I have to agree with the OP on this.
I have no idea what's going to happen with this.
The last time I tried to see into the future, the women in their locker room caught me.
But like the locker room incident, this won't end well.
It's a quid pro quo.
Just like the North Korean deal with Bill Clinton.
We don't find out for a few months what the other side of the
deal was. Wasn't there a secret memo about this a few months ago?
We will take away Polands missiles if you agree to .......???

Maybe you forgot but Russia backs rogue nations like oh Iran, and we just found out they have the abilty to put a satelite into space... Kudos to
them, but it is that hard to modify that Rocket into an ICBM and added a nuke to it.
**PFFFT** PLEASE!!...
Russia would sell missiles and nuclear centerfuges directly to the U.S.A....
IF they American Gov't/Military wanted them. LOL.
They are not playing favourites.

Russia drops Kaliningrad missile threat

Russian officials have said throughout the missile-shield dispute that Moscow was planning countermeasures, while remaining vague about the
details.
Moscow is pursuing an ambitious, costly plan to replace its Soviet-era long-range missile arsenal, and the military has said that a key part of the
plan is adapting the missiles to overcome US defences.

U.S., NATO, Russia Missile Shield Backed by Rasmussen (Update3)
www.bloomberg.com...
By James G. Neuger
Sept. 18 (Bloomberg) -- NATO and the U.S. will consider linking up their planned missile-defense shields with a Russian system as part of a “new
beginning” in East-West relations, alliance Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said.
In an initiative to flank President Barack Obama’s policy of “resetting” ties with the Kremlin, Rasmussen renewed the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization’s efforts to bind Russia into a system to guard against missile attacks from Iran.
“We should explore the potential for linking the U.S., NATO and Russian missile-defense systems at an appropriate time,” Rasmussen said in a
speech in Brussels today.

Obama Missile Plan Wins Russia Praise, No Iran Shift (Update1)
By Janine Zacharia
Sept. 18 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama’s decision to scrap a U.S. missile defense system in eastern Europe won praise from Russian leaders.
What it didn’t win was a sign that they will cooperate to thwart Iran’s nuclear program.
Obama stressed that his reversal of President George W. Bush’s plan to place radar and missile interceptors in the Czech Republic and Poland
reflects a new assessment of Iran’s missile capabilities, not a response to Russian opposition.
“This is not about Russia,” White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said yesterday.
Analysts and lawmakers saw it differently. They called the move a gesture less than a week before Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev are
scheduled to meet Sept. 23 at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, where Iran and its nuclear program will top the U.S. agenda.
The Obama administration “wanted to get it out there before the meetings in New York,” said Janusz Bugajski a senior fellow in the Center for
Strategic and International Studies in Washington. “It will be read in Russia as ‘America stepping back,’ which is potentially dangerous if they
feel emboldened to push other things to gain concessions.”
Russian leaders reacted positively, while showing no sign of supporting the tougher international sanctions on Iran that the U.S. seeks.
Medvedev praised Obama’s decision as “responsible.” Konstantin Kosachyov, head of the foreign relations committee of Russia’s lower house of
parliament, said the “long-awaited” move showed that “the Obama administration is beginning to understand us.”
‘Serious Mistake’

Oh well, bring it on, I don't care, this planet is getting tiresome anyway,
Let's get out of the way.

Have you thought that maybe something is going on behind the scenes? Like the possibility of the US dropping the missile shield for a "favor"?
Did Russia give the OK for war?

What it means is that NATO is abandoning all it has learned and experienced the last 50 years regarding Russia in favor of "Political Correctness".
There seems to a lot of that going around in Europe these days. Head in the sand syndrome.
Wouldn't Russia like to "Link The Systems" ie. learn all they can about our system so they can design one like it and use it against the West!
At least the Russians are not yet brain dead.

Because they have business interests in Iran to protect. Where do you think the technology for the nuclear power plants in Iran comes from? The West?

Actually, the US built the first nuclear reactor in Iran, for the Shah.
The Tehran Nuclear Research Center is a 5-megawatt reactor fueled by highly
enriched uranium.

In case you haven't noticed, the Cold War is over and Russia and it's allies lost it. Russia is now a capitalist democracy, too. And the last thing
on Russia's mind is going to war with the US and its allies. They are doing big business with Western Europe, why would they want to jeopardize that?
Besides, the whole pretext for establishing the missile warning system in former Warshaw Pact countries was quite ludicrous. They could have
restricted it to Greece and Turkey and achieve the same thing. No, it was quite obvious that from the start it was not only intended to protect from
Iranian missiles, but from Russian as well. Also, obviously the Russians made it absolutely clear that they would not accept such a weapons system in
their backyard. And it seems that they were very convincing. Anyway, nothing to fear from Russia. Russia should be made an ally, not an enemy.

Thanks for the history lesson. And your point is? Who is supplying them now? The US or Russia and China (maybe)?

This is indeed a major American blunder! Perhaps the biggest of Obama's presidency!
Be careful saying that, his presidency isn't over yet and beleive me, there are much dumber things he could do. Even though for now this one takes
the schnitzel.

Well, that would make a lot more sense for a missile system intended to protect Europe from a threat in Iran, no?
Poland and the CR never made much sense from the (overhyped) "Iranian missile peril" point of view.
The Russians saw them as a way for the US to counter their retaliatory ability in the case of a US nuclear first strike.
That would make anyone in their right mind a bit nervous.
