...but were completed only as old memories and new fears surfaced in recent days.

Those fears were codified to some degree in what Polish and American officials characterized as unusual aspects of the final deal: that at least temporarily American soldiers would staff air defense sites in Poland oriented toward Russia, and that the United States would be obliged to defend Poland in case of an attack with greater speed than required under NATO, of which Poland is a member.

Polish officials said the agreement would strengthen the mutual commitment of the United States to defend Poland, and vice versa. “Poland and the Poles do not want to be in alliances in which assistance comes at some point later — it is no good when assistance comes to dead people,” the Polish prime minister, Donald Tusk, said on Polish television. “Poland wants to be in alliances where assistance comes in the very first hours of — knock on wood — any possible conflict.”

A case could be made that all of the saber rattling in Iran has been meant by those rattling the sabers, all except for Israel, who's just paying for it, to draw out Russia. And getting nowhere with this or their bullshit about missile defense bases in Poland and the Czech Republic, * and Fudd and friends encouraged the not tightly wrapped Saakashvili to piss off Russia enough to make their naked aggression missile bases and occupation of the Persian Gulf seem warranted.

I've been meaning to gripe about the stuffy old poops out there calling my Cold Cold War the "Arctic Cold War" and so I guess this is as good a time as any. Don't kid yourself it's just the Canadians and the Russians either. While I'd be happy enough to have our troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan, it creeps me out that it would only be to be deployed to bases ringing Russia and China so that arms dealers and oil barons could continue to suck us dry.

These assholes are fucking stupid cave men, and think only in terms of greatest possible profit that they might rule the world throughout posterity, while there will be no posterity if they don't cut this shit out. The only possible sense in their actions is to kill off a big enough percentage of the population to obviate the need for both laws and new technology to reduce our carbon emmissions. And I'm sorry to always be yelling at you, but, you fuckers, you're not stopping them, and I'm beginning to think that, since liberal altruism is so fucking limp and bottomlessly lame in addressing the problems of inhumanity and global catastrophe, the filthy pig plutocrats should speed this shit up!

God DAMN it!
