Russia to deploy nuclear -capable missiles on Nato border

President-elect Obama was welcomed with just that announcement from President Medvedev, read here. (Curiously this move and the missile threat impacts Lisbon Treaty ratification in the Czech Republic, as I have been linking in recent days). More on this from the FT here. The destination for the short-ranged missiles is the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad which lies between Poland and Lithuania: A typical reaction from within the EU was this from Grahnlaw, here. I have added a comment.

Mr Cole,

Since I want to see a European Union founded on democracy (EU citizens), my reaction is far from typical, given the present EU primarily based on states.
