Russia threatens action on NATO war games

Russia vows to keep the pending NATO military drills in Georgia under close observation warning to show the reaction it deems necessary.

On Friday, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev cautioned that "we shall be following everything that will be happening there in the most attentive way, and, if need be, take this or that decision," ITAR-TASS reported.

NATO members are to commit 1,900 troops to the exercise slated for May 6 through June 1 east of the Georgian capital Tbilisi. For almost a year, the military alliance has been hatching plans for the move codenamed Cooperative Longbow 09/Cooperative Lancer 09 command-and-staff.

"At a time when this or that military bloc is conducting an exercise there where just recently there was a very high degree of tension - and the situation there is not a very easy one today - all this is fraught with all sorts of complications," the Russian leader added referring to the 5-day hostilities between Russia and Georgia in August.

He claimed the measure would face the region with as much risk as the United States was posing to the Middle East and South East Asia by its pending exercises with Israel and the ongoing drills with South Korea.
"I am certain that this decision will add nothing to the positive sentiment of the people of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, because this sort of action is clearly expected to serve as a show of muscle, as a buildup of the military component. In a situation where all of us are already in a rather strained condition, this decision looks shortsighted and not worthy of true partnership," Medvedev added.

Oh boy, looks like Russia is upset at NATO, again. I seriously hope nothing comes of this nonsense bickering between Russia and NATO.

Last time when Georgia made military exercises with one nato member they started the war. What will be now?

That's a mistake by NATO and is an obvious sign that the alliance doesn't want peace. All NATO cares about is being an imperialistic expansionist (who is probably not even a defensive alliance anymore) and to piss of the Russians. NATO broke the agreement not to move East and they are still in Cold War mentality.

NATO might be your worse nightmare,but I am afraid NATO has bigger fish to fry in Afghanistan.

I guess we can't expect much more from a Russian.

No offense meant btw

I don't see what's so untrue about my statements. I can support every word, including that NATO is not a defense alliance shown through their assault on Yugoslavia.

Ahhh Russia...what a joke.

[Vercingetorix_Defeated]

Ahhh Russia...what a joke.

Yeah, they are a joke, except for the 10 000 nuclear warheads they have.

That's why we don't bug Russia too much.

First rule of international politics: the more nukes they have, the more nicely they get treated.

Except the US seems to have forgotten that rule.

Ours are better.

[Panzerbear]

Ours are better.

no they aren't. US hasnt produced any new missiles since like what, 80s?
also "better" is a very relative term for a nuclear blast .

[Panzerbear]

I think we should separate "US" and "NATO".

Ahhh Russia...what a joke.

you seem to forget the epic 8 threads about Russian-Georgian conflict then.

[Valiant Champion]

.

I think it is time for us to seperate from NATO.

[Holger Danske]

Ahh, More saber waving and show of pathetic double standards. Given Russia's recent activities in South America they should just STFU, really.

I think it is time for us to seperate from NATO.

Good thing the decision is not up to you... (Was this some form of sarcasm?)

[Norpheus]

What are they gonna do? Attack?

[Ulyaoth]

But don't most of Russia's have to be dropped from planes like the old days still? Whereas we have cruise missile ones and more ICBMs? I believe I also heard that many of Russia's would have depleted cores from being too old and improperly maintained or something. Still.

Next time you comment on something you have no idea about, please do some research first.

You guys are bragging about how many times you could blow up the planet?

God forbid trying to reassert sovereignty within your own country. Shame on NATO for trying to help Georgia defend itself. Where do these people get the nerve?

NATO was helping the anti-russian puppet government that has such terrible approval by the local populous to the point of them rebelling and it seems 'free and democratic' to put these people into submission for not liking their government. (primarily the 2 breakaway provinces)The people of Georgia obviously don't like there government and are trying to get rid of it but NATO keeps backing it up. I personally have nothing against NATO but im against the fact they are going against the will of the people. Aren't they supposed to be protecting democracy not crushing it?
