Maybe because Russia is arming Iran with nukes, North Korea with long-range missiles, rockets for Syria to pass on to Hizballah, bombs for Sudan to drop on Darfur, submarines for Red China, fighter jets and thousands of machineguns for Hugo Chavez, etc., etc. Think that has anything to do with it?

Are you saying so Russia will back off arming Iran with nukes, North Korea with long-range missiles, rockets for Syria to pass on to Hizballah, bombs for Sudan to drop on Darfur, submarines for Red China, fighter jets and thousands of machineguns for Hugo Chavez, etc., etc.

Could be, but I would rather we confront them directly rather than using Serbia and Poland, who have been our friends in the past, as patsies in our foreign policy with Russia.

It seems to me they have already been through enough in the last century, being sandwiched between Western Europe and Russia.
