Russia prepares first-strike against US Missile shield
 Russian President Dmitry Medvedev ordered the military to prepare to "destroy" the command capability of the planned U.S. missile-defense system in Europe. In other words, first strike capability versus command and control facilities - meaning missiles, likely theater nukes. Russia may also station strike missiles on its southern and western flanks, including Iskander rockets in the Kaliningrad exclave between Poland and Lithuania why does this Soviet artifact still exist? both members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the European Union, Medvedev said on state television today. Depending on spineless Obama to not threaten to return in kind and put the equivalent of Pershing missiles there in response. Betting on a toothless and gutless response from NATO is probably a safe bet. Posted by: OldSpook 2011-11-23 |
