imop Putin is a great diplomat, the west can deal with him ,but who knows who's comming after him at the end of the year, and i blame Bush for escalating the tensions
The costly antibalistic missile tests were reported moslty unreliable and failure, and instaling them in Europe is raising dangerous tensions ,
but maybe that's what Bush wants: spark a clash Euro/ Russia and eliminate competition
If the islamic fanatics get a nuke, won't deliver with a sophisticated balistic missile
