Actually, due to Russia’s overwhelming numerical superiority during the Cold War, its always been basic NATO doctrine to use nuclear arms as a response to a Russian invasion. Without this doctrine, they were afraid the Russians would risk a conventional war. As for your opposite assertion, I find it hard to believe that the Russians would change hundreds of years of Russian military doctrine — their response to any threat to Russia has been fall back until the invasion has been overextended. Its worked so far so I doubt the Russians have changed their doctrine.

How exactly is “no commitment” going a bit wobbly? Just because someone in the MSM said it? Meet the echo chamber.

He doesn’t have his cabinet assembled and he isn’t president yet, but you want him to make hasty statements? You always want quick and easy answers to everything. Wouldn’t you rather have Obama privy to classified intel before he starts making statements? You think the CIA had been sharing the presidential briefs with him all this time?

Why would you want him burning bridges before he has even weighed the trade-offs and alternatives?

And btw, isn’t Bush the sitting president?

Anyone trying to convince you otherwise is a fool.

Iran hasn’t threatened anyone outside of Israel with its missiles.

The Russians have threatened the Europeans, NATO and the U.S. with its nuclear missiles. Heck, the Russians established military doctrine is the use of nuclear weapons, including short-range missiles, to defend against a conventional attack on Russian soil or even a threatening presence in their “near abroad.” That would include Poland.

Polish President Lech Kaczynski is not fountain of wisdom and a good source of information. In all likelihood, Kaczynski probably thought he would get one over the new guy and try to make it sound he had a confirmation when in fact it never happened. Kaczynski is well known for similar attempts at manipulation and bullying in Polish politics. (actually these tactics are pretty much the norm in Poland). And the fact that the Obama team wouldn’t tolerate this attempt to back them into a corner speaks well of their spine. Putin will see no weakness in Obama’s rebuff of the Poles.

Bush does have two months to reply but he’s too busy letting his friends loot the Treasury one more time. Any threat of missile placement by Russia is in itself a bluff. Despite new found oil money, the Russian military lacks modern equipment and standards as demonstrated by the sunken sub and a dismal performance in Georgia (they made up for it with sheer numerical strength) Russia’s bluffing, Poland is bluffing and Obama knows it.

Their belief is that the attack and murder of 2,800 Americans on 911 was somehow Bush’s adn America’s fault and that our president somehow blew the WTC up and blamed the poor Islamic terrorists for it start a war with them in order to steal their oil. These people are insane adn pathological liars.
