Gee, how unreasonable of them to aim back at weapons that are aimed at them.
Quoting: weegie What they are targeting is the missile defense system. It is a system designed to take missles out of the air, not unlike anti aircraft artillery but specific to missiles, not manned aircraft. To the best of my knowledge, it is purely defensive. It's not purely defensive if it neutralizes Russia's nuclear deterrent, and changes the whole balance of power. It could theoretically allow the US to launch a nuclear first strike without any fear of retaliation. Can you imagine the Russians deploying defensive missiles close to the American border? The US would be going crazy about it... Exactly what I have been saying for days. It takes out the second strike capability, that is what Russia is gunning against with regard to the Defense System. It makes no sense to have a Non-Proliferation Treaty as well as Arms Reduction Treaties if the Russians capability of second strike is knocked out by a Air Defense System. This is why the US needs to handle this better- it essentially makes the Non-Proliferation Treaty and Arms Reduction Treaties null and void. So, then proliferation can and will be started up again.
