If U.S. missile plans in Europe materialize, Russia will have to respond - general
2007-08-21
MOSCOW (Interfax) - Chief of the Russian General Staff Yuri Baluyevsky said that Russia will have to take military measures in response, if elements of the U.S. missile defense system are deployed in Europe.

"I would describe as a big mistake the possible decision of the leadership of the Czech Republic to deploy elements of the U.S. missile defense system in its territory because Russia will simply be bound to take measures to build up its security in such conditions," he told the Moscow press after talks with his Czech colleague Martin Batrak on Monday.

#3  You've got to remember how effective Islamic terrorist threats have 'influenced' the Euros. So, why shouldn't Putin try the same game? You get what you tolerate.

#2  Maybe our installation of missile defense systems in the Czech Republic will need to include several thousand very well-armed "advisors".

As always, the Russians display a really shitty grasp of just how poorly their threatening PR campaign comes off. Rampaging around in hob-nailed boots doesn't do much to win hearts and minds when unsolicited military invasions are no longer a viable option.

#1  And what will you do? Point your missiles at us again? Put M.A.D. back in action? Spend money you don't have to overcome our improving missile interceptors? Build more nukes?

Seriously. I want to know.
