US-Russia thorn removed – but will there be another one?
Published: 18 September, 2009, 19:21
One of the main sticking points for Russia appears to have been resolved, as the US is suspending its plans for a missile defense shield in Europe. But could another one emerge, considering the renewed US security plan?
I thought this was a nice fair minded article and mutual respect between our countries should become the norm and not the exception. I have found your articles on the WTC to be thought provoking as well.
I have watched your news Coverage in the Czeck Republic, about people there feel about the way their government is handling Military agreements with the US. If it makes people In Poland or the Czeck Republic feel any better, many of us in the US feel our politicians don't listen us. I voted for Obama, but now I am reminded he's Tansitional leader. So that means not really going to anything, just try to change change things, and who ever wins next time, they will be able to do something.
We Czech will always rather be on west side of barricade - believe me, 50 years of dirty Russian cotrolled pseudo communism is enough for thousand years. Public opinions against american radar was mainly created by russian secret agencies and fucking leftist and old order lovers here. Most people understand that its risky bussiness, but we are not afraid of Russians anymore. Anyway, Russia will have greater problems with Chinesse, islamic separatists, Ukraina in nearby future than some radar in CR.
When I read what-still-some Usa officials saying-"ABM was for Iran and not for Russia"-if it was for Iran Usa will put it in place! "ABM is gone because is not proofen,we find now Iran is still far away to build long-range rocket,etc,etc..."Why not say the truth-Russia force you to do! Those people never talk truth-it must be something wrong with them indeed!Usa see in Georgia how looks like when Russia say enough! They run fast...Usa know Russia will from now on use force agains all Nato if they not listen.Russia can send Nato 64 y. in the past-just give them a good reason!This is why Usa bend with reset.Nato become overnight nice and polite...Usa and Nato "change the policy"(with force we will kill ourself-lets try something else)..There will be another one thorn from the west-for sure but it will be also with intrest one from Russia, just as this humilation of Usa!West shall not be trusted--at all.Usa is superpower for domestic use-on tv in maped show! Russia always was no1.superpower(history show) and always will be! To Count Cash:injoy!Thanke you
@pohy Funny because when I look at Communism from it's founding philosophers to its leadership and finance the common thread I see is not Russia and your own Marxist post war government has senior Jews in important positions. And the Czech Republic helped install Communism in Russia giving sanctuary to exiled Marxists terrorist and holding an international Marxist conference co-sponsored by Jacob Schiff and his “Friends of Russian Freedom” Marxist organisation. There doing the same know hosting and being a main hub for Islamic terrorist/separatist groups in Russia, Central Asia and the Balkans like the MI6 running Princess Diana’s de-mining NGO front to train militants who to lay mines or Soros and his Open Society who gave an awarded to Frankfurt school Marxist philosopher Karl Pooper in the Czech Rep which based the foundations of his Open Society. What was Mohammed Atta doing in the Czech Rep?
There are many other problems. But the issue is, how will they be handled. A true understanding would result in the framework for problem-solving, and the conflict will not go public --- or at least not the raw part of it. We will, therefore, see it rather quickly. European page seems to be rewritten. Based on the posturing of many governments, especially in some less settled parts of Europe, like South East, one can feel the different wind blow. It may signal the end of European-Russian conflict grinder. It may also allow US to be more discreet in consulting with its European allies. Frankly, it all depends on two things: European ability to relax, and work with Russia on a pragmatic basis, and on US ability to take a longer view, i.e. not try to micromanage Russian-European day-by-day affairs. We are about to see the answer to the question Zbignew Brzezinski could not answer years ago in his Grand Chessboard. To give Europe the freedom, or to keep it as protectorate? Now, we shall find out. In his The Second Chance, he is by far less sure. Yet, he still believes that while George Bush blew the chance for world domination, it is still attainable. His old formula of destabilizing for fun and profit, may still be exported from Afghanistan.
Missile shield ot aimed at Russia? Guffaw!
Anyone believing that lie by American officials needs to have head examined!
In anycase, Obama and clique is fearful of Russia's growing clout and leadership especially with the pending return of Mr Putin. If Mr Putin exercise global leadership, expect many countries to create and join apprpriate geo-politcal Unions and that will secure them against America's bullying in future, and thus Washington's influence in the world.
Mr Putin in collaboration with Beijing's rulers will have the ability to make such global/regional unity possible. Thus, Mr Obama must now befriend Moscow and pull it into its orbit in order to breakup or divide Mr Putin's relationship with Mr Hu of Beijing and therefore further isolate China which Washington considers it, its long term competition.
I hope Mr Medvedev and Mr Putin do not fall for Mr Obama's or his successor's charms which will be reminiscent only of the big bad wolf as in little Red Riding Hood. To save the world, they must be able to resist the false and enticing charms of Washington.










This is all normal stuff , in reality the US can and does place naval missile bearing assets close to us. They don't even need make an anouncement about it. They make an announcement now, because,they have to steer a very difficult course with the Hawks, so they make a big anouncement about something they do already. For me, this is smart politics and will allow CNN ... to make nice aggressive stories about it. The AMD goes and still the Hawks have something to get behind. Now that is smart, let's open the bottle! Oh we should be cutting down!
