The news the MSM isn’t reporting is almost criminal in their neglect of the warning they have an obligation to pass along to the American people. It seems that the Bush administration is pressing ahead with plans to implement a missile shield that Russia states will be met with retaliation: Washington wants to locate interceptor missiles in Poland and a radar system in the Czech Republic as part of a shield it says is essential to protect Europe from rocket attacks by what is calls “rogue states” such as Iran and North Korea. Russia believes the shield is targeted against its missile arsenal and poses a threat to its national security. President Vladimir Putin has suggested there would be unspecified retaliatory measures if the shield goes ahead. Putin last month drew a parallel between the U.S. missile shield and the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, widely regarded as the closest the world has come to nuclear war. LINK If you read this article from Yahoo News, it raises concerns, but when you begin to understand the scope and depth of the matter, it gets worse. Below are excepts from Putin’s annual questions and answer session, which is carried live on Russian television. Keep in mind that in the above statement, Putin spoke of : “unspecified retaliatory measures if the shield goes ahead” and then tied it the the US/Russian Cuban Missile Crisis: “Putin last month drew a parallel between the U.S. missile shield and the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, widely regarded as the closest the world has come to nuclear war” Those are mighty strong words, especially when you take into consideration this statement made on November the 13th:
The above statement would make it appear that their have been countries that have approached Russia and sought their protection from the United States, and Russia is telling them it’s their problem except for Iran, unless he has recently switched positions. Of importance is that that Russia seriously considers the United States as being a serious enough risk to publicly state that Russia has no obligation to protect the world from US aggression; this is getting ugly! And then, after you’ve digested that, Putin held his annual televised question and answer session for the Russian people, and some of his statement are particularly telling:
Some of Mr. Putin’s words were vague, but we have to ask ourselves what “defending themselves” actually means; if Putin compares it to the Cuban Missile Crisis and places that much importance in it as did President Kennedy’s position on that historic matter, it could mean retaliatory action for simply deploying the system. It’s hard to tell how serious Putin is, and where rhetoric begins and reality becomes the product of his “promises” to the Russian people.
http://justanothercoverup.com/ I am nothing more than a patriotic American that is doing whatever I can to further the cause of democracy, the rule of law, and am absolutely outraged on how the Bush administration is defying our Congress, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights! Footnote: I write in a style that I believe is appropriate in today's world where we can't trust the Mainstream News Media, and rather than concentrating on one article alone, which may or may not receive the exposure and emphasis it should, I prefer to meld several relevant stories together, that each taken alone may not expose the entire situation, but when taken-in as a whole, tend to give the reader a better understanding of the subject. One article or story alone does not represent the "Big Picture" - but when several are effectively tied-together it often reveals a trend or broader view of the subject matter that is important to completely understand any given situation. http://justanothercoverup.com/
