Russia moves nuclear-capable missiles into Kaliningrad Quote: Russia has moved nuclear-capable Iskander-M missiles into the Kaliningrad enclave bordering Poland and Lithuania, the Defence Ministry said on Saturday, adding it was part of routine drills. "The deployment not only increases tensions in the region, but also possibly violates international treaties which limit deployment of ballistic missiles of range of over 500 kilometers," Foreign Minister (of Lithuania) Linas Linkevicius told a news briefing in Vilnius . . . Some modifications of the Iskander can hit targets 700 km (450 miles) away, putting the German capital Berlin in range of Kaliningrad, Linkevicius said. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-ru...-idUSKCN1280IV Opening moves. __________________ "It's a free country; you can say whatever you want." --Old American Saying (U.S. Postal Service stamp-- from 1977 Americana series which extols freedom of speech and features a Speaker's Stand decorated with an American Flag shield.)

Re: Russia moves nuclear-capable missiles into Kaliningrad NATO had military exercises in Moldova. And there were huge demonstrations against NATO when they marched into Moldova. NATO held military exercises in Estonia, not far from the border with Russia.

Exciting and terrifying times ahead. Ah yes, the comparisons to the Third Reich again. If you are not making such a comparison could you let us know what else you are thinking of when you talk of 1938? The debut of Superman, the first showing of Snow White?

Tensions are like in the late thirties is what I tried to imply... Please bear in mind personal remarks of this kind are forbidden on the forum. In what respect and compared to what are tensions akin to those of the late 30's? Obviously the comparison involves taking either one state or a collection of states as a paradigm when submitting it for consideration. I am neither a dog, nor I am chewing a bone. Let's leave ad hominem style attacks out of our posting.

Re: Russia moves nuclear-capable missiles into Kaliningrad Lol, it's a well known expression If you continue to consider me to be anti russian then let me just tell you that you couldn't be more wrong. I'm rather apolitical, but forced to take sides I would prefer Putin over Merkel any day.
