Seems Russia is trying to move pressure the Ukrainians back into their 'bloc' as such.

Does anyone notice over the last few days how tension between the US and Russia is escalating?

Why has the Bush admin said nothing about these incidents yet?

Is no one concerned with how fast the Russians are whipping out the threats and subtle but significant actions?

Here is a story from Fox today:

U.S. Navy Intercepts Russian Bombers Flying Near Ships

Russia threatens nuclear attack on Ukraine if the former Soviet republic joins Nato and allows deployment of United States anti-missile defenses on its territory. Mr Yushchenko the sane and normal President of Ukraine "responded to the Russian pressure by insisting on Ukraine's right to decide its own foreign policy while stressing that his country's constitution would not allow US military bases on its territory".

I still remember when I first heard the Shrubnyk say that he looked into Putin's eyes and he fell in love with that KGB slug.

With the Democrats potentially getting elected .
With the USA potentially proving to the "world" it can't fight the weakest of enemies.
With the constant drum beat of the left in the USA for appeasment, surrender, and bash the USA.

Get used to it.

USA under the Democrats will be a doormat.


(maybe though it will help wake people up to the realities of this world and not fall for the simplistic stupidity of Obama or the empty lines of Hillary.
IOW the More often this crap occurs the more people will look to a sound sensible leader like McCain.)

Beyodn that we should redouble our efferts to get Ukraine into NATO as fast as possible. Sooner the better as the longer it take the more likely Russia will use the opportunity to destabilize the Ukraine.
If you dont know what I mean Russia directly and bluntly makes it clear they want the Crimea ..and has made motions about the eastern half of the Ukraine being theirs as well.

If this really was something big than Bush would be talking about it.

Hmm... Is the bombing Yugoslavia or Iraq more civilized action? Do you think that civilized and barbarian nations are in the world? Now I remember about the Roman Empire. There was a definite division between citizens of Roma and barbarians there. But at the end the barbarians overrun the Empire. So do not underestimate "barbarians"...

Some of your current leaders have the same eyes impression. The authorities have less differents than we get accustomed to think...
