| #6 Putin is offering to base Russian nuclear missiles in Serbia, which wouldn't be proliferation. For many years the US kept nuclear weapons in the UK. I don't know if they still do. Putin is looking for pushback over Kosovo and US missile defence sites in eastern Europe. This is a twofer. It makes sense from Putin's perspective, less so from Serbia's. The Euros will go nuts if this happens and Serbias already slim chance of joining the EU would go out the window. But I understand the mood in Serbia is very angry at the moment. May be they are prepared to say 'Scr#w You' to the Euros. |

| #5 Putin MUST be losing his wheat, barley, AND cotton pickin mind! I'm sure he knows that would be tantamount of another 'Cuban missile Crisis' scenario, that the west would have to respond to! I've always said, Putin is the 'wildcard' in all this vitreous venom spewing out of the Kremlin. Then again, an Obama Administration may consider such a 'proposal' by Russia to be in the purview of the UN, NATO and EU, and back off to let them 'handle it'! It would save the US Billions for infrastructure improvements, more jobs and better wages!! |

| #2 I guess we could offer nukes to Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, etc. If we're not going to control the suckers, we can at least make it interesting for all parties concerned. |
