    What did you expect? When U.S. tries to bully other countries by aggressive acts like installing missile defense system in East Europe then the other sides will start hitting back too. The American attitude always surprise me when they try to be the bully but when other people push back then they start complaining about not being fair and their feelings getting hurt. :rolleyes::D

    I doubt it, Russia, though still a strong regional power is a far shadow of its former self the Soviet Union. The next US President may face a little bit of inconvenience, but I don't think that it would be considered a crisis.

    Also with Fidel Castro's life hanging by a string, who knows what will happen to Cuba. It may soon return to USA influence with a change in leadership.

    It's not NUKES! It s a defense system : Batteries of small missiles, designed and programed to take out incoming missiles.
    Not to attack. Not Nukes. DEFENSE !

    Trust me...no ones feelings are hurt.
    If Cuba does let Russia base Nukes, we will blow that small island nation , it's dictator, and everyone in it, out of the Atlantic Ocean, and turn it into beach front casino resorts, and condominiums.

    Bill Clinton would love it in Cuba. He may even run into Elian Gonzales hand rolling some cohibas.

    It's a shame. Literally 90 miles from Florida, and the hate of the U.S. is so great, that they will allow there own people to live like that.

    That should be a picture of a strip mall with Real Estate offices, a McDonalds and a public transportation stop taking people to work.
    So much history, and culture in that country, wasted so one leader can live in luxury, and starve his own people.

    Many of the real owners of the properties fled to Miami or West New York.

    They don't want the Miami Cubans back even if they have to live in a shit hole.

    USA and Russia relation is based on balance of terror. When USA tries to remove Russia possibility to retaliation by installing "defense" system, then they need new alternatives in order not be bullied or be next Iraq. :rolleyes:

    Yes, the good old times when Cuba was USA's brothel. :rolleyes:

    ah yes but the russians wanted to install DEFENSE and not NUKES too :rolleyes:

    in fact knowing the US army i bet the "batteries of small(LOL) missiles" installed in euro explode in to flowers and fireworks and it rains food and money...i believe the US army SO much and its for "everybodys protection"...

    the world better arm up and install nukes quick to protect itself just like the USA...go nukes!...screw the world where only a few have the gun and get to command over the rest...freedom for everybody!

    Only morons believe Iran will attack anybody in EU.
    Only morons believe Iran will dare to attack US.

    It is all about spending tax payers money, for selfish interests. Those special groups decide to rob tax payers and then fabricate stories to scare the morons, and then you see millions supporters, years after the damage the fools realize they have been fooled one more time.
