First the warning was for Poland and they seems to be giving it a lot of concern but now the attention is on Czech Republic and we all know they and Russia go a long way back. For Russia if the initial deal which was sign by washington about its controversial missile defence system go ahead the only way to respond is by military not diplomatic if the shield is ever deployed.

The deal, signed by US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in Prague on Tuesday, allows a tracking radar base to be set up on Czech territory.
Speaking after signing, Ms Rice said that the US and its allies faced "a growing missile threat that is getting ever longer and ever deeper" from Iran.
The Russian news agency Interfax earlier quoted a senior Russian official as saying the deal "complicates" global security.
In talks on Monday, US President George W Bush, attending his last G8 summit, and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, attending his first, made little progress on the issue of the US missile defence system.
