Further Millitary Action Possible?

jeremy8529 · 08-20-08, 09:05 PM

Is possible military action possible by Russia in response to the USA building a missile defense network in Poland? I don't think this artical tells enough about the "threat" by Russia, has anyone heard anything new?

""In this case Russia will be forced to react, and not only through diplomatic" channels, it said without elaborating." That is quoted from Fox News

As I said, we are closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than at any other point in history. It is coming. I do suspect Russia will launch some day preemptively.

Time to buy more ammo. Time to move away from possible targets. Its coming.

Where have they claimed the Patriots are for Iranian missiles?
Maybe their fears of Russia are justfied as Russian threatened to nuke Poland, Poles havent made such threats, Russia is digging a hole it cant get out of.

Just caught that myself - they hadn't said this one. On the other hand, Patriot is part of the missile defense, but clearly the capabilities of the system is not going to be useful against the unlikely, hypothetical missile from Iran. So, really, who's left?

According to the article, Russia mumbled something about "not only through diplomatic channels", and it became nukes?

Besides, targeting is just that ... targeting. Since you clearly are not an ally, Poland should have expected that Russia will add Polish targets to their to-nuke-in-war list. I frankly don't even see the provocation or meanness in all this - it is just what you expect when you suck up to another Big Brother.

In the unlikely event the Russians do take "military action" against those bases, it'll probably be either a commando or a low-level air raid that aims to make the destruction a fait accompli, similar to the Israelis and the Iraqi reactor in '81 or so.

As for Rice, I just want to howl a bit:
"Missile defense, of course, is aimed at no one,"

Any defense or offense is always aimed at someone. Otherwise you should have saved the money to build a school.

The idea that a defensive system cannot pose a danger to anybody was refuted by the United States in the 90s, when they stopped Cyprus from installing S-300 SAMs.

"It is in our defense that we do this."

Cool. Defense against what? Iran? Then what are these Patriots? Russia. Now at least this is an honest answer...

This is where that firebug on the movie "The Stand" starts to chant about "The Big Fire...."

Come on folks. Russia's not going to nuke anybody. Not Poland, not the Ukraine, not Western Europe. It's all talk. They can't. They will gain nothing but their own total and complete annihilation. Doesn't sound like a move worthy of their consideration. Looking seriously at it, I'm sure they're miffed at the missile shield in Poland. But they certainly have other options than nuclear warfare. It's worthy to note that an empty nuclear warfare threat will get them the least results to satisfy their concerns over the shield. Mr. Putin needs to realize that.
