Deutsche Welle: US could potential deploy missiles in Europe to deter Russia
The US is considering deploying missiles in Europe in response to an alleged nuclear treaty violation by Russia. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter will meet security officials in Stuttgart Friday ahead of a G7 summit.
The United States is mulling an array of potential responses to Russia's suspected violation of a Cold War-era nuclear treaty, including deploying missile systems in Europe capable of pre-emptively destroying Russian weapons.
The potential missile deployment, or "counterforce" is one of the options under consideration by the Obama administration as it crafts a response to Russia's intervention in Ukraine, its annexation of Crimea and other actions deemed provocative.
WNU Editor: If this U.S. missile deployment does occur .... we will be in a new Cold War.

well if they do that then russia should surly put theres in cuba see how they like it what do u think happen then
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure Russia already has such things in Cuba. Actually I think we are already in a new Cold War. The US, for its part, should do all it can to extricate itself from Europe and a conflict with Russia.
ReplyDeletePerhaps some type of agreement could be reached. The US vacates all of the former Soviet Bloc countries, Eastern Europe, and Western Europe if necessary. In exchange, Russia withdraws support from bitter enemies of America such as Cuba and Iran. Some of the details may need to be worked out and it may not be possible due to deep mistrust between the parties.
