Funny that the Russians chose announce their decision to to move those missiles to Kaliningrad right after the election... sounds like an intentional provocation of our President Elect.
But yeah, blaming Bush makes sense...

People please step away from the "I hate USA" koolaid table. Just because you hate Bush doesn''t mean that the USA is the cause of every problem in the world. Maybe if you would focus your energy on coming together as Americans we could solve these problems.

The end of the great USA will come not from the hand of another country. It will come from the HATERS inside the USA. Please don''t let your hatred for Bush cloud any common sense you may have. The Russians do not like us anymore now that Obama has been elected than they did when Bush was elected for his second term. WAKE UP!!!!!

Get over Bush, everyone. The Russians are using this time of US weakness to exert their influence.
Bush didn''t cause the financial crisis nor did he begin US dependence on oil. The Russians have always been thugs - hopefully Obama sees this because it sure seems his supporters do not.

The Russians still hold and refuse to return a chunk of Finland they grabbed during WWII after the Finns exhausted themselves fighting the Germans. Maybe you Russian loving Obamorons could take up the cause of "returning Finland to the Finns", eh?

What I get a kick out of is the ignorant who don''t
HAVE A CLUE as to the difference between a device designed to knock down a missle and an the ICBM it is designed to hit. For one thing, the warhead is conventional and quite small and the guidance system is designed to hit MOVING ICBM targets. Ignorance is BLISS Obamorons, keep displaying it here.

The comments from Obots and others implying that the Russians are benign folks whose saber-rattling is attributable to the policies of that ol'' devil Bush are prophetic. -----

Russia has a history of governance by imperialist thugs. The current bunch of thugs are ex-KGB, joined by gangsters and financed by oil revenues. This is not the first time they have sought a foothold in this hemisphere. -----

They are, unfortunately, more than a match for a U.S. struggling under the weight of its own profligacy and soon to be run by 60s pacifists and their metrosexual progeny. We''re screwed.

I am afraid that Meddy''s strings are showing. Vlad the Impaler is running the show. Big tough KGB guy beat up peoples tied to chair. If the Obamaron nation can be induced to look at history
(inconvient truth that it is) they will find that the recent invasion of Georgia was not the first for the "former Soviet Union". They seek buffer Christian countries they can control between themselves and their peaceloving Islamic friends. Wasn''t so long ago that the Russian booth was firmly in place on the Georgian neck, and they well remember that. It is easy to understand why the folks in eastern take a harsher view of "Mother Russia than the average Obamoron foreign policy expert. They also know that international strife causes oil prices to go UP and Vlad''s joke of an economy DEPENDS on high oil prices to survive. You Obamorons who think this is all "W"''s fault will learn eventually.

"I believe what you are referring to is known as an embargo in "republican" terms, used as a strong arm tactic to attempt to sway a government toward your goal or away from your enemies goals..."

----------------------------------------------------

Gosh, we have such a dumbed down society, there are actually those who honestly believe there is something called an ''embargo'' based purely ''Republican'' terms. I suspect the poster has been hoodwinked into believing an embargo set in place by a Republican is somehow less evil or substantively different than one instituted by a non-republican.

It would seem the poster writing such was not paying attention to President Carter''s grain embargo, President Kennedy''s Cuban Embargo, or Bill Cinton''s Iran embargo.

But then again, an wise man once said, "If you do not read the news you are uninformed. If you DO read the news you are MISINFORMED.

The entire World is worried and concerned about the global financial crisis and trying to work together to solve it but Russian President Dmitry Medvedev would rather play with Russian warships like a little kid playing with his toy ships while taking a bath. Grow up Medvedev, nobody has time for your empty bluster. With oil prices sinking it may be the last trip the Russian Navy can afford to make to Venezuela.

on the other hand, the return of the cold war could be good for both economies, russia''s and ours. certainly, at this time, it offers russia a focus point from which to rally all its people in a common cause. don''t know about the usa since it is so divided these days.

What this country''s media will not allow us to critically consider, because "free press" is not guaranteed in ANY *** WAY OR FORM whatsoever, is that Russian''s have leadership that they can trust and that''s good for Russia, and we have JUST THE EXACT DIAMETRIC OPPOSITE.

Anybody who believes this guy is anything other than Putin''s puppet is in denial. Explain to me why they made Putin Prime Minister instead of him just fading away. It''s Russia''s way of beating the vote and term limits until he can run for Prez again, while still keeping his fingers in the pie.

This is yet another example of the failed foreign policy of the incompetent, blundering idiot named Bush. Because he is trying to militarize Europe this is an expected backlash.
There is no need for the missile defense system unless Bush wants to reignite the Cold War and dump yet another problem due to his failure as a leader into Obama%u2019s lap.

The Cold War rhetoric continued with the Kremlin blaming the United States for the global financial crisis.

PHHWAAHAHHAHAWHAT! I would have never guesssed that the REALITY of the United States being the CAUSE of the global financial crisis was actually cold war rhetoric.

Which to believe, CBS pro-American propaganda, or Medvedev''s "cold war rhetoric"? Hmmmm... that''s a tough one.

Medvedev''s "cold war rhetoric" by a *** MILE.

our troops are already spread thin, so there isn''''t anything we can really do at this point and time.

agree..... yip....... reading news around the world, countries are expecting P.E.Ob to live up to his promises - the reputation of the U.S. depends largely on this.... as the Chinese have said without reservation. God help us if P.E.Ob doesn''t deliver....

Medvedev is Putins puppet. Bush helped Putin consolidate power by saying he saw basically an honest man in Putin eye''s and Bush not only hurt the US image across the world he helped the enemies gain their powers. I also feel Obama ''s going to be another great catastrophe for the US. We needed someone with Hillary''s experience and again the voters slipped
