the exact location, in this instance, makes no real difference. At BEST, Turkey is just past mid-point.But you dont know exactly WHERE the lauch sites in Iran will be placed Goobieman, so you cant really say that.
Consider, too, that if you -were- right, and a interceptor base in Turkey -would- be as effecive as one in Poland/Czech Republic, then said site would be effective against Russian ICBMs as well.
Seems to me that he Russians are squawking about the MDS because of its effect on their deterrent.The Russians are not interested in bombing and destroying Europe, which alot of people fail to remember.
Russia to rearm military as NATO expands: Medvedev
This is what you get when a stupid republican decides to build a military defence shield conviently beside Russia to defuse an Iranian threat to the west that currently does not exist. Place it in Turkey or in Israel for god sakes. WHY the eastern bloc?
The "shield" provides about as much protection as a panty liner. It doesn't freakin work. And the Russians know this. Their repeated efforts to get in our faces are merely a pathetic attempt to persuade themselves that they are still a superpower. Their thinking is 30 years out of date.
We should ignore this nonsense and avoid getting sucked backward in time -- otherwise, he next thing you know we'll be building a wooden stockade around Washington to keep the Apaches out.
The defense shield is anything but pointless. In the event of a limited exchange it gives the president the option to mitigate the threat without escalating to a total nuclear apocalypse. You call that "pointless?"

That they exist and that countries are building them?What makes you think that Russia, or quite frankly anyone else will use ICBMs in this day and age?
Threat A necessitates Defense AIf I was a terrorists or a ruler of a country that was on poor terms with the US, a ICBM would be the last choice for delivery. It would be far easier to smuggle in parts for a nuclear weapon...
Are you talking about the US grid?Screw 'em.
Let the blow trillions of rubbles on modernization. That entire wealth is based off of hydrocarbon and mineral wealth. If we can get off oil as a mainstay for the electrical grid, oil prices will drop...
Don't be a tool. Russia was going to build up anyway, it's the only direction they have. Man, where the hell have you been for 20 years?Russia to rearm military as NATO expands: Medvedev

Since Vladimir Putin is no longer head of Russia ... I would say the time is right for his liquidation.
Once his influence is gone Russia will be able to un-**** itself.

Putin was going to do it anyway, NATO has been around for decades, it's just an excuse.Yes, but when used in the context of "to diffuse a NATO threat", then there will be cause for concern. Especially when taking into account the bully tactics used by the Russians to surrounding countries. To think they will be more advanced in a few years time and continue to bully surrounding countries is worrying. Especially because it is already seeking to expand its influence in the area. So what the hell has your assertion got to do with anything? :roll:
Putin was going to do it anyway, NATO has been around for decades, it's just an excuse.
Oh yeah, the big commie was never interested in rebuilding the military. I don't even need to show proof of that, it's obvious.

If they were truely obsoluete, then they would all be dismantled.
Threat A necessitates Defense A
Threat B necessitates Defense B
That Defense A does not affect Threat B is not an argument against Defense A.
Why don't you read the papers, you think he's sailing to Cuba on vacation or what?Hmm or you just cant find any?
