Kosovo declared it's independence few days ago. Do you support it? And do you fear it might have some international consequences?

GrndAdmrlPellaeon · « **Reply #1 on:** February 20, 2008, 07:12:57 PM »

Does it affect anyone else?

Meyer · « **Reply #2 on:** February 21, 2008, 01:19:04 AM »

don't know yet. but I do know that Russia is not happy about Kosovo's independence. And Russia and USA also have their relations a bit cooler thanks to the missile defense system USA is planning on Europe. And now this.

Really, Russia is going to make a big uproar about it. But they aren't going to fight over the issue too much. They just don't want us in their backyard, but as long as the UN still has some recognition there, few things are going to change. It's the same status quo... you have to realize that Serbia hasn't had control of the Kosovo for years. The chances are they will never gain it back.

Notice how the USSR no longer exists. I like hte idea of Kosovo declaring independence. One more thing just to secretly piss of Vladimir Putin and his *cough*communist*cough* buddies. But Russia won't due anything yet. they still need their new tanks and planes to be produced. Anbd they only have one aircraft carrier.

Meyer · « **Reply #8 on:** February 22, 2008, 02:16:47 AM »

where would they need carriers? There's this new invention: ICBMs. But I doubt there will be a large scale problem because of Kosovo. Maybe a little problems in Balkan but nothing international.

And then America has that nice interceptor missile shield, which could just as easily defend against Russia as the so-called "rogue states" they claim its meant to protect against.

and going of topic. main problem in Balkan will be Serbia.

GrndAdmrlPellaeon · « **Reply #11 on:** February 22, 2008, 10:06:00 AM »

Serbia, its fun to say.

Meyer · « **Reply #12 on:** February 22, 2008, 10:59:21 AM »

what's so funny in it?

GrndAdmrlPellaeon · « **Reply #13 on:** February 22, 2008, 11:13:41 AM »

I said its fun to say. Just say it... SERBIA!

Meyer · « **Reply #14 on:** February 22, 2008, 11:27:42 AM »

I don't see anything fun in it.

Let's face it, if Russia really wanted to launch their missiles, they would launch a lot of them. Our missile shield could never intercept all of them. In case one accidentally got launched (by Russia or a rogue state), we would have something to cover people.

yeah you have a system never tested on real life.

but why would russia start sending missiles to USA because of Kosovo? Russia would support and arm Serbia and NATo and EU would back Kosovo.

Didnt they use the interceptor missiles on that out-of-control-and-extremely-dangerous satellite?

Meyer · « **Reply #18 on:** February 22, 2008, 03:11:28 PM »

which is much easier target than fast moving missile, don't you think? And wasn't that Aegis combat system they used?

Corey · « **Reply #19 on:** February 22, 2008, 03:18:20 PM »

NORAD in general proved just how good it was on 9/11, so North America is pretty much screwed when something decides to fly at it.

Either way, in regards to the Kosovo thing... I support it. I hope it doesn't result in a war, but that'll be decided later.

Do you support Kosovo's independence?
