starting your cold war without us, kthxbye
The United States and its allies will not be deterred by a Russia bent on starting a new Cold War.
ROME (AP) - President Bush signaled Friday the United States will press ahead with a missile defense shield in Eastern Europe despite Russia's heated objections. Poland's president expressed support for installing interceptor rockets in his country.
Didn't they learn their lesson from the last one?
Hold this one by yourselves! We'll take a pass. As President Bush stated: no one is being forced to choose between the United States and Russia. Countries are free to be friends with both nations.
I love how Putin tries to compare deploying purely defensive weapons (and only 10 of them at that) with his plans to deploy dozens of offensive ballistic missiles of a new, advanced model.
The Russians are attempting to cow their former subjugated states with threats of nuclear attack.
But Solovtsov voiced concerns that Washington, which is planning to deploy 10 interceptors in Poland, could boost their number in the future. He warned that a hypothetical military action could have "grave consequences for all parties involved."
He also said that it would take only five or six years, or even less, to build new, upgraded versions of missiles scrapped under the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty -- the 1987 agreement signed by Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and U.S. President Ronald Reagan banning medium-range missiles.
Where are all the whiners about "broken arms agreements" now? Where are the nuclear "freeze" proponents? Where have all those useful fools gone?
It will be interesting to see how they try to blame Russia's increased aggressiveness on President Bush.
