It isnt defending Czechs and Poles. Get out a globe, look at Iran,,,trace your way to New York and DC by the direct route. A missile in its early boost phase passes over Czech republic, where the radar plots it. Then missiles are fired from poland for the intercept.
This never had anything to do with Russia. It was a mere handful of missiles, like 10 or so. Russia could easily overwhelm that. Also any russian launch tracks wouldnt pass over europe, they would fly over the polar region.
Russia knew the missiles had nothing to do with them, and had an ulterior diplomatic motive. Obama the amateur got owned by them. This was a minor thing he could easily have won.
Yeah, apparantly it’s all about IRAN. And so they are moving the system closer to IRAN. Doesn’t really sound like caving in to me. If it’s a better way to defend against Iran, I’m for it. If it makes Russia happy too, so what?
I really have mixed emotions on this. I appreciate your comments however we have navsats around the globe and intercept aircraft and missile’s for any long ride here.
I think europe should pay for its own defense - they have not and want the american taxpayer to pay for them.
There is nothing stoping either country from buying and implementing their own defense.
Are that many people in the leadership of America really so much in favor of bald-faced treason? One of the few legitimate functions of government is to protect its people; here we have an administration that is usurping all kinds of roles government is NOT supposed to have, while doing what it can to undermine its legitimate roles. We need regime change, urgently.
Obamalamadingdong chose the 70th anniversary, to the day, of the Soviet Union's invasion of Poland to make this announcement. Accident? Chance? This plan has been in the works for months. He could have chosen any day this week, but he chooses September 17th to make this announcement. If Russia never had anything to do with it isn't the timing kind of odd?
I think Putin liked Bush. Of course, they were never buddies but at least Putin respected Bush and realized he couldn’t be bullied.
He understands Obama also. Thus the contempt.
Any kind of missile defense in Europe could grow into something which threatens the ability of the Russian state to bully Eastern and Western Europe (and us) with its nukes. I dreamed that would eventually happen. What a disgusting phenomenon is Russia: a huge country with a smaller GNP than Scandinavia, but the largest nuclear armament in the world. The world will not be safe until Russia collapses or is liberated.
