THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

" One in 10 chance perhaps, but save Chile! ... not concerned with risks involved ... $10,000,000 available, more if necessary ... make the economy scream."-- CIA Director Richard Helms, discussing plan to destabilize government of Chile under democractically-elected President Salvador Allende

 

Russia links arms control treaty to NATO expansion

Russia, which is fiercely opposed to NATO's expansion toward its borders, suspended its compliance with the CFE treaty last December but remains a signatory.

Moscow says the treaty, designed to limit battlefield weapons, such as tanks and armoured vehicles, on either side of the old Iron Curtain, is a Cold War relic which gives too much scope for an enlarged NATO to beef up its forces.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

Russia sees itself encroached economically and militarily by NATO.

It also has seen the outcome of US training of Georgian soldiers shortly before Georgia's colossally stupid military misadventure in South Ossetia.

Only a consummate dolt would believe, for one hot second, that Russia would be serenely calm about these events, and not fight back in any way short of a real shooting war.
