MOSCOW: Russias nuclear weapons chief threatened on Monday to target a planned US missile defence shield in central Europe if Washington fails to take into account Moscows worries, the Interfax news agency reported.
General Nikolai Solovtsov, head of strategic missile forces, said that such a decision could be taken if the US shield is seen to undermine the Russian nuclear deterrent capability. In that case, I do not exclude... the missile defence shield sites in Poland and the Czech Republic being chosen as targets for some of our intercontinental ballistic missiles, Solovtsov said, according to Interfax.
Washington says the plans to install radar in the Czech Republic and 10 interceptor rockets in Poland would guard against theoretical missile strikes from rogue nations such as Iran, without denting Russias massive nuclear offensive arsenal. But Moscow claims the United States is exaggerating the threat from Iran and describes the shield as the thin end of a wedge aimed at changing the current balance of military power.

” well he made me; he did it first; everyone was out to get me so I did it to them “
next time he looks into a soul, I hope he has glasses on
i guess the shield concept is lost on them...
So I’manutjob decides to lob one at Ramstein and Russia buys in to the attack by firing on the inteceptors? Pooty poot won’t let his kleptocracy glow in the dark. Not gonna happen. This is bluster aimed at the weak sisters in the US Congress.
The “states” of the EU wanted to unite to be a sovereign nation, so let them provide for their own common defense. We need to “redeploy” out of Europe.
Well ladi freakin' da.
