... the new past-time of eastern European countries.

Poland just decided to tick Russia off BIG-TIME while they're occupied with Georgia:

US And Poland Agree To Missile Defense Shield Deal

Time to sit back and see what the Ukraine does. I guarantee you they block the Black-Sea fleet from port. Good luck returning home when your ships are out of fuel there Ivan.

So if we build missile defense sites, they plan on getting back at us by shooting missiles....wow. I don't think anybody should feel threatened by a country with military strategy like that. I think it's time to give the Russians a wee spanking, they've been very naughty lately.

Except that their missiles would obliterate us...

ehhh, not really. They've been pretty persistent with flying their bombers to the edge of US airspace or just over it recently. And the modified Tu-95's that they're doing those runs with have the capabilities to fire nuclear warhead equipped cruise missiles at us with an high success rate seeing as how they're probably too fast for our intercept systems to engage properly.

WE NEED THE STAR WARS PROGRAM!!!

Although the "Star Wars" program is a great saftey blanket, it could have raised tensions even higher during the Cold War.

They manage to fly over restricted airspace in alaska more often than a lot of people think.  Besides, odds are any country nowadays that's planning on starting a nuclear war is not going to send "a bomber."  There's going to be lots and lots of ICMB's and no country has the defense system to stop all of them.

Besides, chances are that those ICBM's will be coming from submarines.

If they fired nukes at us they'd be screwed unless they took out nearly all of our military and hit our allies hard all at once. Once nukes are fired, the whole world would flip out and we'd quite possibly even retaliate with our own nukes which we have no shortage of. I'd say the chances of them lobbing a nuke at us from Russia and hitting the target are slim and only a little better if they try with a submarine. If they sent bombers, I'm sure we'd take them out before they got close enough. In any case, I have a feeling things will be getting worse between the US and Russia. I'm expecting another arms race at least.

i have a feeling the amount of nukes fired between US and russia regardless of if they hit would destroy the world.

we arnt talking about one or two missiles, it would be hundreds or thousands of missiles, some armed with conventional weapons and some with nuke/chem weapons.

if we go to war with russia the world will change, if the gloves come off we wont recognize it.
