NEW YORK - With a diplomatic wink and nod, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev opened the door Wednesday to backing potential sanctions against Iran as a reward to President Barack Obama's decision to scale back a U.S. missile shield in Eastern Europe.
The 'defense ' system was 10 missiles, nothing to defend a real Russian attack.
But still, I am sure the Czechs especially feel screwed a bit again, they
will be more careful in the future.
Being a friend of the US is dangerous these days.
It is better to be an enemy, you get much better treatment....
I fell that the US once again has shown that we wont keep our word to potential friends and allies if a bigger country comes up with a way for us to get out of it. What a crock of S###T that we pulled out of our agreement. Sorry I'm still pissed about it and will be for many years.
I feel bad for the Czechs and Poles who signed on for the system, at the expense of Russia's ''goodwill,''
The Czechs and Poles experienced 50 years of Russian 'goodwill' and I doubt that they care they've tweaked Putin. They lost nothing by doing so.
