The threat of Russian tanks rolling into Europe right now is slim to none, the threat of Russia starting a nuclear war is a lot less than that and in such a case the missile shield would be about as much use as an umbrella during any city bombing raid in WW 2. Though there is some bad blood between Russia and Estonia, no sense in denying that, I dont really see Russia as a credible threat, thoug the propaganda war must go on. |

So Nato decided to build a shield together with Russia,finally something will be done to protect us from terrorist countries like Iran..thats one way of getting around a problem.
A shield has 2 functions,one is to protect the piece of earth its assigned to. The other is detterence,you throw one at us,then we know where it came from and bomb you back in the stoneage,that is the true power of a shield. The question at hand is,is it still usefull to keep Nato together,or should the E.U get out and do something on their own,truth is the U.S and Europe are like conjoined twins as far as Nato is concerned.. Maybe we should try to get Russia in Nato? |

They are pressing for that very thing as we speak.
I dont see it happening I dont see Russia wanting to be involved with a bunch of limp wristed spineless do gooders ... so to speak. Dont overlook one of the main motivations for changing the original plan. This ones easy, the original plan was a Bush program ergo inherantly flawed at least in their eyes.

I like the way how some also like to spout that Britain and France declared war on Germany after she invaded Poland in the name of democracy.
Well 1930's Poland was hardly a democratic or tolerant place. Correct me if I'm wrong but Poland's Jews weren't exactly well treated by their countrymen even before Hitler came along, pretty much how Jews weren't exactly well treated anywhere they were in eastern europe. |

I'd say the nation who is most at threat from Irans 'superduperuberweapons' is Israel.

As for suitcase bombs,that will have to be handled another way,for instance bombing of a suspected vehicle etc.,or kipnapping and eliminating key fugures..keeping knowledge private and not sharing it with 1000s of students from Arab countries as happened in the E.U and U.S and is still happening..its not bad being free and all,but we dont have to be stupid about it. |

Actually saying on pre-war Europe only a few countries can be described as democratic including non of East European except Czechoslovakia, which was sacrified to Hitler by the other two democracies though. BTW continiuing off-topic. Kazimierz Bartel (Polish ex-prime minister) has interesting biography "After the invasion of Poland by the Soviet and subsequent occupation he was allowed to continue giving lectures at the Lviv Polytechnical Institute. In 1940 he was appointed to Moscow and offered a seat in the Soviet parliament. He refused and returned to Lviv." I thought former polish officilas were not allowed to occupy public roles with Soviets though some Poles made military carrier in Soviet army and secret services in 1941-45 after serving in Polish army in 1939.
