Russia‘s president has threatened to deploy missiles to target the US missile shield in Europe if Washington fails to give a legal action if the shield continued to be built without a binding agreement outlining it would not be aimed against Russia.
US, used to taking nations for granted as it has been with the likes of Egypt,Pakistan, is.one of thee days going to take Moscow for granted and is going to get hit.
Unfortunately the world will be hit for the worse.
For a bankrupt nation this brinkmanship is uncalled for.
Some one will call US’s bluff,possibly Iran?
Time US behaved measuredly
The US has repeatedly assured Moscow that its proposed missile defence system would not be directed against Russia’s nuclear forces and reinforced its stance again. “I do think it’s worth reiterating that the European missile defense system that we’ve been working very hard on with our allies and with Russia over the last few years is not aimed at Russia,” said Capt. John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesman. “It is … designed to help deter and defeat the ballistic missile threat to Europe and to our allies from Iran.”
But Medvedev said Moscow would not be satisfied by simple declarations and wants a legal guarantee setting out the boundaries. He added: “When we propose to put it on paper in the form of precise and clear legal obligations, we hear a strong refusal.”
