Russia tests the new President-Elect
Posted in Politicson Nov 5, 2008
Obama’s first day as President-Elect has already brought international tests. Today, Russia announced that it was going to deploy missiles near Poland in response to a US missle defense shield installation there. It is no cooincidence or mistake that this announcement was made the day after the election. Additionally, Russia scrapped plans to disassemble some of its cold-war-era nukes.
How will Obama react? Will he stand strong and firm against this Russia political aggression? Or will he allow Russia to continue an arms building without opposition?
This is not just about a few missiles here or there. This is a Russian test of Obama. Russia is figuring out how much they can do with the new President. They are testing the Obama waters to see how much they can get away with.

Er? That whole situation looks like U.S. political aggression to me. After all, we’re the ones jumping over to the other side of the world and sticking missiles in other people’s countries. They’re just deploying missiles in their own country.
What if Russia deployed “missile defense” sites in Canada? Would we just sit around and acquiesce? I can’t really blame Russia.
