How does your post relate to this thred???

Please, don`t be selfish. Poland is important Slavic country. If you aren`t aware of it, that`s your problem, not mine.
After all, look batter. All my posts in this thread are related to this topic, more or less.
For people with pan-Slavic feelings, decision in case with missile base in Poland are very important question. You know, I grow up in Yugoslavia and I live in Serbia which politics and ordinary/public life always strongly depended on destine of other Slavs. Forget for a moment what BBC and CCN told you about Serbs. If you don`t know something you batter ask so that at least for the moment you can get information about Serbian side of story. You have many Catholic and Protestant Slavs who could tell you what they think about Orthodox Serbs. For example, you can ask Lusatians, Slovenians, Slovaks, Czechs. Ask Poles from Voivodina (Serbian Northern province). All of them, don`t see survivor of Slavic South without Serbia, all of them are awere that Serbs aren`t anti-Catholics, all of them were supported (even Croats) by Serbs in time of their need and they understand what is in the game. All Slavs who know little from Slavic history know that Serbia was Slavic piedmont during Austro-Hungarian occupation. We were hope for those under Turkish occupation and for those who suffered under Germans/Austrians/Hungarians. Don`t base your view about Serbs on the base of pro-German Croatian propaganda and other anti-Serbian sources.
Of course, question about missile bases, is on the first place Polish internal question but, nuclear base on Polish ground in this constellation between powers sounds little too much for me. For me, that look’s dangerous for Poland and that way dangerous for global salvation of Slavs.
Are you aware of consequences? When you are legitimitate target for nuclear missiles, you can be victim even of possible mistake. I mean true mistake and `mistake` (something like- `ups sorry, we didn’t mean it`). And, what you think that somebody from USA or Europe can do about that mistake (to help Poland to recovery? to start global nucler war? think!). Some German magnate for example wouldn’t risk his life or his business for Poland. Isn’t it? THEY could say- `After all they are all Slavs, we would do business with those who survive`. On the end THEY maybe even decide to `support` Poland or to make `business` behind back of Poland. Yes, yes. And, what would we whose heart would bleed if Poland bleed?
Take also in consideration feelings of ordinary Russians. I am deeply sure that ordinary people in Russia have strong pan-Slavic feelings but, Russian elite is divided. There are selfish people who don’t give a sh** even for Russians and on the other side there are people with great Slavic soul in the ranks of Russian elite and they fights to create batter democratic Russia which would be able for true mission among Slavs, not false.
Missile base in Poland wouldn’t help to Russia. No, those bases would just push her harder in the hands of those selfish people, same people who would be ready to negotiate with Germany about division of Poland. Why Poland wouldn’t help that Russia consolidate instead that Poland strengthen antagonisms inside of Russia?
In this very moment, pan-Slavic wing of Russian elite fights great battles inside of Russian parliament, in Russian society- because of pressure on Serbia. Selfish people who are ready to sell Slavic interests are weaker then ever. Russia is now full with pan-Slavic energy and something beautiful could happen, on the behalf of whole Slavdom and all progressive humankind. Order could be restored in the international relations (that for beggining).
Listen what was situation in Serbia during NATO bombardment when Russians start too deploys their SS-300 and SS-400 systems in their embassy in Belgrade (after destruction of Chinese embassy)...
In first moment Serbs were happy that somebody can do something. Then, people started to think- `If Russians hit some NATO projectile, on the end that projectile must fall somewhere`. And, people become aware- `on the heads of Serbs`. Then people started to worry and were even upset. There were also rumors that Russian airplanes fight battles against NATO somewhere on our sky (Serbian aviation was already destroyed- it was 1 Serbian airplane vs. 15 NATO airplanes). I can confirm that it was unpleasant situation. Same about it, you can heard from Bulgarians, Macedonians, even Italians (all those territories were affected).
And, those NATO bombs were full of radioactive materials. Many Serbs died and dying because of those bombs even today and even in the future would die.
