Parking Star War missiles at Russian Borders is in direct conflict with Nuclear Non-Proliferation.

Non-Proliferation is an EQUITY issue. Each side of the non-proliferation has to stand down from this hideous military stance.

Parking missiles at Russian borders directly effects the ability to promote non-proliferation.

The USA missiles at Russian borders are to intercept their missiles.

The USA missiles at Russian borders actually escalates tensions by destroying 'The Balance of Power.' 

There is every reason to believe the USA military in cooperation with Poland is seeking to escalate the tensions with Russia to the point of war. Absolutely. Poland killed well over one thousand people unable to protect themselves. That is NOT a reason to escalate tensions with Russia.

The United States (click here) intends to field Patriot air- and missile-defense systems in northern Poland about 35 miles from the border with Russia, Agence France-Presse reported yesterday (see GSN, Dec. 11, 2009).
The town of "Morag was chosen as the location long ago, but we didn't make it public," the Polish PAP news agency quoted Polish Defense Minister Bogdan Klich as saying.
Klich said the decision to deploy the Patriot missiles so close to Russia's Kaliningrad region had "no political or strategic meaning -- its good infrastructure is the only reason."... 

It is very safe to say the current 'Old World' relationship the USA has with Poland is hideous and dangerous. How can the USA back a Poland that kills people?

The USA missiles in Poland aren't necessary. The USA missiles at Russian borders anywhere is inappropriate and very dangerous. There are PEACEKEEPES along those borders. What seems to be the problem?

Russia proposed to replace Austrian UN peacekeepers who withdrew from the Golan Heights on the Israel-Syria border. However, the mandate of the UN mission does not allow Russia to do so, the organization’s spokesman said.
Russia was ready to send around 300 peacekeepers to the Golan Heights, said Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations Vitaly Churkin.
“We are talking about the replacement of the same number from the Austrian contingent, in other words about 300 peacekeepers or roughly a battalion,” Churkin said.
While a number of UN Security Council member states welcomed Russia’s initiative, Churkin added that the parties concerned must give their agreement for Russia to send peacekeepers.
However, the mandate of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF), which has been in the Golan under the 1974 Israeli-Syrian agreement, does not allow Russia to deploy its troops in the area, said UN spokesman Martin Nesirky....

Israel doesn't trust Russia and sees them as a force willing to back Assad so Israel will do it themselves and risk a great war. 

I tell you what. Since Israel is a very important ally, why doesn't the USA and Russia provide peacekeepers to work together along the Syrian-Israel Border and act to end any escalation. Sounds like a plan to me.

Power: Obama would not rule out U.S. peacekeepers (click here)

A top national security aide to President Barack Obama, Samantha Power, said this week that Obama would not rule out the possibility of using U.S. troops as peacekeepers. However, she also said that U.S. money or logistical support would often be more effective....

...the United States is willing to consider. It’s not something that he would rule out. But one always wants to do the cost benefit analysis there. I mean, there are certain places where U.S. forces are not, in fact, likely to be the greatest asset to a peacekeeping force, not because they wouldn’t be terrific peacekeepers, but because there is a political dimension to a U.S. deployment that has to be taken into account. And so one always wants to ask how do we balance our strategic priorities, the fact that we have so many troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, and how would we assess the relative impact that U.S. forces would make to a peacekeeping mission.

Sometimes economic benefits are cheaper AND better (US AID) than deploying US Peacekeepers, however, the problems with Syria are outside the realm of economic development. There is no sovereign access to seek economic development to raise the citizens out of poverty. At this point the international community is lucky to get survival humanitarian aid to the Syrian people.
