So they took down the missile defenses and replaced them with offensive capability? Doesn’t that just guarantee more death if an attack was to take place?
This is likely a good move if their is a missile base there it could likely be reset to missile defense extremely quickly if needed or flat out set up that way in the first place. It wouldn’t be difficult to import interceptors along with the regular missiles. I am not an Obama fan, but that doesnt mean everything he does is stupid, this could be a smart thing. It takes the political pressure off and could yeild the same result.

It means they go back to MAD “Mutual Assured Destruction” but the mullahs don’t care about MAD. MAD doesn’t make them sad. It makes them happy.
It’s a face saving measure with obvious practical limitations.
Exactly. What??
