Russian Menace Grows Dangerous

In its most defiant act of aggression yet, the Russian menace continued to delve deeper into Georgia, taking Georgian 'prisoners of war' and seizing U.S. humvees in the area.

Most of us who remember the Cold War with the old Soviet Union are very familiar with these tactics undertaken by what was known at the time as 'the Great Menace.'

President Ronald Reagan referred to the Menace as 'an evil empire.'

It is time we had some Ronald Reagan-style leadership on the Russian menace today. They have shown to the entire world that they have returned to the tactics of the old Communist Soviet Union and are still every bit the Great Menace and Evil Empire that they have always been.

The new Russian President, Vladimir Putin's puppet, even made fun of NATO on Tuesday in light of an emergency meeting of the organization's leadership concerning the growing Soviet threat.

The U.S. and the free world cannot allow the acts of such a rogue, lawless nation to go without a decisive response.

Moscow obviously thinks it has the free world over a barrel. There was another time in history when it thought the same thing, only to find that with the emergence of Ronald Reagan and his carefully-crafted threats to the Soviets it became obvious that the U.S. was not going to back off or allow the Menace to continue its march toward world domination.

Are there options other than military force in response to these modern-day acts of aggression by Russia?

Of course there are. We can isolate them. We can cut them off from trade. We can cut off their supplies that flow from the West. We can use all of the diplomacy at our disposal.

But at the end of the day, when all else has failed, as Ronald Reagan demonstrated the use of force or threatened force is the only language the Russian barbarians understand.

And yes, Reagan even called them barbarians.

The barbarians need to understand that there are serious, deadly, and totally destructive military consequences to acts such as the Russians perpetrated in Georgia.

The missile shield Poland wants from the U.S. should be in place...yesterday. And when the U.S. Patriot missiles are put into place in Poland, we should make it clear to Putin and his paper tiger puppet that those missiles are aimed not only at Iran but Moscow as well.

RUSSIA GOES NUTS OVER POLAND'S OFFER

Russia has threatened Poland with a nuclear attack.

Yes, you read that right.

When the nation of Poland, frightened by Russia's blatant, lawless invasion of a sovereign nation, offered the U.S. the right to place a nuclear missile defense shield in the country, Russia responded by going nuts...bonkers...luny.

In response to Poland's desire to protect itself from nukes, Russia went into hysterics by threatening Poland with a nuclear attack if they allow the U.S. to give them such a defense shield.

According to Financial Times, Russia is concerned about the part of the agreement that allows the U.S. to place some of its Patriot missiles in Poland.

Yet the Russians hardly have any room to complain. By invading and occupying Georgia, which posed absolutely no threat whatsoever to the Russians, Vladimir Putin and his KGB comrades who control the government have demonstrated to the world that they are just as great a threat to world stability and the security of bordering nations as the old USSR.

Both Poland and the Czech Republic are in grave danger of attack and invasion by the Russians. The entire area is also a prime target of Iran.

In order to provide for their defense against lunatics in the region such as Iran and Russia, the nations of Poland, the Czech Republic, Georgia, and others are in dire need of the anti-missile defense shield.
