United States missile defense complex in Poland
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_missile_defense_complex_in_Poland
The United States missile defense complex in Poland, also called the European Interceptor Site (EIS), was a planned American missile defense base. It was intended to contain 10 silo-based interceptors: two-stage versions of the existing three-stage Ground Based Interceptors with Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicles that had a closing speed of about 7 km/s. The first planned complex was to be located near Redzikowo, Poland, forming a Ground-Based Midcourse Defense system in conjunction with a U.S. narrow-beam midcourse tracking and discrimination radar system located in Brdy, Czech Republic. EIS was cancelled in 2009 and subsequently replaced with a phased plan—the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System, which will include SM-3 Block IIA interceptors to be positioned in Poland from 2018.
If Canada was friendly with the Ruskies and allowed them to place troops, tanks, and missile interceptors on their soil how would Obama and the DC crowd react? How concerned would you be?
DC is on offense. Russia is on defense. The District of Criminals is doing everything they can to start WW3.
Jack, your one sided presentation here is mush.
Who invaded another state, and absorbed an island?
Did NATO do that?
All that you mention here was done in reaction of Russian invading it’s neighbor, and being intentionally obtuse as to what his next plans were.
Obama is an idiot, but we couldn’t simply allow Russia to invade nations at will.
If Putin had pulled his head out, had acted as a reasoned leader, and had requested to join NATO, I’ll bet it would have been put under advisement at the very least.
He could have been our ally, not China’s.
He was belligerent towards the U. S. long before we made any moves he could spin as you are.
