Poland Needs Shield: Russia Now a Rogue Nation

In addition to making threats of attacks against Poland and the West for 2 straight days, Russia will also withdraw from NATO, according to Norwegian sources.

With its growing isolation from the rest of the world and its belligerent sabre-rattling about nuclear strikes against Poland and 'going beyond diplomacy' in response to the U.S.-Polish agreement on a defensive missile shield, Russia now joins North Korea, Iran, Syria, Cuba, and Venezuela as a 'rogue nation.'

Rogue nations are part of an 'axis of evil,' an 'evil empire' to borrow Reagan's term, that recognize no civilized manner of dealing with conflict in the world.

With their barbarian and totalitarian notions of world dominance and bullying their neighbors, the rogue nations recognize no power or authority of individual citizens but concentrate their power totally in the state.

It is a shame that only 20 years after breaking free from the grip of Communism under the leadership of Mikael Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin--as a result of Reagan's prodding--the Russian people are once again succumbing to the harsh brutality of totalitarians such as Vladimir Putin and his puppet-President.

And the thing that is not only ironic but baffling is how the Russians, with a straight face, can claim to be so outraged over a missile shield that they threaten to attack Poland with nukes, yet act bewildered that Poland and other bordering nations are so afraid of the Russians that they need a missile shield in the first place.

Russia's manner of protesting the shield is nothing but proof that Poland needs the shield.

MCCAIN CALLS FOR ACTION AGAINST RUSSIA

In response to Russia's invasion of the sovereign nation of Georgia, Republican Presidential candidate John McCain stated Monday that the nations of the G-7 should call an emergency meeting to discuss a concerted response.

According to CNS News Service, McCain believes the actions of the Russians to be a serious violation of international law. He also stated it was obvious that the Russians have every intention of taking over the country.

In addition to the emergency meeting of the G-7, McCain also called for a special meeting of the North Atlantic Council of NATO in order to demand a cease-fire.

NATO, said McCain, should begin discussing the possibility of sending an international peacekeeping force into Georgia and begin deliberations about future relations with Russia, the implication being that unless Russia stands down there will be serious repercussions concerning its relationship with NATO.

Many international political observers believe that the Russian invasion of Georgia is a signal that we may be entering into a new ominous era reminiscent of the Cold War.

One thing is clear, however. The Russians under Vladimir Putin still believe in the old Soviet Communist ideal of total domination.
