Russian Test. America Fails.

[eventhorizen]

The speed, effort and timing with which the U.S.A secured the Poland missile deal has done nothing but strengthen the Russian claim that the missiles are aimed as a strategic encirclement and strangulation of Russian sovereign strategic defensive capability.

N.A.T.O has shown itself to be impotant when it comes to conflicting interests, and the Western nations within N.A.T.O have been shown to be impotent when it comes to reinforcing propoganda so vehemenatly spewed against a strong and capable foe.

Russia has come out of the shadows with a blatant military operation against a wannabe Western ally, and a case. The West spits the exact same rhetoric it did against Iraq, Afghanistan, Iraq, China, Zimbabwe etc. The U.S, in the midst of perhaps the worst economic crisis of the last half century, seems fated to threaten war with one of the worlds most energy rich nations, that is already allied to Americas greatest threats, present and future.

It would seem there are two choices. Either America backs down and concedes that it is no longer the sole, definative superpower of the world, or in the midst of economic meltdown it declares World War Three. If Russia has the balls to draw their bluff.

Uh no....because Russia is blatantly not a super power, whether America calls the bluff or not.

This thread fail.

It's not America that calls the bluff Einstein. How ready is your economically castrated, government changing, war fatigued nation ready to back up the rhetoric against a nation like Russia? Like I said, you have two choices if the Russians don't back down.

Russian will be just fine in the coming decades. It has deverse economy, a nearly unlimited acsess to resources and a very intellegent citizen base.

Wow. PROOF?

Most of it is true, it was a good test for NATO because something like this hasn't come up, they'll learn.

You guys sure have a lot of penis envy these days. There is a third choice btw....Vladimir "Pecs" Putin might not get invited to play around with his wood with Bush anymore.

Go ahead, attack Poland....I dare you!!

once they will pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan, defeat their mortgage crisis, lick their wounds, they will be just fine... well, besides the 10+ trillion foreign debt they accumulated like a spoiled teenage girl with her dad's credit card.

So when is the best time to test their resolve?

Considering that;

funny you know. People gloat so much about americas economy they dont realize europe , china , japan, russia etc are economically worsing as well, just faster...

Really....

Do Scots have lots of penis envy then also?

ps. I am 1/4 Scottish, so this is ok to ask. ahaha

[Panzerbear]

I'd say give it 10-15 more years, when all BRIC + EU countries pump enough muscle to start openly flipping US the bird. now that would be entertaining to watch.

I would actually agree with your analysis. The only thing to mention here is that USA is not decaying just yet. once they will pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan, defeat their mortgage crisis, lick their wounds, they will be just fine... well, besides the 10+ trillion foreign debt they accumulated like a spoiled teenage girl with her dad's credit card.

and conquer all of its potato fields! who the cares about Poland?

it is Artctic oil reserves that we are all after . conquering Poland is out of style and is sooooo 1930s .

[Ahiga]

I don't get why people think NATO or the US is impotent for not starting World War 3 over a tiny sliver of bloodied Caucasus land. We kicked around the Russian dog that was Serbia and the Russians didn't just go AHHHHHHHHHHHH MOTHERLAND and fire ze missiles. Not to mention there is such a thing as a pendulum's swing. Russia was the lethargic old man of Europe after the fall of the Soviet Union before Putin arrived.

It feels like such a recommendation would be that if someone insulted your manhood, you should take out a gun and threaten to shoot them.

Obviously the Russian leadership enjpys making threats for whatever reasos it has.

How is one or two or whatever Patriot anti-missile batteries going to be a threat to Russia!????????!

Answer, they're not. So, Russia issimply blowing off steam since they do not control Eastern Europe and other regions as they did during the days of the USSR and the Tsars.

Wasn't the Soviet liberation and then occupation and dictorial control of Eastern Europe after WWII enough, not to mention Russia's complicity with the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Prussians in the Partitioning of Poland in the 1700's???

If Russia strikes Poland the Poles and the rest of the Europeans and NATO would create some major havoc with Russia, and Russia knows this and is now just blowing hot air for pride's sake.
