The timing here is beautiful. The exercises reportedly transpired during the 70th anniversary of the Russian invasion of Poland… also the same day that President Obama killed plans for Polish based missile defense.
The [Russian] armed forces are said to have carried out “war games” in which nuclear missiles were fired and troops practised an amphibious landing on the country’s coast. Documents obtained by Wprost, one of Poland’s leading news magazines, said the exercise was carried out in conjunction with soldiers from Belarus.
Russian general says Poland a nuclear ‘target’ The manoeuvres are thought to have been held in September and involved about 13,000 Russian and Belarusian troops.
Poland, which has strained relations with both countries, was cast as the “potential aggressor”.
Poland is scared, and for good reason. After decades of repressive Soviet occupation, the Poles invested everything in tightened defensive ties with NATO and the United States. Now the Russian Bear is once again pounding down their door, and — after Poland loyally committed whole battalions to both Afghanistan and Iraq — America is nowhere to be seen.
This is how Putin operates. He messages with force. These exercises could have been held anywhere in Russia’s yawing territorial expanse. Poland was chosen with reason, as it serves as a bulwark of freedom and Western values in an area Russia still considers its own.
Will Russia fight? Only if we make it 100% clear that we won’t stop them – right now, Russia is barely kept afloat by relatively high oil prices. Other than that, Russia’s got nothing going for it…and tyrannical regimes with not much going for them do often cast about for a foreign enemy to distract and unify the people. Now Obama’s craven abandonment of Poland is exposed.
Poland has been a bulwark of the West for a thousand years – an outpost of our civilization. To abandon Poland, as the West did in the past, is to abandon the lynch pin in that area of the world. Obama, ignorant of the most basic facts of history, doesn’t understand this – and thus he’s thrown Poland to the Russian bear in hopes that the bear will make nice with him.

NKorea claims to expand arsenal of atomic bombs
Nov 3 12:21 PM US/Eastern
By JAE-SOON CHANG
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) – North Korea claimed Tuesday that it has successfully weaponized more plutonium for atomic bombs, a day after warning Washington to agree quickly to direct talks or face the prospect of a growing North Korean nuclear arsenal.
The announcement underlined Pyongyang’s impatience over securing one-on-one talks with Washington, as well as the difficulties in dealing with a regime that resorts to threats and provocations to get what it wants.
It’s no secret that the entire world views Obama as a patsy. All they have to do is feign some somblance of a desire to be diplomatic, and then proceed to do whatever they want. Easy. Obama is being played for a fool, and is unaware of it.
its kind of hard to miss the fact that the old guard of the ussr is at the reigns of russia…dreaming of its old glory days as a world power….as they thought they were…indeed…any government with that many nuclear weapons should be feared…but the trouble is…we let them induce us into a false sense of security….and now that we have supported them and helped to grow thier wealth…they will continue on in their ways…you cant leave such a huge stockpile of weapons in the hands of those who can not be trusted…and certainly…the events of the last few years show us explicitly…we cannot trust them
the bush era missle defense plan was already rendered obsolete by further military developments.
gates clearly stated that anyone who says we’re abandoning our allies or missle defense is either mistaken or intentionally misrepresenting reality.

Talking point from someone too lazy to use a shift key and proper punctuation.
