Nuclear Chicken In Poland: Putin Can't Afford To Back Down

If the Bush administration proceeds with its plan to deploy its Missile Defense System in Poland, Russian Prime Minister Putin will be forced to remove it militarily. He has no other option. The proposed system integrates the the entire US nuclear arsenal into one operational-unit a mere 115 miles from the Russian border. It's no different than Khrushchev's plan to deploy nuclear missiles in Cuba in the 1960s.

Early last year, at a press conference that was censored in the United States, Putin explained his concerns about Bush's plan:

"Once the missile defense system is put in place it will work automatically with the entire nuclear capability of the United States. It will be an integral part of the US nuclear capability....And, for the first time in history---and I want to emphasize this---there will be elements of the US nuclear capability on the European continent. It simply changes the whole configuration of international security..Of course, we have to respond to that."

The Missile Defense Shield

is a defensive system, not offensive. If Russia has a problem with it, it simply means, Russia has a problem with any nation exercising the right to defend itself. The threat to remove it militarily is a threat of war, an offensive action that would only justify the installation of a defense mechanism. Nothing could stop or prevent Russia to install its own defense shield. If Russia feels threatened by Poland's action, then Russia should do the same. Just another hint to the military ambition of Russia, something that must be kept in check. To read my posts and articles click here: http://www.xomba.com/xombyte/lmorovan
