    >>>one Russian officer asked a NEWSWEEK reporter if she could lend him a Georgian SIM card for his phone; he also asked if she knew where the nearest Georgian front lines were***
    curious moment.. perhaps georgians run so quickly that russian field intelligence couldn't be in time to trace them ))) >>>"Russian conventional forces are still decades behind most NATO countries"*** well, it's nice but why russains were more successful in afghan than NATO now?

    I don't understand: Why are USA readers SO sure that russians will invade Europe, just so, for the sake of it ? Do they think that invasions are russian national sport ? Russians are NO reason at all to do it (and not enough grunts too: read demographic stats) . Europe buys (and pays) their gas and oil, send them goods and technologies they like so much, russian tourists come here, our tourists go there...Poles and balts has another view ? Burned dog fears cold water (or as they say over there, "scared crow fears the bushes), but this is THEIR problem, not ours...
    Just a friendly suggestion: think twice (or more) before to remove your forces from Europe: chances are NO ONE will never call you back...
