The Russian Bear cries foul again

In a recent development between what appears to be an ever deteriorating relationship between the US and Russia, The Czech Republic just ratified a new treaty with The United States allowing American Missile Interceptors to be stationed on Czech Territory. Of course, the Russian response was to say the least, belligerent and threatening.

The Russian response was to essentially threaten military action against both Poland and The Czech Republic, which are both harboring American Missile Defense Systems to protect against a potential first strike by Iran. Russia's response reeks of total hypocrisy and is borderline silly. With the creation of the evil Soviet Union, and let us not be political correct on this issue, apart from Nazi Germany, Communist Soviet Union was the most dangerous and murderous nation on earth; has openly been arming rogue regimes and terrorist groups for close to fifty years. In fact, Russia's early foreign policy was defined by spreading world-wide revolution through the arming of the most dangerous terrorist organizations in the world, predominately the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization), the creators of international hijackings. International terrorist organizations received both training and arms from The Soviet Union. Currently, Russia under the direct and indirect control of Vladimir Putin, essentially the latest in a long line of Russian Dictators has been providing direct aid and supplies to the nation of Iran in speeding up their progress to develop a nuclear weapon. Now, I'm not sure about you, but when a country such as Iran, regularly calls for the elimination of The State of Israel and The United States, and are subsequently being aided by the Russians, then one cannot help but conclude that Russia supports these goals. As Russia, was the largest terrorist supporting entity in the world during the cold war, they continue to support policies and countries that are clearly non-democratic, and are enemies of The United States and the West.

Given the current Russian belligerency, The United States has every right to defend it's interests, through it's increased friendship with countries that suffered greatly under the oppression of Soviet Communism. Additionally, both The Czech Republic and Poland have every right as sovereign countries to reach out to The United States both economically and militarily. In other words, Russia must still be living in the past where they think that they can manipulate and control former Eastern Bloc countries; however, these countries in particular The Czech Republic are not only independent countries but these are prosperous regimes whose people have enjoyed the fruits of American Friendship. Once again the triumph of freedom and liberty will always trump the tyranny of left-wing communism.

Therefore, I would propose the following to the Russians, if the Russian Government were to cease all assistance both economically and militarily to Iran, then I think The United States should consider not placing interceptor missiles in former Eastern Bloc States. Further, the Russian Government would need to back the US in the UN Security Council in supporting the effort to place additional economic and financial sanctions on the Iranian Government. However, I have a pretty good feeling that the Russians would never accept such a compromise. Why you ask? Well, one only has to look at previous Russian behavior. Russia, under Vladimir Putin, while he is currently serving as the Prime Minister and not the President there can be little doubt that Putin still controls the country and controls the path that he wants Russia to follow. He has plotted a course for Russia, that according to Putin will lead to a resurgence of Russian Power around the world.

All fair minded people, who love and cherish freedom should simply respond to such silly Russian threats with a sarcastic "C'mon man!", response. On the other hand, if Russia were to engage in some form of dangerous countermeasures against the US, America must make it very clear that it will not hesistate to protect its troops and allies. Russia should understand, that her economic success and the prosperity of her people will be severely affected if Russia were to destabilize Europe. I cannot think of any other issue than the current American-Russian Crisis that would serve as a catalyst in rebuilding American-European Relations that were for all practical purposes crippled during the last Iraq War. Russia, will find herself isolated in a new conflict against America and her European Allies.

Russia should understand, that her world-wide aggression will not go unanswered. However, the current crisis has a simple solution; if Russia were to stop supporting the Islamic-Fascist Nation of Iran, a 21st century Nazi Regime; then American would be compelled to withdraw her missiles. In the meantime, America will defend herself and preserve the freedom of Europeans who know to well what Russian Tyranny is.
