" I'm far more worried about Putin and this thugs. "

They are indeed the bigger threat. I think the US has always been

afraid of Russia and the former Soviet Union and has refused to

engage them directly. We now have a few ships supplying Georgia,

which puts us potentially in the firing line, but this does not send

them much of a statement. Russia knows we are trying to show the

world we are being bold, but in reality, they and the rest of the

world know also that if we were truly bold we would have intervened

militarily.

" They have poked their finger in the West's eye and nothing has

happened. "

Yes, well, we have poked fingers in their eyes in Afghanistan and

nothing has happened either.

" They don't think anything WILL happen either than they are probably

right. "

Yep.

" That area is getting dangerous and the Russians do have nukes. The

question is, if they attack Poland, what are we going to do about it?

If they drop a nuke in Poland or Eastern Europe, are we going to

rick our cities getting nuked or an EMP strike that could put parts

of the country back into the 1800's? "

I doubt they would use nuclear weapons against any country except one

of their former Soviet states. They still have designs on them

surely, and I think on some level, given the primative and thuggish

political nature of many of those countries, Europe still sees the

countries as Soviet era inspired. It's why so few of these new

countries have made it into the European Union or NATO.

I can see them rolling their tanks into Lithuania, Latvia, and

Estonia again, but I think they would write off Poland, East Germany,

and, for the time being, the Ukraine, because the land mass of the

Ukraine is too vast for its rather deteriorated army to conquer

swiftly.

Poland has become to cherished by Europe for them to try anything

there. The first countries they would reconquer are the ones Europe

never really cared about to begin with.
