Any defensive weapons system can be used as an offensive weapons system. Case in point.. anti-aircraft guns. They are defensive, and yet were often used offensively during WW2.
Imagine you and I don't like each other. (tough, I know!) We both have guns pointed at each other. If either pulls the trigger, the other will too. We both die.
Now picture I am also building a wall of bricks as we sit in this standoff. Eventually the wall will be high enough to protect me from your gun (with a slot I can still aim and fire through to kill you). Eventually, I will have the ability to kill you and you will lack the ability to retaliate.
What do you do?
Mitt was right... Obama was WRONG...
IM SHOCKED
Announcing what would be "targeted" is not a threat of war whatsoever. Rather, it was just announcing the obvious. If Denmark becomes part of NATO then it becomes part of responsive targeting. So what? No surprise. No threat. Just obvious reality.
But Travis was right. Obama Was wrong, and that stupid " reset " button was just on of many of his Foreign Policy blunders.
we wouldn't survive a nuclear war with Russia. luckily, it's not going to happen. even the hawks in congress aren't that stupid. well, most of them, anyway. McCain wants war with everyone.
Well, no, because the idiot that laughed off Romney's warning regarding Putin with an idiotic "The 80s called" joke is still the same idiot in the White House and the same idiot that gave Russia a poorly translated "Reset" button as Obama's Sec. of State is the same idiot who is the Democrat frontrunner in 2016.
Nonsense.
The economy sucks and the Stock market is being held up with QE qne and ZIRP.
Corporations and Banks don't " hoard " money when the economy is " good ".
And NO, we're not " all doing better " than we were doing in 2008.
Millions of people never recovered and arw still unemployed
How can a massive immobile ABM missile be used offensively ? Please cite an example
Well the only type I know of is the Patriot missile.... a missile is a missile.. point/reprogram and shoot.
But a SAM is a defensive weapon too. How can you attack using a SAM ?
Tell that to Malaysian Airlines flight 17.
The rebels were using that weapon system for defence not attack. MH17 was a case of mistaken identity
How does a defensive system threaten Russia in any way ?
I bet it sure felt like offense to the passengers.
May I ask why you attack virtually every single foreign policy of the U.S. but have no issues defending Ruissia when they makes threats to a country that has never attacked them and pose no real threat to them and simply want a way to protect their country from nuclear attack. Would you also defend the U.S. if it made such threats. Judging by your posting history I think we all know the answer to that.What's wrong with you. I explained to you that what you and I think is irrelevant! Russia feels threatened by an ever expanding NATO, and as such they're going to respond in their interests. You can let your blood pressure elevate, allow yourself to hyperventilate, beat your chest about Russia if it improves your morale. One things certain, Russia has been very clear that they intend to push back on uni-polar hegemony, BRICS, AIIB and alliances signed back in 2001 with China are some of the measures. It is what it is flogger.
This is based on the assumption that Putin is rational rather than the delusional nut job that he is.
It's not "we will attack if you do this." Im sure you know that, though, unlike some others in the thread.
it's a silly dick measuring contest. we need to concentrate on our own country instead of jerking off while reminiscing of the cold war.
Then you're incapable of comprehension.

Russia has threatened to target Denmark’s warships with nuclear weapons if the Scandinavian nation becomes a member of Nato’s missile defence shield.
Russia threatens Denmark with nuclear weapons if it tries to join Nato defence shield - Europe - World - The Independent
Putin knows damn well what a nuclear attack on a NATO member means, this is the last straw, this man Adolf Putler needs to be stopped by any means necessary, it is incumbent on any person in the world capable of doing so to assassinate this insane genocidal monster.

Putin is the aggressor here, HE wants to recreate the USSR. Thats where the problem lies.

You never once seem to miss an opportunity to attack the U.S. for looking out for its best interest and the intrest of the US economy but somehow it is perfectly acceptable to you for Russia to do the same. Why is that.
