    Today FSB has a big problem, because more and more Russians wish Freedom, Democracy and Friendship with the West.

    Russian's already have freedoms & democracy but all the missile interceptor bases NATO is surrounding Russia with & the nature of western reporting kind of stretches the friendship with the west bit.

    Clearly you do not feel comfortable with us giving you security !!
    I am not convinced that NATO is interested by Russian crocodile tears .
    If we can secure Finland , Estonia , Georgia and get rid of dumb arse Yanukovych , we can sleep happy .

    No tears mate, the Russians are simply targeting those NATO interceptor missile sites with short range nuclear missiles. I live in Australia & what NATO does to antagonize Russia & force it to spend more money on it's military instead of infrastructure or services does not affect me except that if one of those small countries bordering Russia decides to start a war like Georgia did in 2008 & Russia is forced to launch a preemptive strike against the NATO interceptor missile sites to preserve it's nuclear deterrent Australia could be affected by some of the radio active fall out.
    You are poking a bear, the bear can bite back & that is not looking after Australia's security.

    The so called Bear had his teeth and claws removed a long time ago .
    Georgia did not start the '08 war and Russia took a good hammering for 48 hours until they launched the Cyber attack which completely shattered the Georgian Government and Military communications systems .
    And when Bush told Putin to get the hell out of there , when they looked certain to take Tiblisi , he was forced to face reality . Beating up a minnow is one thing , taking on the US another .
    With the price of Oil as it is now , Putin's budget is in tatters and his attempts to completely reorganise the military and its equipment will have to be further delayed .The extent of their shortcomings only became apparent in the Georgian incident aftermath .Makarov's report and its endorsement by Putin and Medvedev are all in the public domain .Their army would be eaten for breakfast by NATO.

    Georgia started that war in 2008 & apart from shooting Russian UN peace keepers in the back, ambushing one tank column & murdering a lot of South Ossetian civilians the doped up Georgian troops just dropped their guns & ran when the Russians finally arrived.. What Suckassvilli did achieve was waking up the Russian bear & the Russian military is now being reorganized & rebuilt.

    Medvedev stopped after securing a buffer zone around South Ossetia & Abkhazia.

    What Russia can or cannot do against the US or NATO with conventional forces is not the point. The US anti missile system reduces greatly the available response time for Russia to get it's missiles off the ground in the event of a NATO attack because the anti missile system will have to be taken out first. What this means is that Russia will have to respond (launch missiles) to the anticipation of an attack rather than the actual attack in order to have a credible nuclear deterrence. You throw a hateful little country such as Lithuania into the mix & all hell could break loose.
