Russia and the Eastern European missile shield

[The Emperor]

  I am wondering where you all stand on this?
  I think we should give it up!  I think we can get them to stay out of Georgia and we can get a deal done on nukes.  I hope we can have good relations with Russia.  Russia letting us send supplies through their land is a huge gesture on their part.  Russia is still a hard nosed player in international affairs and I would not over trust them just yet, but I think the prospects for getting rid of nukes is far to great not to try.  The biggest concern with Russia I have is their attempts to control much of the worlds energy.  However, so do we.
