Russia views the planned deployment of ten US missiles in Poland and a radar facility the Czech Republic as a threat.

Why we are picking a fight with Russia and claiming these are defensive weapons in case Iran attacks Poland when everyone knows that is complete BS?

Russia is in another Cold War with us there is no denying. Their blatant support of Islamic terrorists, which are killing out troops needs to be countered. In the long run we need to face down the neo-Stalinists in Moscow. Protecting us and our allies in Eastern and Central Europe from the bear’s claws, while at the same time limiting the Sovi... eh Russian capabilities is only reasonable. I say bring it on Putin!

Because its not BS. They are defensive weapons; and yes can be used if Iran (Syria, insert another crazy ass country) launches ICBMs at Europe. Yes they can also be used for Russia and its not just aimed at Iran. However the real question is why is Russia so bent out of shape about 10 defensive missiles, if they are full of love and joy and no ill plans for europe or the U.S.

The only one picking a fight is Russia. Putin and his KGB cronies need some distractions while they steal everything not tied down in Russia. Plus, their pride is hurt by the fact that they’re a dying country demographically with a useless military. In a few more years, even their ICBM’s will be worthless against our missile defenses.
