hi Rodahn! Sorry. I was away.. Polish feelings towards Russia... Have a look at Polish history - the occupation of Poland in the 18th century - then count the number of rebellions til 1918, then add the Polish-Russian wars (which Poland won - and officers of which were particularly rounded up by...

Nuking Poland.. a bit silly that - which way are the prevailing winds? Where do the pipelines run... where do your connections to your primary trade partner pass-through.... The rather hot summer of 2008 has clearly affected some brains..  As for the Ukraine. frankly I can see dismemberment...

The Georgian prisoners - never see them again... As to accusations of NATO bias - well great big whoppy-do....

"Well if we are kicking people out of the G8-we should note that Canada really doesn't belong either.   There are many countries that are more deserving." - actually that depends on how you measure wealth - I'd say based on mineral wealth alone it is certainly a top country - Intellectual...

i know where I'd like to throw him and several other experts of his ilk.. Incidentally, I was downtown today (i live in Poland) I noticed that the tourist signs are no longer in Polish, English and German, but  are now Polish, English and Russian - Oh and the bank lady is taking Russian lessons ...

The latest: Russia moves SS-21 missiles into Georgia: US defense official 2 hours, 8 minutes ago WASHINGTON (AFP) - Russia has moved short-range SS-21 missiles into South Ossetia, possibly putting the Georgian capital Tbilisi in range, a US defense official said Monday. The development...

Well, this got me to re-read about the U-137 incident (Whiskey on the rocks http://compunews.com/s139/sp2.htm). The port of Kaliningrad itself is  almost closed by the Vistula spit - the Strait of Baltiysk requires constant dredging - is (as a quick source: Wikipedia...

I would imagine the Cuban government values its friendship with Canada more than that of Russia -as Canada is a major trade partner - and Cuba is a major tourist destination for Canada and Europe (and it's got oil). I doubt they would jeopardize all this for Mr. Putin's rhetoric... It would be...

Well, perhaps Europe is developing a backbone: http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/afp/080817/world/georgia_russia_conflict_nato: Georgia 'will join NATO': Merkel 1 hour, 16 minutes ago TBILISI (AFP) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Sunday assured Georgia would join NATO as she strongly backed...

Another aspect of this conflict and look at these enclaves - if I recall correctly, the same could be said about Muldavia: August 16, 2008 Op-Ed Contributor When the War Ends, Start to Worry By MICHAEL BRONNER EVEN as Russia and Georgia continue their on-again, off-again struggle over South...

what was that group - "Big in Japan" was the repeated lyric - I always heard as "Big in 'Depends"  I finally figured out the words to that Nirvana  "Smells like Teen Spirit" from theUkele Orchestra version http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=TLQ2eh5LfZY&feature=related

Is everything used all the time? It is not as if police requirements for armoured vehicles are an everyday occurrence. American cities are more prone to violence - do they use armoured vehicles all the time? If the need comes up, the go-ahead no doubt will be given - my memory is hazy, but I...

i wonder why their specifications do not state being capable of being transported by C-130? Iif this is for tactical response purposes then isn't  hitching a ride on C-130 the best way to cover all of Canada? Instead of making such a purchase, the more effective solution would be to make...

Some more on the accusations of genocide: Mythmaking in Moscow Georgia wasn't committing 'genocide,' and the Russians aren't keeping the peace. Saturday, August 16, 2008; A14 THE EVENTS of the past week in the small Caucasus republic of Georgia will prompt animated debates about Russia and...

Possibly another reason is the propellant used - or how it is contained -and no doubt an absence of appropriate fire suppression systems. The carousel system I'd say makes it somewhat vulnerable to mines (tilt mines in particular). I'd say it makes it difficult to reload too. Poland offers a...

You are referring to the concept of MAD... The anti-missile missile based from what I've read on the Standard-2er or an enhanced Patriot doesn't have the range to take out any Russian - based system save anything in Kaliningrad - and there the reaction time is too minimal - not to mention that...

The scenes displayed and activities shown are very much like those I am reading about as i deal with translations of the German and early Russian occupation of Poland. Mankind hasn't changed much. The Russian government seems to play international brinkmanship games, but their investment in...

Is it anything new? Russian weapons were in DDR etc during the Cold war, American/NATO weapons were in BRD. These antimissile-missiles are not nuclear tipped. Poland is a member of NATO. The site is close enough to Russian territory that should they wish to take it out, they could easily do so...

Which would be idiotic of course, as which way are the prevailing winds - and where are all the Russo-German pipelines buried and Russo-German transport links - they'd be cut off from their Mercedes, BMW's and Porches and hand-crafted yachts - and then there are the Russian investments in...
