I'm curious, if anyone knows (I won't risk venturing into DU).
My opinion? They only protest against the USA. {Lunatics)

Firmly and completely in the corner with Putin.
If you go around the internet and read some of the news sites, then hit the comments, you will find the Russians are doing this already. They are slamming the US with false information, and the left is taking this stuff up and sucking it down.
The left is continually saying things like “Why do we care what happens there?” and “The Georgians killed Russians, what did you expect the Russians to do? Sit on their asses?”
The News Agency TASS is taking it all in stride and their old propagandists are back in action again. I watched some of their news last night. Shameless USSR propaganda up to it’s old spin.
The dems are already urging restraint on the installation, citing it as still an unproven system. This will end up as a bargaining chip for something. Of course the russians have nothing to offer. Have they blocked access to the space station yet?
Where do you think they stand on it? Here's a link from Drudge on that:
After that they they start getting irrational.
The left can be expected to be literally apoplectic over anything that overly upsets their communist friends.
