Reagans Pershing deployment in Germany cost the SPD (Helmut Schmidt & Co) their jobs as a West German Gov't , drove the Greens (@6%) into the Bundestag (from which posts they later, under Schöder and Fischer came into the ruling Gov't) into power(s) and forever poisoned the US-German lovefest.

Now, for example when both countries are run by right wingers-they are as far apart as ever. The Bush Doctrine is really Reaganll and Reagan was really Nero version 100,001.

When JFK famously talked down Kruschev on his dinky ss-4's on Cuban soil he also had to redirest his Titans both in Omaha and in Turkey. Balance, couterbalance,counter-counterb­alance- all a myth rewritten every generation by mediapolems. Nobody likes to look as if they backed down.

The crazy Kaczinsky twins who run Poland have no support from their people on this new Arms Race- the Czechs have their domestic problems, too over the BushCheney dream shield. These antagonisms will undoubtedly further marginalize our NeoBabylon.

Soon it will be The US and Israel against everybody else. The new Iron Curtain will be a tent.
