i find it interesting that no one cares to mention how our brazen foreign policy the past 6 years has led to new arms race for the entire globe... Cheney's well-thought-out comments about Putin cutting energy supplies to its people was another brilliant step in that direction...
hooray neocon thought!!! let's pick a fight with everyone!!! good for all of us!!!
Tardo, do you read the news? Putin has been cutting fuel supplies.

What has Russia done wrong? They are democratic now and have no interest in warring with the U.S. Ok, they want to have influence over their smaller neighbors, but so do we... Latin America anyone?

Why have a military buildup when there is no longer a threat from anywhere in Europe? What a waste of money.

What military build up? And why a threat in Europe? Ever heard of an RDF? Rapid Deployment Force? We've been in western Europe as a result of the Cold War. Well, the CW is over, and we've therefore been redeploying our forces to more strategically advantageous locations. Obvioulsy Eastern Europe is a more geographically satisfying location than Germany. Furthermore, the cost of doing business is far cheaper. We're not building up a military presence, so much as we've relocated, and reorganized it.
BTW, this is a missle defense shield Putin is crying about. If he's so upset, why hasn't he been more helpful with Tehran? If nuclear nonproliferation were a priority as it should be, then there wouldn't be a need to have a missle defense system.

We don't need bases in Eastern Europe either. That continent is done with warfare. Ok, maybe in Serbia but that's it.

Well, we could use them in the ME, but I'm not sure that's such a good idea. How about Kazakastan? Hmmm....that didn't go to well either. So lets see, where can we strategically place a base, where the people there want us, and where the commute to troublespots in question won't be too long?
Ta-da! Bulgaria!
Bulgaria OKs 3 bases for U.S. troops
By Nicholas Kralev
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
April 24, 2006
Bulgaria has agreed to open three military bases to permanent use by 2,500 U.S. troops who would be available for combat in the Middle East and other nearby regions. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will seal the deal when she visits the country this week.

Turkey. We've had bases in Turkey for a long time and we've had no problems. I think we should scale back from Middle East intervention too, but Turkey is a perfect place to host the military for (note to Republicans) EMERGENCY situations only.

First of all, Russia is not democratic. Not even close. Russian politics work on extortion, bribes, and poison. Someone here's going to say America's like that, but Russia is a hundred times worse. Second, Russia is aggressive and has no problem pushing countries around - the only thing that limits how much they're willing to push is how much they can get away with. I'm not saying we should attack them, but that kind of bullying you can only repond to with might. You can bet if Russia had the opportunity to get something out of us by coersion, they would, and for me that's enough reason to have a missile defense shield SPECIFICALLY for them. There's no being friends with the current Russian leadership.
