Before US makes port, Russia blocks them off

AbuAmerican's picture

The US is sending humanitarian aid to Georgia via the US Navy.

Russia cuts off land access to Georgia's major sea port.

This mean the aid is coming but no one can get it? Diabolical I tell you.

Note: Check the part about Russia considering a Nuclear strike on Poland and ditching all contact and cooperation with NATO.

Sometimes I get the feeling I am the only one concerned with these current developments.

Russia has also over the last year had Regularly Fighter planes and Bombers following the Norwegian Coast down to the North Sea even approaching UK. And the Threat againts Poland is real enough as well -

britexpat said Vignale.. ...

The flights over Norwegian coast and also near Britain is just a means of Russia to show that its back on the scene.. Those planes are the old Tupolev 95's, sometimes called the "Bears".

Its all a game of Chess at the moment.. I doubt whether anything will happen against Poland. Ukraine is playing a game also, because it wants to get rid of the Russian Fleet and feels that it can use the situation to its advantage..

Russia has unofficially broken ties and communication with NATO. NATO has kept silent on the Poland missile deal.. Russia has no use for them if they wont consider their concerns.
http://news.yahoo.co...

NATO is out of this picture.

Britexpat, I agree with you, it is just showing power.
One can wonder what lies behind Poland turning in the Missile Shield Treaty discussions. Only 2 weeks ago the Government in Poland was all against it. Then we Got Russia going into Georgia.. Hmm I wonder if the US had something to do with Georgia provoking Russia to invade as it looks like this made Poland signing the Treaty ?
(reading Polish news and blogs this has been mentioned)

Brit I wouldn't be so sure, Russia has resumed Nuclear armed flights in those planes.

Sure they do and that's part of the reason they are doing all of this. We don't have to understand their logic for it to work for them. They deployed Nukes in Georgia.. They didn't do it only for show, its to let people know we are serious. Push them too hard and I don't doubt they will implement them.

They warned Poland that they have opened themselves to nuclear attack. I am one of the few who believes this is not mere posturing.

All of this is deeper than EU relations. This is about securing dwindling global energy supplies for the next generations. Too much is at stake to think they won't use them.

Doubt they would do it with Poland or Ukrain.
