Russia on Tuesday warned the United States against sending a ballistic missile defence system to South Korea, saying it could threaten regional security.

Washington says it wants to deploy the system, known as THAAD, to South Korea as a deterrent to military provocation by North Korea.

"Such a development cannot but cause concern about the destructive influence of the United States' global missile defence on international security," Russia's foreign ministry said in a statement.

Here is another example of how evil Putin is and another opportunity for his fan club to denounce, in this case, the South Koreans for not being a) strong enough to stop Putin and North Korea (how many FReepers are in North Korea?), b) as Christian as the great and Christ-loving and true conservative Putin.

EXcuse me?

Putin needs to do a series reality check.

Back in the USSR!

We should Deploy it.

I’d think even the Chinese would approve of this sustem. The Norks are a PIA for them, even if they are useful as a thorn in our side.

Why does Russia always worry about everyone else’s defense?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Typical of Putin, inverting the meaning of words. The only thing destabilizing about missile defense shields is Putin himself, whining about what we’re doing while apparently not developing his own missile defenses.

The only other thing destabilizing about the missile defense would be some nutty North Korean reaction.

Ping.

Putin's aggression toward the U.S. is a direct result of Obozo leaning over and whispering (hot mic) to Russian president Medeved, “after the election, I will have more latitude”.

The Russians (former Soviet Union) knew they were dealing with a capitulator and a weak leader.

Hook, line and sinker. Now, they are daring Obozo to make a move.

Should have had missile defense South Korea, but we were TOO BUSY thinking that the Cold War was over and that we finally achieved “Peace in our Day”.

Sucks that Russia is calling the shots now. Too bad we basically ceded world leadership to them, at least in the military area. Even on this site the people beating the war drums now were NOWHERE TO BE SEEN for 20 years - and they STILL cannot accept the fact that we need some SERIOUS cash infusion into our military.
