the biggest irony of this news report is Putin accuses the west of backsliding democracy

[Monseratto]

Para siyang Cuban Missle Crises, linalagyan ng kalaban mo yung weapons nila to counter any advantage you have just next door.

Yup... coming from strongman Putin.

===

So what if Europe deploys an anti-missile shield? This is useful against future missile attacks from fundamentalist states like Iran.

It's a defense shield for crying out loud... then Putin counters with a threat of pointing nukes to Europe?

Putin is getting too paranoid.

[VtEC]

Russia is loosing control on his former allies and this act of putin is a threat to those who are thinking of joining the nato.He is trying to show the world that they still exist!!Let's wait and see who will give way.

If European countries felt threatened by Australia would the US be willing to allow a missile defence system on American soil.......I doubt it!

The Russians are not stupid and they recognise bullshit when they hear it.
I'm suprised the yanks can keep a straight face pretending it's for Europe's benefit.

[wildthing]

That could really be true...IMO War is a big business (for US).

1960's Khruschev placed missiles in Cuba, protection daw ni Castro
Kennedy nagalit ayaw nila may missile sa tabi nila..nag backdown si Khruschev

Ngayon US maglalagay missile sa Europe proptection from Iran? E may K din siguro Moscow na ayaw nila may missile sa tabi nila

Well, they'll be deploying it in European (NATO) not Russian soil.

Plus, a missile defense is also good for rogue missiles fired inadvertently by a computer malfunction or a crazy field commander.

If the shield is for US, they could've just deployed it in secrecy in Alaska, Hawaii or Canada.

teka, malabo nga yata that you put a missile defense system in the Czech Republic to counter a threat from Iran :hihihi:


kailan ba mabubuo ang ion cannon? :devil:

The big difference between the two is that the missiles the Russians put in Cuba are intermediate-range ICBM's designed to destroy cities in the US. They were offensive missiles with nuclear warheads. One of those Russian missiles with 2 or 3 warheads can erase an entire city.

The kind of missile the US will use in the missile shield is designed to destroy another missile. It should be relatively short-ranged and the warhead is most likely a fragmentation type, like a grenade. The whole inventory can be fired on one city and they'll barely make a dent assuming they have the range in the first place.

I'm with Putin, though. If there's an agreement between the US and Russia not to install a missile defense shield in Europe, then the US should abide by that agreement.

bakit kaya hindi na lang tayo lagyan ng missile shield
