Reuters and Barak Ravid, Haaretz Correspondent: Cheney tells Peres: Russia supplies weapons to terrorists
Talkback
Title: New Cold War Name: Reid City: Marana State:
All, I don`t support Cheney. However, it is Putin, not Cheney that started the Cold War. At the Munich Declaration, Putin claimed the entire Near Abroad as Russia`s sphere of influence. Contrary to appeasers, the nations of the Near Abroad don`t want to be occupied by a resurgent Russia. There has been a realignment of forces since the attack on Georgia. Despite the will of the Anti-Zionists, America has gotten a large group of friends. Poland was at the point of rejecting the Anti-Missile base. After Georgia, Poland signed immediately. The Ukraine wants into NATO. If Sarkozy hadn`t intervened and American ships hadn`t shown up at Georgia`s port, Russian troops would be in Tiblisi and the President of Georgia would have been overthrown by force and aggression. China and Shanghai Security Council wouldn`t affirm Russia`s recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia as independent of Georgia. That precedent could cause China to lost Taiwan and Tibet.
