Tejek, I think we have to be very careful how we handle this Russian thing. We have been crowding Russia and most people don't know enough about foreign policy to know how the game is played.

Crowding Russia? Where has anyone encroached upon Russian territory? Russia is happiest when it has a buffer of satellite states surrounding it. I am afraid that just won't fly in the 21st century.


A missile defense system in Poland was always a right wing nutso idea. Liberals/dems always saw that as a huge danger, just as expanding NATO to Russia's doorstep would be.

That whole area over there has been in constant war for hundreds of years, for ever, and they are more sensitive than we are to aggression by neighbors.

I think you may be over dramatizing what's happening. I have been watching Putin for the past 10 years. He has been building to this moment.......an attempt to reclaim the Soviet Union's past glory. And the bully that always was Putin has come to the surface. In my experience bullies can't be allowed to throw their weight around.
