BERLIN — Poland is balking at further negotiations with the United States over plans to deploy an anti-ballistic missile shield, prompting Washington to seek out Lithuania, formerly part of the Soviet Union, as a possible alternate location, officials said Wednesday.
Talk about sticking the bear with a sharp, pointy stick!
The American approach to Lithuania is likely to stir fresh tensions with Russia.... Taking the shield onto former Soviet territory was a suggestion that surprised some European security experts.
“The last thing we need is another conflict with Russia,” said Gereon Schuch, program director in the Robert Bosch Foundation for Central and Eastern Europe at the German Council for Foreign Affairs....
Yeah, SLICK MOVE, U.S.!!!!
If I didn't know any better, I'd say you are TRYING to start a CONFLICT!
The overtures to Lithuania reflect exasperation on both the Polish and American sides over their negotiations to deploy the shield in Poland.... Polish Ministers have said it might even be better to wait until a new administration was in place.
