Tusk's visit to Moscow

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk recently returned from a trip to Moscow with two things on his agenda; the US missile shield and the Baltic Sea pipeline. Tusk left without being shot, which is good I suppose, but nothing really was accomplished. I like Tusk and I like his idea to thaw out Poland's relations with her eastern neighbor, but I don't want Poland to be bullied around either. What do you guys make of Tusk's uneventful trip? Is there a way to stand up to the Russians with out getting bombed back to the Partition Age?

Without the USA supporting do you really feel they would ever have a chance of getting the shield? I think we both know the answer.

Good news is that Tusk stuck to plans.

At a press conference after a meeting with the Russian President, Tusk said that Vladimir Putin is not an “enthusiast” of the deployment of the American anti-missile shield in Poland, but respects Poland’s freedom to decide about its own safety. The Polish PM ensured him that the shield would not be directed against Russia.

Yeah, like I said, I like Tusk. I am not clamoring to antagonize Russia. And as you said, I'm pleased Tusk stood to his guns. I'm disappointed that none of the issues were resolved. It takes time, I suppose.

From the comments after the visit I thought it (anti missile) was resolved, silly me.
