"News Flash -- there is NOTHING that can happen now to cause Putin to back out. "

Well, du-uh. I have been saying that from the beginning.

"However, when you install missile defense in surrounding countries, you make Putin pay a price for his actions."

What is that price? Like I also said, there isn't much we can do that isn't symbolic. The worst thing that can be done is kick them out of the G8.

And that is only symbolic at this point in time. This isn't the 1990s. They aren't weak and close to death. Dependent on the largess of the West. We have put them in control of our economic well-being.

And we are paying the price.

Tejek, and later I, have been pointing this out for years. Your team claimed we were just being alarmist, the Russians were too interested in making money to upset any apple carts. Through the miracle of the market place, the bear has been tamed and would do what we wanted them to do.

Then a funny thing happened on the way to the future...
