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

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

Nasobrahan ata ng laro ng C&C tong mga leaders nato Nananahimik yung lugar tapos lalagyan mo ng missile defense..

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.

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.

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

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.
