Russia denounces Trump’s plan for Iron Dome missile defence system
Times UK ^ | 1/31/2025 | Tom Parfitt

The Kremlin has accused President Trump of attempting to erode Russia and China’s nuclear potential with his plan for an Iron Dome missile defence system.

The programme was “yet another confirmation of the US focus on turning space into a scene of armed confrontation and deployment of weapons”, Maria Zakharova, the chief spokeswoman of the Russian foreign ministry, said.

Trump issued an executive order on Monday mandating a process to develop an “Iron Dome for America”, a reference to the aerial defence shield used by Israel.

Zakharova said that this implied “a sharp intensification of the US national missile defence project and its expansion to a scale comparable to Star Wars, [the former US president Ronald] Reagan’s strategic defence initiative”.

The project would “by no means contribute to reducing tensions or improving the state of affairs in the strategic sphere, including the creation of a basis for a fruitful dialogue on strategic offensive arms,” she added.

<< “The project would “by no means contribute to reducing tensions or improving the state of affairs in the strategic sphere” >>

That’s because the goal is to protect our nation, not to reduce our enemies’ tensions.

It’s time for you to stop your maniacal Russia hate and focus on getting Trump’s cabinet appointments over the finish line.

Russia is a vassal of China. China is biding their time and will take out Putin when they feel it’s the right time.

“Do they have Victoria’s Secret in Moscow?”

Yes. Quick search shows three outlets in Moscow. So aging first wives of oligarchs can try to compete with the current mistress.

“focus on getting Trump’s cabinet appointments over the finish line.”

This seems like excellent advice for yourself really. Stop whining at other peoples informative posts and do something useful.

That’s like the Mafia saying police are escalating violence by wearing bullet proof vests.

Defending America is not going to hurt you guys.
