I heard tonight that Conde Rice informed Russia that attacking Poland was the same as attacking the U.S. and would be considered aggression on U.S. Soil.

Interesting. The stand off begins.

Poland is a part of NATO and as such if she is invaded by Russia, We along with France, England, Germany, and 19 other countries are bound by treaty to come to her defense. Not just in a "we're with you buddy" but tanks planes and solders comitment.

I read on Fox this morning that the EU would not agree with the US about punitive punishment against Russia for Georgia because they get most of their oil from Russia. But they did issue a strong statement... (whew... thank goodness). That scared the crap out of them. I guess it was after that 'world shocking statement' that Russia decided to take over the port city and started digging in trenches around Gori (happening today). Kinda makes you wonder why they would be digging trenches today if they are leaving (as promised) tomorrow?? Eh??

Well, what can I say?? I told you so.

Eww... its getting chilly. Kinda feels like the 80's again. All we need is the little chipmunk to start running the "Duck and Cover" cartoons, and the cold war will be official.

I heard on the news last night Russia saying they would Nuke any WDS put in Warsaw by the U.S. and where leaving NATO.

This morning they have changed there mind saying they will not quit NATO and they would leave only if ousted by the NATO alliance.

Russia is not, nor ever has been a part of NATO.

They were talking about joining NATO in military exercises... not joining NATO.
