dfrank 1 | - 14 Sep 2008 / #1Hi, I am a student from Australia doing some research on the missile dispute. What do people believe are Poland’s and Russia’s real interests? What is truly motivating Poland’s decision and Russia’s reaction?

finT 12 | 167 15 Sep 2008 / #5Poland has no choice. They owe America big-time for helping get rid of the communists. Much of this was helped along by pumping in millions of dollars to all sorts of "anti-govt" groups (including some really dubious ones) during the 80's. Now Poland has to do everything the Americans say! Simple really. The shield, the secret CIA cells, mysterious flights and holding pens are probably only the tip of the iceberg. The Polish Govt (in whatever form) will be kissin' yankee butt for generations to come!

southern 74 | 7,074 15 Sep 2008 / #8They want the missiles to be able to hit immediately Russia in cade of crisis without Russia being able to strike back because in this case Russia will have to strike Poland.So they want to leave Poland no choice and involve as many possible allies as they can to justify an intervention.

southern 74 | 7,074 15 Sep 2008 / #10real antagonism on NATO, USA and EUNATO is military unit,USA is political unit and EU is economical unit.They have nothing to do between each other.NATO interests are very different from EU interests etc.

Seanus 15 | 19,674 15 Sep 2008 / #12And what do u propose that NATO be, Crow?Interests is a very broad term, encapsulating all manner of things.And, guess what? Some Slavic interests are covered
