Russia warns of response to US missile shield

Russia says its response to the further development of a U.S. missile shield in Poland will go beyond diplomacy.

Russia's Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying the U.S. missile shield plans are clearly aimed at weakening Russia.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

Again, the proudly, geopolitically clueless are in control of US foreign policy, and there are no grown-ups in the room.

Just as Georgia hideously mis-judged Russia's ferocious fear of invasion, so has the white house just demonstrated a colossal failure of imagination by believing that Russia would not respond to the development of a US missle shield in Poland.

The words "beyond diplomacy" may well translate into a military attack against Poland. This agreement states clearly that the US will come to the aid of Poland militarily if Poland is attacked.

.... the US will come to the aid of Poland militarily if Poland is attacked.

Mu ha ha ha!

US defense of Poland against Russia would be about as effective as the US "shock and awe" campaign on a nearly defenseless little country like Iraq.

I'm still waiting for Iraqis to drop rose petals at the feet of American insurgent troops!
