INCREDIBLE! Russkies Threaten Nuke War!

Russian General Anatoly Nogovitsyn publicly said if Poland allows America to build a Missile Defense Shield Poland opens itself up “100%” to a Russian attack up to and including nuclear weapons.

That is just a little too much! Bush should come back with the old Mutually Assured Destruction strategy and tell Russia if you nuke my pal we will nuke the Russians into Siberia.

RED FLAGS SHOULD BE GOING UP OVER PUTIN’S ANGER

The old KGB fox and current President of Russia flamed Secretary of State Rice and Secretary of Defense Gates in negotiations to find a common ground on a missile protection system the US is offering to build in Poland and the Czech Republic as a counter measure to a potential Iranian missile attack.

The quickly fading ally Russia views the Missile Defense Umbrella as a threat to Russian missiles, meaning in old Cold War terminology the erasing of the Mutually Assured Destruction deterrent between Russia and Europe/America.

I mean Putin is furious! Now this begs the question: Why would a Missile Defense Umbrella which potentially even aid in protecting Russia from long range Iranian missile infuriate Putin?

Let us speculate a little.

Could it be that Russia is clandestinely aiding Iran build a nuclear arsenal with some kind of secret mutual defense pact? I mean Russia openly has provided nuclear technology to Iran. Russia has provided military arms to Iran. Russia is back to pushing the envelope on British air space. Russia is attempting to control any resources in the Arctic North Pole region.

Do all these act sound or look like the practice of a Western allies? Is Russian democracy based on the Western model devolving back to Russian despotism?

I am just speculating now; however there is the appearance of a Russian/Iranian secret pact that a Missile Defense Umbrella might just screw up.

Then there is on last question for you readers to speculate on an answer: What is China’s agenda in regard to Russia’s antics and Iran’s increasing belligerence as the West allows Iran to become a nuclear power? Hmm ???

Is There A Russian Covert Agenda a Missile Umbrella Screws Up?

Evidently Putin of Russia still thinks the nation has cajones. Putin is suspending an arms control treaty signed back in Soviet days in 1990 and amended in 1999 to reflect the current political scene of the Russian Federation minus much of former Republics of the Communist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).

Obviously Eastern Europeans formerly controlled as client States under the domination of the former USSR are a bit nervous of Russian re-assertion as a regional hegemon. Thus Eastern Europe’s mistrust has bought into a missile shield publicly designed to ward off missiles from rogue nations such as Iran. (Incidentally, was it not Russia that provided those missiles to Iran? Or from China? Or from North Korea? Or some sort of amalgam covert arms scheme from all three? Hmmm …?)

Clearly America is not an aggressor like Adolf or Napoleon. I doubt the relatively recently freed East European nations have the chutzpah to aggressively first strike an attack on Russia. So why would Russia protest so much about a defensive missile umbrella?

Could it be Putin’s Russia has designs to regain its empire after a chaotic geopolitical event takes place in the Middle East? Again I say, “Hmmm …”

Putin: Have the Missile Defense System in Azerbaijan Rather than Europe

Hmmm … I don’t know about you but I have little trust for Vladimir Putin. He was an old Soviet KGB fox. This means he was involved in espionage to counter American National Interests and a global scale under the defunct Communist Soviet Union.

Putin has made crystal clear his objection to a missile defense umbrella being built in Europe to the point of threatening to posture the Russian military in an offensive mode to counter any perceived attack advances from that missile shield.

America’s stand for the defensive shield is the ongoing pursuit of Iran to make weapons grade uranium that could be used in Iranian missiles that can easily reach Eastern and Western Europe. Putin does not buy that scenario. Evidently Putin comprehends that Russian endorsement and aid to Iran with its nuclear program could make Russia a target as well as Iran.

So what does the former old KGB fox propose to Bush at the G8 Summit? Putin suggests placing the American made missile defense shield in Azerbaijan, a Mohammedan nation formerly of the USSR and somewhat north of Iran. Bush has to ask, “How this benefits Russia and what are the implications to America?”

A missile shield in Azerbaijan could obviously stave off an Iranian missile attack if detection was rapid. There is even the potential of being a shield to Israel and ironically to Russia itself in the case of an Iranian missile attack.

However an Azerbaijan location could be a set up for a first strike removal of the missile umbrella by Russia to enable an in concert attack by Iran (and potentially China). The appearance to me is a total benefit for Russia depending on which ever way the geopolitical winds blow.
