Answer 1

No, putting the missile defense system in Poland and the Czech Republic is more than suffice and not rushing in with the Ukraine might be viewed as a deescalation of the current problems.

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

Read the article you quoted and you will discover the satellite system is Ukraine's to give, not Russia's.  When Ukraine became an independent nation after the USSR's collapse, Ukraine became a major military power in the global scope. Not only did they become the owner of this satellite system, which Ukraine companies designed and implemented, but they also became the 3rd largest nuclear power in the world. While the nuclear missiles were returned to Russia to be deactivated, all other military systems remained in place.

Ukraine desperately wants from beneath the thumb of Russia, from both their threats and economic influence on their way of life. Ukraine is a viable economic power of eastern Europe providing much of the region's agricultural and raw steel imports.  

If this military grade satellite system is an legitimate offer by the Ukraine government, the west would be foolish not to accept it.  Only to accept the offer of satellite access and not provide an umbrella of military protection to Ukraine from a future Russian attack would make us of an lower morality than that of the current Russian regime.

In February 2008, Ukraine was added to Russia's growing list of countries threatened with nuclear retaliation. Russia is the bully in the democratic neighborhood, a supporter of further Cold War type actions.

Western media outlets accuse the American leadership of reinitiating the Cold War but what western government has threatened Russia with nuclear annihilation?

Answer 4
