there are more nations involved than france and britain. but those were the two nations who had a pact with poland before wwii. yawn, try to be not so transparent.
The only thing transparent is a western european telling us we have nothing to worry about if we let western europeans make decisions for central and eastern europeans, instead of letting those actually involved have a say.
the poles and the czechs were not going to be protected by the missile shield from the russians, hello?
Then why do the russians object.
Hello???
but the missile shield angered the bear, so the net balance for poles and czechs is negative.
And we should give a flying **** what angers Russia because?
They don't own eastern europe anymore.
and what do poles and czechs have to say about that, you know the opinion of who you pretend to care about?
They are angry and disapointed by it, as anyone betrayed would be.

"If the administration approaches us in the future with any request, I would be strongly against it," said Jan Vidim, a lawmaker with the conservative Civic Democratic Party, which had supported the missile defense plan.
Aleksander Szczyglo, head of Poland's National Security Office, characterized the change as a "defeat primarily of American long-distance thinking about the situation in this part of Europe."
"It's quite unfair," said Petr Boubin, 36, who owns a cafe in the Czech capital. "I think Obama is making too many concessions to Russia."
