rogue state

it is correct spelled, "benifit" ? Mahmoud Ghalehnoii, the intenational english student

the entry in NATO was seen as a precursor of entry in EU. Something to gain the trust of Western Europe, and investors. something of a trick, if you wish And it was long before the invasion of Iraq, and problems with Middle East. American bases are seen as an argument against Russia, but it seems that is not strong enough. but people are divided, some resent Russia, some fear it, some like it, some are afraid that this makes a possible battleground between the two superpowers.

US is not any better than Russia, an imperialistic power, only with less oil and more greed and poverty the Eastern Europe people are very smart, they cannot be fooled with propaganda. in case of a war, they don't think that US will help them against Russia, because US is absorbed in other parts of the world, with more oil. only fear of Russia made them accept US bases there. that's realpolitik Iran has no place here.

understood, but you are wrong, Russia is not only exporter of energy, like SA, but they have big and developed industry, huge territory, and educated populace, as well. SA is only a desert with energy.doesn't match Russia. Slovakia is much more interested in Kosovo, because it's close, and because of potential refugees. N Korean eventual refugees will go in Far East, S Korea, Manciuria or even far eastern Russia. as I said, many poeple form Eastern Europe worked in oil rich muslim countries, in construction, agriculture, machinery. they don't have serious historical issues with these countries. i don't recall Iran being threatening with Eastern Europe. Also, eastern Europes have stable economies, stable population, less immigration. there's no need for them to involve in wars around the world.They are afraid of Russia, though. Britain, maybe.

The idea is that American missile shield manage to infuriate Russia, and let Eastern Europe exposed to his anger and retaliation, both economically and militarily. I also think that if Russia retaliates, US will abandon these countries, as did when Soviet Union invaded them.

you are wrong, from Eastern European countries lots of people worked in Arab countries, Iran, Algeria Libia and Morocco.I know that from source. I also know that they don't give a rat's ass about Iran, let alone N. Korea.They have other problems, Balkans(Kossovo and Albania), Russia and his oil pipelines,gas, US and his military bases, seen as a counterbalance to military power of Russia, Turkey (Armenian genocide, accesion to EU, relation with Greece). it seems to me that you are advocating for a missile shield here. I really don't think you need not to worry about Germany, they are very smart. what Japan has, and Germany has not ? I'm sure they know what they do. I'm not sure, but i heard that lots of people from Iran study now in Germany.

North Korea really hasn't anything to do with anybody. It is but a nutty little character who will try any ransom any group with money he can. If KJI's missiles cannot reach the U.S, why not threaten the other moneyed group, which is the E.U. And seeing as Poland, Hungary and Slovakia form the outskirts, they should be concerned. The same goes for Iran. What they have in common is lack of technology, and Europe is about as far as they go. And if those nations cannot strike America, they will try to strike as far as they can. Israel is closer, than any European country. maybe they will try also Iraq, with American troops there. maybe Saudi Arabia, or EAU. and they have lots of money, to pay for blackmail, if that 's what you think. for N Korea, also Japan is much closer, so is S. Korea. former communist countries, had good relations with Iran, and N Korea. so, Europe has nothing to worry, just my 2c. US, on the other side, is involved everywhere.

sorry for seeming jumping to conclusions, but really I don't think N Korea has anything to do with Hungary, or Slovenia, or Czechs, for example. maybe they have issues with S Korea, or Japan. but Hungary is some 5000 km apart. Iran, also is the same. maybe they have issues with Britain. The only contries that have problems, are those with large unassimilated immigrants population, or were involved in wars. Iran began exporting cars in some european countries. at next G8 summit, Bush will oppose the reduction of carbon dioxide emmisions, supported by europeans.

Okay. And Serbia's fear can be extrapolated onto the whole of Europe? I am just curious as to the basis of your original statement referring to the US as threat to Europe. Amd the Iran - Iraq war is just trivial event I assume. Of course, we must exonerate them, since only Americans crimes are valid. Nope, I see no bias. of course not, i gave Serbia as the most obvious example, because it was bombed by the US. i didn't say that US is the most dangerous, i said that looks more dangerous than Iran. Iran never attacked anyone, but was attacked by Iraq, with American support.

And???? I'm also European and the perceived danger is Iran, China and North Korea. As far as I re-call, I am yet to hear of threats of an American attack. Granted, some people perceive threats to be Teletubbies...and their "sodomite" manipulations. We are free to imagine whatever we wish, no matter how irrational it may be. i think it depends on what kind of European you are, really:) for Polish, Estonians, Finland, for example, Mother Russia is the biggest perceived threat, for me, i have nothing to do with N Korea, Iran, more than Sri Lanka or Zimbabwe, just examples. Croatia, Slovenia, doesn't perceive any threat. Serbia is afraid of US, Germany is a friend of Russia, England is a friend of US, and of Russia's rich tycoons China, maybe, economically, with invasion of cheap workers and products.

why don't Germany say this, or France, or Poland, or Spain. Britain, always Britain. Britain complains that Iran is a danger to Europe. I'm European, and the perceived danger in Europe is US or Russia.

what do you mean, you didn't have a choice ? it is not compulsory military service, is it ?

Army Guy: get back home, get a real job, or welfare, and stop blackmailing and spending the country's money because army guys cannot do anything else! the army should be for protecting the country only.

NATO membership requires solidarity only in case one of countries is attacked. not solidarity in attacking other countries. maybe French doesn't know how weak Canadian government are facing corporations.

rich people are never contended. the more you give to them, the more they want. they are a individualistic, insatiable folk, and they want to conserve their wealth. that's why, they will never be happy with any deal, other than complete independence. and this never happened without some, let's say, friction. so, better get ready for some friction or to make a good compromise , from the Albertan side.

yeah, nukes. I'm pretty sure Canada can make them. The Americans sure don't like nukes. Neither pointed at them, nor given to their "friends". See all their whining about Iran, North Korea, Syria. Fair deal ? if Alberta wants to leave, maybe pay down the federal debt. Sounds fair to me, being so rich and all. Mahmoud Ghalehnoii

i think Canadian people had enough of egotistic complaints of rich Alberta, and threats. NEP, pillage, theft, taxes, that's their only wording. Alberta should be partaged equitably among other provinces. obviously, Canadians will need some help from other countries, maybe some nukes to keep Americans at bay. Mahmoud Ghalehnoii

so, the supporters should go and fight to protect canadian values in afganistan support with fight, not only with rallies and turmoil. Mahmoud Ghalehnoii

that's not the real reason. nobody likes anglosaxons. sure they should stick together.

do you think that scandinavians and switzerland would want to join "anglosphera" ?

Israel is an Anglospheric state ? Mahmoud Ghalehnoii

europe is not only the anglosaxons. mahmoud ghalehnoii

the anglosaxon criminals cannot and never survived without immigrants. they are simply too idiots, incompetents to live on their own. Mahmoud Ghalehnoii

they let refugees in for bribery received from UN. so, it's all about dishonesty, inherent in anglosaxon people. Mahmoud Ghalehnoii

i'm speaking about anglosaxons, not canada. i'm exactly opposite, soft spoken and calm. what looks to you like a outrage or hate, it is actually a cold headed analysis of anglosaxon idiots.
