As I have already posted here on RT, Obama's "the reset bottom policy" was merely a move aimed to soften Russia before further aggresive steps are made. What we have now is open preparations of US for a war against Russia. They are accumulating troupes on Russian border, the same kind of activity we already saw in 1941 from Nacy Germany. With the rate of happenings like what we are witnessing now, I simply do not see how the war could be postponed for beyond 2012. Russian leadership should be watching US moves very carefully, since many key authirities in the US see a sudden, quick, and victorious war the only wayout from the current economic turmoil and the ongoing sliding-down of the US position in the world. They think that if they defeat Russia then China will authomatically surrender. That's why Russia is a primary target now. "Sooner the better" is already too late for America to have a war. What they really need is the war NOW! So, Russia take care and be prepared. However, I am somehow positive that Russia cannot be defeated, and will emerge at the end as a victorious side.

Sahibs only respect MAD, everything else to them is a weakness to be exploited fully. There is no difference of their view of Russians. They view the rest of the world as untermenschen, just as Mr. Adolf did.

Vladimir: "What we have now is open preparations of US for a war against Russia." There is no need for US to initiate a war with Russia. Obama, the great friend of world peace and the Nobel Peace Prize recipient, has bought into "Operation Anaconda"- an American plan to slowly squeeze the Russian Federation into nonexistence. The nations surrounding the RF are like vultures waiting to pick on the carcass of the Russian Federation. History has shown that whoever trusts the Americans will live to regret the decision. Just ask the American Indians who initially help the struggling Plymouth colony, only to be destroyed by them; or, the Mexicans whose land was stolen; or, Yugoslavia who was dismembered by the US after the collapse of the USSR. The Russian federation should have learned a painful lesson from the false promises America have them when the Warsaw Pact was dissolved. The alarm bells should be going off in Moscow as America moves into the Black Sea.

Bulgaria is NOT willing to host any anti-Russian NATO installations or missiles. If you ask the people, 98% will be opposed! The problem is the politicians, who are willing to sacrifice our relations with our Russian brothers, at what price, I can't tell

I am sorry, but do you really think that the US has any intention of attacking Russia? America would never have the chance. They want to work with Russia because Russia is too powerful of a country to be against. I think people need to remember that this is not the cold war anymore. America is too busy going to war with 3rd world countries, to fight a real nation.

My friends, I find it truly disturbing that the propaganda machine has taken you to such thinking. This country's forces aren't set up for these types of conflicts anymore. Realistic thinking tells us that such a conflict would be as ruinous now as it would have been during cold war days, far outreaching the direct combatants.The entire world would find itself destroyed politically, monetarily and physically With no winners. As an American I can say that I have never encountered Another (since the end of cold war) of my countrymen with the type of thinking you suggest. Saber rattling is good for all our economies,simple as that. We just need people with cool heads on all sides to lead us to more productive ways of strengthening everyone's welfare. Political stanceing is going to continue long after you and I leave this weird world. peace to you.
