This may be a ploy to make the Golfer and Chief look tough when dealing with the Russians.

MOSCOW – Russia's top military officer has threatened to carry out a pre-emptive strike on U.S.-led NATO missile defense facilities in Eastern Europe if Washington goes ahead with its controversial plan to build a missile shield.
President Dmitry Medvedev said last year that Russia will retaliate militarily if it does not reach an agreement with the United States and NATO on the missile defense system.
Chief of General Staff Nikolai Makarov went even further Thursday. "A decision to use destructive force pre-emptively will be taken if the situation worsens," he said at an international conference attended by senior U.S. and NATO officials.
Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov also warned on Thursday that talks between Moscow and Washington on the topic are "close to a dead end."
U.S. missile defense plans in Europe have been one of the touchiest subjects in U.S.-Russian relations for years.

Be kind of darkly funny if they started WWIII by pressing Hillary’s “Reset Button”.
This may be a ploy to make the Golfer and Chief look tough when dealing with the Russians.
Countdown to Barry folding like the empty suit he is.
What we and Europe get, when the U.S. has a Commie President.
Why, he’d never stiff US allies. He’s proven that so often in the past./s
%$&*# Russia. Really, bring it on punks.
I think it f*rts instead of beeps. LOL.
It’s hard to say. Russia tends to rattle its cage the loudest on actions it’s least likely to act on.
Russia really isn’t in position to fight a big regional war.
It sounds like a *calculated bluff*, for 0bummer’s benefit in the GE, doesn’t it? I think the Russkies know better than to try to pull that crap with our Military, but with the Traitor-In-Chief, one never knows. Gives me the creeps.
“econd-Say erm-Tay, utin-Pay” whispered Obama.
This Russian should be advised that Russia is a signatory to many treaties that prohibit aggressive warfare, and if it is to violate such treaties, it should consider abrogating them first, lest its leaders be subject to international war crimes trial.
I’ve now got the image of Claude Rains in “invisible Man”, in 1933, with an empty suit walking around. LOL.
Or this one:

"tell him to wait a couple of weeks....make a threat....I won't say or do anything like I usually do.....then make a bigger threat, let's say, end of June.....you guys start military maneuvers, the people in Europe start to protest....and then I suspend elections for one year, I'll lose eventually, but by then our military will be half of what it is now, our economy will be destroyed, and the vote whores in our government will deal anything you want to keep the people from storming DC in an effort to appease Putin.......you will destroy the photo's right?"
If he gets another 4yrs, we’re going to have a living hell.
Look at that vein bulging in Medvedev’s neck. I think Medvedev’s getting a thrill up his leg too, like Prissy-Chrissy got. LOL. Yuk.
If he gets another 4yrs, there may be a lot of folks going to the Green Wood and Plucking Yew.
COPY AND PASTE of my post on the other Breaking News Thread. I wonder how many people know the following;
SO...
1.) China announces several years back that they had begun an economic war against the US.
2.) Russia has been threatening NATO in regards to missile defense sites in Europe.
3.) NATO is meeting in Chicago at McCormick Place on the Near South Side in 2 weeks.
4.) There are planned “military exercises” for the NEXT week/weekend involving Russian paratroopers using US weapons and armament to “take and hold” the CIA main computer building in CO, the NSA main computer building in Utah, as well as Denver International Airport. Add to that the Chinese DESTROYERS, SUBS, and HOSPITAL SHIP that are sailing across the Pacific at this moment?
Anyone else a little confused as to how our President or our military can justify holding joint military exercises with countries who are threatening our safety and stability, and that of the entire Western World?
This smells to high heaven, especially when you add in the ties between these countries and terrorists, Fast and Furious and the connection between cartels and terrorist cells, Obama’s insistence on NOT enforcing illegal immigration laws...
Am I alone in seeing this, or are others (esp. current or former military personnel) seeing how bad this may indeed be. I fear that Obama is enough of an idiot to LET Russia and China take over thinking they’ll let him have a piece of the pie or something.
In other words am I the ONLY one that doesn’t trust the Russians and Chinese to actually LET GO of those sites once they’re inside???
I simply decline to make a fetish of parsing my words.
If I were the US president, I would instruct my embassador to Russia to inform the Russian president that he really does not want to attack the American military, in any country. And if he believes otherwise, he would be well advised to reconsider.
Like I said, I am not a fan, at all, of diplomat-speak. In any context, whatsoever...
Just wow.
I know the 4 points you list, and have read/watched/monitored #3 part of #4 for the past few weeks on several sites.
What I’m not familiar with, is this part of #4:
“Add to that the Chinese DESTROYERS, SUBS, and HOSPITAL SHIP that are sailing across the Pacific at this moment?”
What’s that all about? First I’ve heard of it...
I’d love to be “a fly on the wall” in those smoke-filled meeting rooms, hearing the truth instead of politic-speak BS we get fed.
Obama will answer this by giving Russia more of our technology. I guess the drone he gave Iran wasn’t enough. Pretty sad that when speaking of Obama, we have to say “he” instead of “we” or “us”. Damn sad.
He’s downright and outright treasonous; yes, it’s sad that our CIC is a POS. This poseur-president actually makes BJ look not-so-bad, in comparison. And that’s really sad.
Yeah, that red button was visually the wrong message to send, no matter what it explained in words along with it. Some stuff out there works in irony and dangerous jokes that have subconscious meanings.
I wonder if we’ll ever be able to repair the dame to ourselves and to our allies, done by the Creep-In-Chief?
Of course he will. No islamic turd like Obama ever hated a statement of forced “love” or relationship.
The Russians are saying: let us play with your toys or we destroy you because you are mean.
This is sucker language for Zero.
dame = damage. (Something burped and it wasn’t me)
OK.....thats way enough of this pretend President. We need a real american leader or we are absolute toast. Another 4 years and the damage we have seen so far will pale in comparison to what will be exponentialy more damaging in the lomger term. I already do not recognize my country, and in a few short years if he is still pretending to be the president, we are done....completely done. I pray and cry for my 5 grandchildren.

Russian Troops to ‘Seize’ CIA Facility in Elaborate War Game on US Soil

I’ll try to track down more links... Check the FR thread though that’s where I first heard of Chinese ships, but after following all the links that day I remember seeing that confirmed by numerous sources.

Worth noting is Russia earlier this week launched military exercises in collaboration with the Chinese navy. Chinese state broadcaster CCTV said the six days of drills, which began Sunday, feature simulated anti-aircraft, anti-submarine and search-and-rescue operations, including electronic countermeasures and other sensitive technologies.
Retired major general Yin Zhuo said it shows a high degree of trust between the sides.
“It’s an excellent exchange for China to be able to drill jointly in such sensitive areas,” Yin told CCTV.
China’s Defense Ministry said China was sending two submarines and 16 ships to take part, including destroyers, escort vessels and hospital ships. The deputy chiefs of the countries’ navies oversaw the start of drills in the northeastern Chinese port of Qingdao, the home of China’s northern fleet.
Send in the Occupiers as shields. They trained to protest US use of force. Maybe they could convince their like minded brethren. Kind of like double agent useful idiots.
SURE??
Why not when you have a wooos for a U.S. Pres? ha.
Hey, that’s not a golf towel Obama is waving...It’s a white flag!
Wonder how well maintained those ABM installations ringing Moscow are?
I agree with you there. It’s certainly not impossible for Russia to strike, when it takes Obama two weeks to decide what he is having for breakfast.
Yup. And it looks like the civilians aren’t in command of the Russian military any more. Oh, well. Th preezy will back down.
Obama will cave quicker than you can say - Marxist!
This will play out as Obama being the tough hero, I think, to aid in his reelection. Then, as he said to the Russians, he’ll have more room.
I suspect the Russians are following a script to help Obama, since he’s already cut a deal with them. The Russians are adding insurance that he’ll get elected.
They can’t count on Romney, if indeed he’s the nominee, to play along.
No, you ain’t the only one.
I read a long article by Pootie recently in which he laid out his case as to why Russia cannot and will not permit themselves to be ringed by so-called defensive missile sites. I would not call his bluff.
Over to you,Vlad.
Time to retarget out ICBMs and Cruise Missiles.
%$&*# Russia. Really, bring it on punks.
We’re likely to get our ass kicked with 0bama in charge.
