The Pershing II missiles presented a significant deterrent to the Soviet Union.

Holy smokes. Can you imagine what could result from a face-to-face standoff between Vlad and zero? When RR did this deployment, I think we all knew that we were dealing with a principled and predictable force for good. Now, not so much.

WWIII started 25 June 1950. It has taken a short pause only. So far we've lost 100,000 KIA in this ongoing War. It wasn't COLD.

This is most likely leaked by the white house in order
to jump start anti-American protests in Europe, laid
on top of US tortures little innocent children...

The Pentagon would have to find a country willing to have these put in, which may not be easy.

[ASA Vet]
