Europe faces Russian nuclear missile threat

Posted by Matt in July 12th, 2008

How would we like it if Russia placed interceptor missiles in Cuba or Venezuela? That question is disingenuous. Both Russia and China have been quietly helping Iran with its missile and nuclear programs. And now they’re mad that we actually want to protect ourself from a rogue state that they’ve been helping for years. That’s just too bad.

I should mention that I’m against the U.S. providing missile defense to Europe. My reasoning is that most Europeans are anti-American, so does it make sense to go out of our way to defend Europe? They don’t even want our missile defense system.

From the article:

“These missiles would be pointed at Europe. It would be a perfectly legitimate step. If America wants to expand its military capabilities in Europe, then we have the right to act accordingly.”

The source disputed America’s claim that the shield was intended to intercept missiles only from rogue states. “How would Washington feel if we placed interceptor missiles on Cuba or Venezuela?” he said.

US missile defense in Europe: a new Cold War
Information: http://www.nenasili.cz/en/ Sign the petition:: http://www.nonviolence.cz Dear friend, The Czech Parliament will have to take a stand about the construction of a U.S. military base and probably it will vote in favour of its installation, even though 70% of the population opposes this plan.Given the urgency of the situation, we have launched an on-line petition to exert pressure on the Parliament and ask that the matter be resolved with a referendum. The NMD project of the United States -- their national missile defense system, is a very complex project which involves the production of new weapons, and the installation of American military bases in different parts of the planet. In particular, in Europe, the first step is the installation of a radar system in the Czech...

European Ballistic Missile Defense
The United States has signed a deal with Poland allowing it to install missiles at a base on the Baltic Sea. It already has an agreement to build a radar station in the Czech Republic. The deals form part of US plans for a European missile defence shield to counter what it describes as the threat from "rogue states" such as Iran. Iran recently carried out new tests of its Shahab-3 ballistic missile, which is said to have a range of 2,000km (1,240 miles). But Russia says the US plan is unnecessary and has threatened to retaliate militarily if the missile defence system is built.

Russia threatened by US Missile Shield in Europe
US signed missile defense shield in former CCCP satellite province. Our Russian General Yuri Baluyevsky said, "We have no plans to attack anyone, but we consider it necessary for all our partners in the world community to clearly understand ... that to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Russia and its allies, military forces will be used, including preventively, including with the use of nuclear weapons." Our Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin says Russia's launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile was direct response to the planned U.S. missile defense shield and this will change the strategic balance in Europe. My response to this... My Russia is the largest nuclear power. NATO/US must realize otherwise direct attack of RUSSIAN FORCES is incoming. Russia is...

Rice Lied About Purpose of US Missile Defense Shield in Poland
http://nl.youtube.com/user/911NLP http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=8gEy9lC2KMc After the U.S. and the Polish Government agreed to put 10 U.S. funded missile defense intercepters on Polish soil, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice denied that it had anything to do with Russia, saying instead that they were being put there to defend Poland against North Korea or Iran. The only problem with that, um, LIE, is that neither North Korea nor Iran have any missiles that can reach Poland, and even if they built some, Iran and North Korea don't have any political disagreements with Poland. So she's either lying here, or she's so incredibly mis-informed about international politics that she should resign from her post immediately. Clip is from the August 22, 2008 edition of Countdown with Keith...

Rice signs missile defense deal with Poland By VANESSA GERA and MONIKA SCISLOWSKA, Associated Press Writers 2 hours, 1 minute ago WARSAW, Poland - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her Polish counterpart signed a deal Wednesday to build a U.S. missile defense base in Poland, an agreement that prompted an infuriated Russia to warn of a possible attack against the former Soviet satellite. ADVERTISEMENT Rice dismissed blustery comments from Russian leaders who say Warsaw's hosting of 10 U.S. interceptor missiles just 115 miles from Russia's westernmost frontier opens the country up to attack. Such comments "border on the bizarre frankly," Rice said, speaking to reporters traveling with her in Warsaw. "When you threaten Poland, you perhaps forget that it is not 1988," Rice said....

Bush: missile defense system not aimed at Russia
Hi, I'm Kristin with today's news update on this Tuesday, the first day of April 2008. President Bush says a planned missile defense system in Eastern Europe is no threat to Russia. His comments come two days before a NATO summit that's expected to take up the issue. Russia and some other countries have expressed concern about the system, saying it could be used for offensive reasons. The president disputed that point and said the system is designed to guard against imminent threats from Iran and North Korea. Meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is calling on the President to boycott the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games in Beijing this summer. Pelosi said the boycott would be in protest of China's human rights record. The Bush administration has accused that country of human...

After reading this article I have come to the conclusion that perhaps it’s not such a bad idea for the US to station some anti missile missiles in Poland etc. just in case Iran did threaten to attack Latvia or Estonia or some such place. And it’s not really such a bad idea for Russia to station some of those same type missiles in Venezuela and Cuba just in case Argentina or Brazil or Peru decided to fire some missiles at Moscow in the future.
It is certainly better to be safe than sorry. If I were President Medvedev I would certainly plan on working out some deal to intercept missiles that could in the future be fired from South America at Moscow. After that Falklands war you just never can tell about those Argentinians who have shown themselves to be ready to take on the British Empire.

That missile shield is targeted against Russia.

The range of Iran’s recent ballistic missiles does not even justify placing them in Poland.

Now placing them in Turkey would be justified but Poland? C’mon.

We all know the truth with NATO trying to expand east, missile shields in eastern Europe the U.S. is targeted Russia and her nuke fleet because Russia is the world’s largest oil and natural gas producer.

oxi…you are absolutely correct. The US, or more directly, this administration is after other peoples resources. Bush and Cheney and their cronies are salivating after the energy resources in Iraq, Iran and Russia. We cannot use them all but IF we control them we would rule the World…that is Dick Cheney’s idea anyway. He even said so.
It will probably get us into a nuclear (or as Bush says,,NUUKULAR) war.
We’ve never had a government so dangerous for the welfare of the American people…if only they would wake up.
