Hello, everyone.
This is my first post here.

Many things have changed since the break up of the USSR in 1991, but MSM still remains the same - CNN, FoxNews or ABC report only on side of the story, they claim that Russia is returning to the Cold War policies (which is not true) but they don't report the actions of the NATO countries.
I hope these two articles will help to understand the situation in the former "Soviet Block" and a realize a threat of a war between Russia and NATO.

NATO Build-Up On Russia's Borders
Worst Treachery Since Munich 1938

by Valentin Zorin

Allow me to start off with a personal recollection. I accompanied Mikhail Gorbachev on his visit to the United States of America almost seventeen years ago, and attended, as another adviser, Gorbachev’s meetings with George Bush Sr., and that gave me a rare chance to watch what historians of the future will surely be inclined to describe as the biggest breach of confidence and compare to the notoriously known Munich agreement between France and Britain, on the one hand, and Nazi Germany, on the other.

Mikhail Gorbachev and George Bush Sr. focused on the reunification of divided Germany. President Bush saw the reunification of Germany as a fundamental factor of continental stability and global detente.

He repeatedly assured Soviet leader Gorbachev that the reunification of Germany would never take the North Atlantic Alliance closer to the Soviet border. I can still open my old notebook or play back an old tape to recall what he said: “The allied forces will not be inching closer to your border.”

The arrival of NATO forces at the border of Russia translates into more than a threat to the Russian Federation. Russia will find a way to meet this threat. The American super-hawks had better remember that Russia remains a powerful country with impressive stocks of nuclear missiles.

House endorses further NATO expansion

Mar 6, 2007

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The House of Representatives on Tuesday voted to endorse further enlargement of the NATO alliance, after a brief debate in which no one mentioned Moscow's nervousness about such an expansion.

On a voice vote, the House backed a resolution calling for the "timely admission" to the alliance of Albania, Croatia, Macedonia, and two former republics of the old Soviet Union, Georgia and Ukraine. Identical legislation was approved by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday.

The goal is to encourage those five countries to continue working to join the military alliance, the legislation's sponsor, Rep. John Tanner, a Tennessee Democrat, said.

"It is a statement from Congress that we believe what they are doing is important, and we believe they are moving in the right direction," Tanner told the House during debate.

Recently Moscow's leadership has harshly criticized U.S. foreign policy, including its support for another round of NATO enlargement. "We have the right to ask, against whom is this expansion directed," Russian President Vladimir Putin said in widely-noted speech last month to a conference in Europe.
NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, was set up in 1949 as a military alliance to deter the Soviet Union from expanding into Western Europe.

But lawmakers said the U.S. resolution was a routine expression of support for the next crop of NATO aspirants. NATO has expanded before into Eastern Europe, including right up to Russia's borders when the former Soviet states of the Baltics joined NATO in 2004.

If Ukraine will become a NATO member then NATO troops will be 465 km from the gates of Moscow and 320 km to the gates of "Stalingrad"....

The thought was entertained, but the Checkeslovakia Govt was vehemently opposed and others were not that thrilled! It was kind of a *If they join we can watch em closer* kind of thing!

Yesterday they sent one of their bombers over the USS Nimitz at 2000 ft in sort of an old Cold War tactic! How long before the Russians take Putins ass out as they know they can't afford war and they need to guard the Chinese border first!!

Putin is out of there anyway. His term expires in March but I've read he's going to try to wrangle himself into the PM spot.
