and Blair is making a huge incident out of the murder of double spy, traitor to his country?
I for one, am surprised he survived so long.
Are we witnessing the beginning of a new cold war?

George Bush, in his insanity, it rattling sabres at Russia. He is going to throw us right back into the Cold War again. It took us 40 years to climb out of it and his big mouth and dictatorial attitude is ruining the peace...everywhere.
He is causing BIG problems among our friends and allies. I truly think there is something seriously wrong with his head. I think he is either insane or is a sociopath.
There is NO reason to threaten Russia - NO reason to try placing missile defense in Europe (there is no such thing - what that means is placing nuclear missiles in European countries of the former Soviet block...and they aren't going to let it happen).
He is a crazy man.

Coincidence? No - Bush is just carrying on in his usual stupid way. How to make friends and influence people - point missiles at them.
As for Blair - it's a difficult call on the spy murder. If Russia's constitution doesn't allow its citizens to be extradited it's going to be a problem getting the them to agree.
As for Blair himself - he's become an embarrasment with his farewell tour - who does he think he is - Sinatra or maybe The Damned?? The sooner he's out of No.10 the better, although I'm starting to worry that Brown's not going to be the Prime Minister we need. Problem is - who else is there? And don't say David Cameron - please.

I've always said Bushy was operating with half the kit. For instance if he puts this "shield" close to Russia, what does he expect them to do?
There are two options, 1 Build better anti shield ICBMs 2 Site missiles round the back, after all the world is round and not flat (I had to remind some).

Bush is trying to keep the world in line with him - he's just doing it to scare people. Russia hasn't done anything recent toward America, so why would he even think about setting up missiles for no reason?
...and another question comes to mind - why is he fighting the "war on terror" when he's using missiles that cause terror? what a loophole

Apparently you are new to the 20th and 21st century.
See as far back as the 1960's the US and Britain have been trying to establish missile bases in Europe.
As far back as the collapse of the soviet Union the west has been trying to establish bases in former soviet controlled nations.
Now just by looking at those times frames that puts the desire for missiles and bases in Europe well BEFORE Bush was in office.
all you are seeing is a continuation of an old game. It's nothing new.
Sell your Bush hatred and conspiracy theories to people without a brain or without a basic understanding of pre-cold war, cold war and post cold war politics. thanks.

In tests this missile defense system failed over 50% of the time. It is totally ineffective against people who fly planes into buildings or suicide bombers. We are breaking a treaty that has been in effect for over 35 years. Breaking the non proliferation treaty will start a whole new arms race. Bush gave the oil companies record profits, now he is reviving the defense industry.

Russia doesn't need your lousy "protection" of 10 missiles.
Russia has its own systems: S-300 and S-400 complexes that are far better.
And 3000+ nukes to wipe out any aggressor from the map.
That's all about money and cronyism. Bushka feeds his greedy friends giving them hefty contracts.

Bush is the earliest lame duck President in history. Putin's just telling "I looked into his eyes" Bush to stay the hell out of Russian affairs.
