The Bush administration "threw out" the ABM Treaty which kept an uneasy stalemate since WWll. Russia looks at this as a possible first strike weapon against Russia. If they wanted to put this in Cuba we would be ready as JFK was to start WWlll over it.This is the military industrial complex speaking. They must continue the gravy train of easy money and this, as has been the case since Reagan, the black hole of defense. Russia's resultant action will be a buildup of a multitude of missiles many without payloads but enough to overwhelm the defense shield. We already know this but the Military Industrial Complex has no conscience only a lust for easy gain for itself.

The Russian leaders have apparently read the Noam Chomsky book titled "Hegemony or Survival, the Quest for American Dominance", which was publicly recommended by President Hugo Chavez in his speech to the United Nations wherein he called president Bush a satan.
The "missile shield" is thus viewed by Russia as a future potential playing card, in accordance with the Chomsky chapter titled "Imperial Grand Strategy". I would not be surprised, therefore, to see the successor of President Putin station several Russian ICBM on North Korean soil, and in return, provide free crude oil; the collapse of six-party talks this week sets up this possible scenario, because U. S. Asst Sec of State Hill has backed out of the quid-pro-quo of providing one billion tons of crude oil in exchange for N. Korean dismantling of its only nuclear electric power plant. "Look to it!" !!

The real chauvinistic and arrogant attitude of Russia to Ukraine is driving Ukraine to NATO....

"Do you understand, George, that Ukraine is not even a state?" Putin told Bush in an outburst at a closed session of the NATO-Russian Council in Bucharest, Kommersant reported. Losing his temper, Putin revealed his real attitude toward Ukraine. According to this view, Ukraine is not a real state, nor is it a separate entity from Russia, with which it shares a common origin and historical ties. For Putin, Ukrainian statehood is nothing but the vanity of delusional nationalism. More to the point, a significant portion of Ukraine's population is ethnic Russian, and a significant portion of Ukraine's territory is subject to Russian claims. In 1954, Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev gave Ukraine the Crimea, which was traditionally Russian, as a present, believing that the transfer didn't make any real difference since it remained part of the Soviet Union.

Putin has threatened to encourage the secession of the Crimea and the Russian-speaking, pro-Moscow eastern part of Ukraine if Kiev decide to join NATO. He was quoted as saying Ukraine would cease to exist as a state (after having said it wasn't a real state in the first place).

In other words, Putin is challenging NATO to a showdown: If you accept Ukraine into your ranks, we will foment civil war in one of your member states. Could NATO stand by and allow that?

I hate to be on the Russian side here but, if I were them I wouldn't trust Bush either. Let's hope he doesn't get us into WWIII before he's out of office.
