Well done Moldovo! and indeed everyone else, who has had the courage, and independence, not to play the games of the NATO puppeteers. You all can awaken, with no strings attached. The future is a network of independent states, cooperating and competing in a global economy, within a framework of mutual respect, ecompassing human rights and tolerance. Centralised blocks are so yesterday, they are the playthings of beurocrats on the gravy train. I hope more, wake up to the fact that NATO, is one of the most dangerous organisations in the world, it has no country, no culture, just a club of beurocrats, eager to make a pretty penny and massage their egos. It is not just Russia, that NATO is a danger to. NATO is a danger to all of its members and the whole world at large. It is a beast out of control, engaging more and more in criminal activity, in order to keep the gravy train on the rails.

Just a shame that Kosovo is so far from Russias borders, otherwise the Russians could have helped their Serbian brothers the way they are helping their Abkhazian and South Ossetian neighbours. The lesson the world learns is that might is right. Is it hipocritical of me to defend independance in one place and fight it in another. Yes of course... but as NATOs stance is directly opposite to mine I am in good company. At least I recognise the Hipocracy.

Such a great response from Serbia! we must now move forward step by step, arm in arm, in a union of freedom and morality. This will hellp bring justice and freedom to the world, countering the aggressive regimes of the US,NATO and the EU. We need move on to the political plane. We are welll ahead in this game, the US and NATO have spent years, invading, bombing, torturing and imprisoning. Whilst Russia has spent years building mutual free partnerships with other nations. Now the US is trying to repair the damage quickly, however, these countries are not so stupid, and can see a relationship with the US, is one of convenience, whereas a relationship with Russia is one of equality and trust. Russia has no air corridor to Serbia, so helping militarily was, and is impossible. We must therefore use a different approach to rid Serbia of aggressors, in order that Serbia can excecute self determinancy. This approach needs to be a combination of political backing at the highest level in the world from Russia and China, Calm politcal actions by the Serb leadership, and an increasing groundswell of protest within Serbia. This approach will succeed, in the end. There is no doubt about it, because the approach, does not take on the tyrants where they are strong, it takes them on where they are weak, their morality and humanity. The US,NATO and EU are aggressors, practising warcrimes, torture, political imprisonment and undermining of democracy through media manipulation. Together, being smart, we can beat them; may more just thinking people join us on our peaceful road!

I have to admit that I was amazed when I heard that Serbia won't take part in this NATO drills.This is an important decision proving that Serbia has chosen the other way,a way that is guaranteeing a bright future.We have always been allies and brothers,and nothing will be able to obstruct it,not even NATO,US or EU.

Really, "Russian"?! Didn't you mean to say "American"? DemoNOcracy lead by U.S. of A. has a terrible stench of Abu Ghraib and cowardly bombardment of schools, hospitals, TV studios, embassies and bridges from 30,000 feet. Russians and Serbs are brothers by faith and by the blood -- NEVER will the Serb soldier go to Russian borders! He never did and he never will. Живела Русија! Живела Србија!

As a Serb I am ashamed that my traiturous government even contemplated the thought to do anything with the NATO devils who brought, and are still bringing death, destruction,occupation and misery to my , and many other people on this planet.Now, they want to jab their claws on our Holly Mother Russia, which they encircled from all sides, like their Nazi, and napoleonic predecessors.Russian Brothers, and sisters, be aware, do not let yourself be deceived, occupied, and enslaved by this evildoers!

Even the thought that Serbs were to join the NATO war games was despicable. Never mind that those games were suppose to take place on the borders of our biggest friend, orthodox brothers and historic ally Russia. Even though I'm a not big fan of the current Serbian government, I do applaud their decision to withdraw from the games. They were not suppose to join the games in the first place. "Count Cash" said it all. NATO is suppose to be a military of the New World Order Government. Same as the NWO, it has no face, borders, religion, culture but only a bunch of masonic bureaucrats looking to not only make money but be the ultimate rulers of the world. At the moment, Russia is not only defending itself but the rest of the true and real Free World. Now we are making the last stance. Now we are defending the true freedom. If we don't succeed now, we'll all be enslaved. Russia, Serbian people will always be with you regardless of what their government does.

This is great news by Serbia, However I'm fairly new to the Russian-Serbia relationship and do not know much about these great countries friendly history, But I have seen so many negative sides in doing US-EU Led NATO Drills on international soil because these always seem to cause tension in Post-Soviet and Post-Communist airspace like the Former Yugoslav republic of Serbia. Like back in 1999 when NATO and the coalition of the EU and US strikes Kosovo and the Balkans, Also these drills are happening in Ukraine and many other countries, Like I have stated I am fairly new to the Russian and Serbian Brotherhood relationship, I can only give my full support to Serbia for sticking up for themselves and doing what right by them. NATO must realise that their way of handling international affairs are most certainly lacking in modern day time's because their Mandate is still stuck in the late 1940's and has not had a huge overhaul in their policies. I hope that Non-Members that aspires to become part of NATO will see the small tiny perils of joining NATO. Serbia, Russia will NEVER! let you down.
