If the Europeans dont want it, let them handle affairs by themselves. | they can buy a defense system i they want. they have money for that.
but my question is why to push russia if the soviet union falled in 92 and they are a democratic free nation ? if iran cant drop bombs in europe, why do this missile defence ?
doesnt been more logical invite russia to nato and incentivate them to cooperate with the atlantic alliance ?

Country: | treat them as enemies and they will behave as enemies. the Soviet Union no longer exists, why keep Russia away from Western powers decisions ?

Country:  | USA to invite RUSSIA into NATO???
Personally, I find that SO impossible to happen.....
USA doesn't want Russia and Russia doesn't want USA, that is how the things are. | |

Country:  | well they plan to use the Cuban bases mainly for the refuelling purposes for the Atlantic patrol flights, it's what they did every year in 70ies and 80ies, so no really Cuban crisis here. | |

But we sure don't stage B-1s, B-2s or B-52s at any of those bases. Sure we could in time of need. But to do so would only provoke Russia and China. So why would they do the same to provoke us.
And if they do stage Tu-95s or Tu-160s in Cuba, then I say gloves are off for those Russian effers.

I would think theres been nukes in Cuba for some time ..??? Could be wrong...Lots about this world we do not know about.. Matt you most know how "I" feel as long as I've been here and the way me and Kurska went at it some time back .. The kick America gets old.. | |

Country: | I think we should offer to build a new base for the Russian planes. The threat of Russian bombers in Cuba is a joke. I'm more afraid of Venezuela and Russia strengthening ties.
IMO we'll get cozy with cuba after Fidel kicks it.
