Russian President Dmitry Medvedev is deploying short-range missiles in Kaliningrad, a part of the old USSR between Lithuania and Poland.
Medvedev made clear it was in part due to U.S. backing of Georgia in recent Caucasus tiffs, which candidate Obama also backed.
It’s also a warning not to get happy about expanding NATO to Ukraine.
Another heads-up to Obama.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
