Sweet Godwin's Law on the first page, now that didn't take long did it

What's ironic about this is that if our Army wasn't stretched to the breaking point in Iraq, a place we had no business being in the first place, nobody in the world would be stupid enough to "test us"

The fact that they know we have no troops to deploy is what makes them act like such tough guys.

Like Russia is not big enough...
Russia has the largest reserves in Natural resources.
Not once in world history has America moved in offensive tone to Russia.

Yet all the Russkies can snivel about is "Defending themselves" from what?
If the Russian Political System works for the people under the Kremlin whats the problem?

THese Missile systems have no Offensive capability whats so ever and they merely reduce the number of casualties in the event of a missile strike.

I am pretty sure Obama will pull the plug on the missile systems anyways. It's not a back down or standing down, infact it's money America would rather not spend anyways...

You realize he doesn't actually take office until the Inauguration in late January of next year right?

I would suggest you as a citizen of that country contact you representatives and voice your displeasure with this decision, because when it comes down to these being installed your government can always say no if the people are against it. :2 cents:

No it doesn't.

If a guy in New York and myself have well known differences, and he starts putting up "Anti-Missile" defenses in my neighbors' yards here in Washington, I am sure as hell going to put up missiles in my yard to take those out, and while I am at it, I will make those missile have the ability to do a lot of damage, as an option, just to be safe.

Yes I'm sure if McCain had won they wouldn't have done that.

And I'm sure if McCain was president he'd get all mad and talk about bombing Russia and Palin would be talking about how she can see the missles from her back yard.

Yes it does.

I mean if the Czech's and Pole's think they do not need the missile system and the general populace of those countries think they do not need it, Obama will pull the plug on them. I am certain of it.

It will take a penstorke for Obama to discard that system plan anyways that costs billions. It's a no brainer decision. THe situation is nothing like Cuba Missile Crisis whats so ever no matter how hard people try and paint it that way.

The missiles are for shooting down other missiles thats it. Nothing more.

Cuban Missile Crisis was about offensive nukes on CUban soil.

Anyway there is nothing to fear. Obama has already promised to cancel the missile defense systems. It was one of campaign promises. The Russians are just reminding him of his promise. He will be backing down on this issue (and many others) as soon as he is inaugurated. The Russians are just trying to make it look they they forced the change in policy even though Obama is on record as being opposed to the missile defense system.

It's understandable that Russia acts like this. Many months ago they said they'd use nukes to defend themselves against the coming missile shield, but media and politicians(IMO) didn't take them seriously. I think it's usually a mistake to ignore threats from the Russians...

Please show me links to these countries that currently RESPECT us.

And the next act begins...

Look up the word Appeared, then compare it to Purposefully.

Because they can..

Every time that asshat from Venezuela speaks he challenges the US to a war.

can you read??

they postponed the speech twice so they could do it to fuck with Barack Obama, keep trying.

Oh, so you are saying that they knew Obama would win? Hmmm.

Primary difference: Kennedy had military experience.

Semantics. I proved you wrong, thats all I needed to do.

i just live here, i'm not czech. but there are lots of people who demonstrate already against this. but as we know the government not always listens to their people. it's a special problem with most of the new eastern european union countries - because they do not feel fully accepted by the old western members, they used the conflict around the Iraq war and played nice with George Bush - because they might have thought to gain something by doing so. now they lost on both sides.

he drove aroundina littel boat for awhile. Like that means you can can control an army better than if you didn't drive the little boat around. I kick ass at RISK that must mean I'd be a super duper Commonder in Chief.

He promised cuts in funding, not a cancellation of the program HUGE difference. One thing you non Americans need to remember, US politicians promise everything to get elected, once in office reality sets in and most of those promises are left behind

Democracy can be frustrating but look what we did here yesterday :thumbsup

How exactly did you prove me wrong? The article does not say what you say it does, end of story.

Oh god, give me a break.

You don't?

learn to read.

You are dumber than I thought. I apologize for underestimating your ignorance.

i wish they could decide on a government here at least - everytime they vote it ends up as a tie, then they try for a while, someone fucks it up, then they re-elect and the same bullshit starts again. :Oh crap

thankfully at 60% atheists it's at least unlikely that any government here will target porn :winkwink:

My read:
Ignore Russians, don't give them:
attention
credits.

with oil prices going down, Russians will be in lines after toilet paper in no time if they repeat going into the arms race. We kicked their asses once and almost bankrupted them, and we can do it again.

What military school did he go to and what army/division did he command?

You can't be serious BD.

Good analysis.

Plus or minus some posturing.

They do know that he doesnt take office for 75 more days right lol

Gee maybe because we are surrounding their country with weapons and military bases?

I think Obama is far from weak and they will regret trying to play him. He said it last night, he isnt going to fuck around.

What did McCain do right while he was enlisted other than stay alive? If not for nepotism would we even know who this guy is today?

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

btw the russians are playing this exactly like the american warlords they only use a little less politicaly correct talk. Turn the tables on the situation, if the russians would place a missile shield in mexico how would the US react?

see the big picture here its all a game of money and power and we the public are being brainwashed and conditioned into supporting war. Im astonished some people in this thread still fall for it, havent you learned anything from all the wars?
