Obama makes clear that Missile Shield is about Russia, not Iran

rudkla — 2010-01-30T08:38:00Z

While the Bush administration claimed that the missile shield was about dealing with a threat from Iran, Obama has made it clear that it is about a threat from Russia, or at least a perceived threat.

Reset means obedience

The American Conservative
by Daniel Larison

What may be most remarkable about this is that [Joe Bidens comment about Russias withering economy is] not being treated as one of Bidens legendary gaffes, but rather as an appropriate and acceptable comment. As I was saying earlier this week, the administration must think that Russias relatively greater weakness at present will make it more compliant, but I never expected any of its top members to come out and say exactly that. Bizarrely, Biden was offering all of this as evidence in favor of why the reset was going to work. In other words, for Biden the reset has always meant Russian concessions and submission, and it will work because Russia lacks the means to do anything else. This is staggeringly wrong. It seems likely that the reset will now blow up in Obamas face...

Ship of Fools

The Russians, overflowing with energy and mineral resources, and not in debt, have learned that the US government is not to be trusted. Russia has watched Reagan's successors attempt to turn former constituent parts of the Soviet Union into US puppet states with US military bases.

Joe Biden tells Munich conference: 'US will talk to Iran and ally with Russia against terror'

By Philip Sherwell

He indicated that the US would press ahead with plans for a missile defence project based in Poland and the Czech Republic, while adding riders about the cost and effectiveness of the programme. Moscow was enfuriated when the Bush administration announced the scheme, although the Kremlin has taken a more conciliatory approach since Mr Obama entered the White House.

Russia to Raise Nuclear Missile Output Fourfold

rudkla — 2008-12-25T09:28:00Z

Tom Parfitt and Julian Borger, The Guardian UK: "Russia has thrown down a new gauntlet to Barack Obama with an announcement that it will sharply increase production of strategic nuclear missiles. In the latest of a series of combative moves by the Kremlin, a senior government official in Moscow said the Russian military would commission 70 strategic missiles over the next three years, as part of a massive rearmament program which will also include short-range missiles, 300 tanks, 14 warships and 50 planes."

The Cold War that wasnt

The Nation
by Mark Ames

10/22/08

You may not have noticed it, but a couple of weeks ago, the New York Times slipped in a story that completely contradicted a narrative that it had been building up for two straight months, one that was leading America into another war a so-called New Cold War. The article exposed the awful authoritarian reality of Georgias so-called democracy, painting a dark picture of President Mikhail Saakashvilis rule that repudiated the fairy tale that the Times and everyone else in the major media had been pushing ever since war broke out in South Ossetia in early August. That fairy tale went like this: Russia (evil) invaded Georgia (good) for no reason whatsoever except that Georgia was free. Putin hates freedom, and Saakashvili is the democratically elected leader of a small, democratic country. Yes, it was only a month ago that we were stupid and crazy enough to think that the United States had no choice but to launch a costly new cold war against a nuclear power, even though we still havent closed the deal on a couple of mini-wars against Division-III opponents, and we were on the verge of bankruptcy...
