Ärende: Russia attacking Poland
===============================
Hello Nerman,

>AP>Since Poland said yes to our missile defense system... do you
>AP>think Russia would have the balls to actually attack Poland?
>AP>They are making  some very threatening statements.

>BA>If Putin does decide to do that I wonder what Bush minor could
>BA>possibly do about it - short of letting fly a couple of thousand
>BA>nuclear tipped missiles.

HN>If Putin does attack Poland?

Why would Putin attack Poland?  No need to do so, given that Poland
will come to him.  The law of self-preservation, you know what I mean?

HN>No doubt that means an new global war. (NATO)

There will be no new global war.  Putin will get what he wants.
Without firing a shot.  Just look at the fickle response of the
West over Russia's limited invasion of Georgia.  That should tell
you something.  It certainly tells the leaders of every country
in Eastern Europe something.

NATO has chosen to do nothing concerning the Russian invasion of
Georgia.  The European Union has chosen to do nothing concerning the
Russian invasion of Georgia.  The USA has chosen to do nothing
concerning the Russian invasion of Georgia.  Why should anything be
different when Poland decides to accomodate the wishes of The Russian
Bear?  And what about Ukraine?  And Hungary?  And Romania?  And
Bulgaria?  And other Eastern European countries?  Self-preservation
is key.  Better to accomodate The Russian Bear than face annihilation.
Especially knowing that NATO, the EU, and the USA are a bunch of
pussies.

>AP>Unfortunately the US is barely in a position to patrol it's own
>AP>borders  much less protect anyone else.

>BA>The US military is pretty well tied down in southwest Asia, and
>BA>will be for the forseeable future.  The numbers of US troops
>BA>needed to fight the Red Army (and the supplies to support them)
>BA>simply don't exist.

HN>What is "Red Army"? (There isn't a Soviet army any more;-)

It is the New Red Army.  NRA for short.  ;)

HN>There might be a short of US troops today (many more NATO members have a
HN>shortage of troops, like my country has) but US has still an overkill with
HN>nukes. So has the ex-USSR. But possible the readyness is of such calibre
HN>that using those weapons is more dangerous to Russia itself.

Not with the new missiles the NRA has today.

>BA>In point of fact, should Putin decide to send the Red Army into
>BA>Poland, I don't see any military reason for them to stop short of
>BA>the North Sea and English channel They might hit a few speed bumps
>BA>along the way but the forces - short of those nuclear tipped
>BA>missiles - that could stop them don't exist.

HN>So the only way to stop Putin's army is to nuke Putin's homeland.

Hopefully before Putin's army can nuke us back.

HN>And than?

Nuke Chairman Mao's homeland.

HN>Just: "Goodbye Earth Globe!"

Nah.  Just turn it into a giant ashtray.
