So do you believe that there really isn’t ANY reason for the US to percieve that places like Iran and North Korea really haven’t threatened us with nuclear strike, and IF they did we don’t really have any good reason to believe them? After all both countries have a history of really sane and down-to-earth leadership. AND even if ANY of the above is true, “Washington” is simply using it as an excuse to further their desire for world domination.

Oh and by-the-way, in case you didn’t know, putting interceptors in Eastern Europe doesn’t protect the US from ANY Russian missiles. Russia shoots over the poles to strike the US, and any interceptors we could launch from Europe would in fact be chasing AND losing that battle. Why? Look up BALLISTIC and try to figure out how FAST a missile can be before it becomes an object bound for interstellar space.

I think it is possible that Iran and North Korea are a threat to us and have no problem with the missle defense system which I think is awesome for that type of threat. Line the US with missle defense systems if you want.
What I do not believe is that putting missle defense in Lithuania is a response to that threat. I think something else is going on there. From looking at a map, you would have to believe that the missle defense in Lithuania is to defend Norway and Sweden? I suppose that is possible but it not likely why they are doing that. I think it is more likely they are messing with Russia.
