So more B.S. then. Got it

Russia Could Strike Poland Over U.S. Shield

Sat Aug 16, 2008 5:14am IST MOSCOW (Reuters) - A top Russian general on Friday said Poland's deal with the United States to set up parts of a missile defence shield on Polish territory lays it open to a possible military strike, a Russian news agency reported.

Col-General Anatoliy Nogovitsyn, deputy chief of the general staff, told Interfax that Russian military doctrine would allow for a possible nuclear strike.

Poland agreed on Thursday to host elements of a U.S. global anti-missile system after Washington agreed to boost Poland's own military air defences.

"The USA is engaged in an anti-missile defence for its own government, and not for Poland. And Poland, in deploying (elements of the system) opens itself to a military strike. That is 100 percent," Interfax quoted Nogovitsyn as saying.

Nogovitsyn said Russia allows nuclear weapons to be used in circumstances defined by its current security doctrine.

The Russian government revamped its national security doctrine in 2000, broadening the range of conflicts in which nuclear weapons could be used.

"It is written clearly: We will use it in instances against governments that have nuclear weapons; against allies of countries with nuclear weapons, if they somehow enable them," he said.

Washington says the missile system is aimed at protecting the United States and its allies from long-range missiles that could in the future be fired by Iran or groups such as al Qaeda.

The Kremlin has long said that was untrue, and has opposed the shield as a threat to Russia. The 10 interceptor missiles to be based at a site in northern Poland compare with Russia's own nuclear arsenal of more than 5,000 ballistic warheads. Continued...

Bring it on...at this stage in my life, I'm pretty much BTDT with everything I've wanted to do, also my successful parenting days are over. Successful...meaning, holds down a real job, doesn't do drugs, stays out of jail.

1. Believe it or not everthing that happens in the world invloves the US.
2. And not everthing that is bad is the end of the world.

Frankly, if Iran gets the A-bomb it changes nothing. Since almost the dawn of the nuclear age we have lived under the threat of imminent annihilation from the Soviet Union (now, Russian Federation, etc.) That's a threat much more real than any posed by IRAN and we never give it a 2nd thought.

We didn't go and blow ourselves up over the Cuban Missile Crisis, and that was a much more real threat than any imagined threat today.

If Iran gets the bomb, the most likely outcome is that they will pull a "north korea" and use it as a bargaining chip to get sanctions dropped. Which is fine by me. We've had sanctions on Iran for almost 30 years with no effect other than giving the Ayatollahs someone to thumb their noses at and justify their existence. Same with Cuba. Same with Saddam before we stepped in. Same with Kim Jung Il. These sphincters all need a "Crisis" to justfy themselves domestically and our foreign policy serves it up, nice, warm and delivered to their door in less than 30 minutes. I can't think of instance where sanctions have actually forced a regime change.

Nixon knew this. Better to open up to China then isolate them. Now they are all good capitalists.

As for Israel...they can take care of themselves. They have nukes and everyone knows it, including Iran.

Armageddon is the name of the place where all nations come against Israel in what will be the greatest land battle in the history of mankind. The Lord enables Israel to defeat the nations so that the world knows that He is all powerful and in control.

Didn't someone make a movie about this, "A Boy and His Dog" starring Don Johnson with Jason Robards and a cyborg dog.
