[thewiseguy]

Russian president today announced that they will be deploying missiles between Poland and Lithuania, both of which are NATO members.

Medvedev also said that Russia would jam the US anti-missile system electronically.

These are extremely provocative moves by Russia. :scared:

1. They are putting them onto Russian territory...

Hawks will cry about this. I see it as a "doable" show of military might for a shakey country trying to regain its former glory.

2. another reason why Obama is the right choice...

these situations are not suitable for angry, rage-filled, erratic hotheads like McCain to handle...

3. OMFG who cares where Russia puts

missles on it own territory. Russia is not an enemy of the United States as much as the neocons would like them to be.

6. And if they jam our missle systems?

8. It is Russia's right to have weapons

be they nuclear, anti-missle or anti-anti-missle. They won't jam anything if there is not conflict. But you sure seem intent on stirring something up. Are you for a pre-emptive strike on Russia?

9. They have made it very clear that they will jam our systems

With or without a conflict.

7. they can put missles whereever they want

but ur right about the jammin' part... thats pretty provocative

the russian government can never be trusted as long as the people in charge are still in power. putin has seized control.

Let's not disappoint him.
