“they” support it as long as we build it. pay for it, maintain it and man it.
Well I wouldn’t want them manning it, or repairing it myself. They could pay some kind of service fee though.
Star Wars Part Deux is reaching the absurd.
The Czech radar positioning south of the Polish missile base is intended to serve as early warning of missiles from the South east.
Namely, the phantom Iranian missile with the phantom nukes, not to mention phantom nukes fitted for a warhead on a missile.
This position was to assure the Russians that the missile defense was useless against them. Let alone they could make the system useless with one conventional missile strike. Heck, we offered them the same system—because, of course, it’s not about the security, it’s about the money.
The Russians must know this, but feel their turf is being invaded.
It’s the end of a joke. The Star Wars Part Deux money brought in Bush, but not Obama. Star Wars will wane. Obama’s peeps are the carbon traders, that will come.
Again, Balkans. The political heavyweights behind that war were the Germans and Brits, and today years later when there is anything negative do you think a German politician is going to justify anything or make any public statement why it was right, needed, etc? Hell no. They will stand out front in some demonstration for the victims of depleted uranium or some other made up crap.
But it's worse than this. They “expect” us to do the right thing. They demand that we be there for them when called upon like in the Balkan crisis, and while they do nothing or as little as possible they are often profiteering economically as in Iraq before 2003, Cuba, or elsewhere. Let us deal with the real problems, while they do as little as possible and profiteer.
