>> So Russia and China want to have the ability to fire missiles at Eastern Europe ?

No Iran does. /sarc

Components of a world wide missile shield, and trust me this is the goal, have to be dispersed worldwide. And if the USA should be the potential target of a missile from Russia or Iran, you would want your systems to be placed as close to the launch site as possible.

Why the hell would Iran want to fire into Eastern Europe? It wouldn’t. And neither would Russia or China. But Russia wants the USSR back and that would be easier were the ex republics less integrated with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

Russia and China are the real worry. But diplomatic etiquette does not recommend that to be openly stated because that would open everyones hand and rush the end of the game.

Perhaps that 1,300 year old war between Islam and Christianity has something to do with it. Or perhaps that 2,500 year old East West conflict (Persia) has something to do with it. Or perhaps that Mahdi Apocalypse Theology has something to do with it. But the rest of your points are well taken.

Actually, my FRiend, I wouldn’t be surprised if Iran fired missiles into Turkey if they had the capability. After all, people like Ahmadinejad think that peaceful Muslims like yourself are traitors.

In short, if he had all the bombs he wanted, the only safe countries would be those run by hirabist crazies.

You’re talking about how Russia wants the USSR back ... well ... the Feds want to combine Canada, and Mexico with the US. Oh, and then there’s 400 US military bases scattered throughout the world. Russia doesn’t have any of that. So it would appear the US Feds are the imperialist ones.
