Along with the US "missile shield" of course.
What exactly was the argument for Bush to build up a missile shield in Poland ? Iranian missiles aimed at the EU ? Wow, this makes perfect sense to me. Did anyone who did partake in this decision, and made up this "reason", take the time to look at a map ?
It is only caspian oil and the new pipelines that matter, and the control of those regions, and i can even understand Russia feeling pi$$ed.

This idiotic russian statement is simply an answer for this idiotic missile shield policy. It would be good if this unified the EU, to give one decisive answer to Russia, or what's left of it.

This is a test for the new US president, and he should imho simply ignore it. If the EU is again too lame for a harsh reaction, it will certainly be the US who will answer this - but it should not. Russia is currently starving with falling oil and gas prices, and with the struggling world trade, and will react to substantial trade embargoes.
