Should Russia trust the US building a missle system in europe?

Question

Is George Bush making history (again) by re-igniting the cold war the Ronald Reagan was instrumental in bringing to and end?

Answer 1

did you know the US sells more weapons than it buys? Did you know the Nazis were driving American made vehicles? Did you know Clinton bombed one out of two health care centers mistakenly in a third world country and got away scotch free (Many people died because there weren't enough medical supplies to go around?

Answer 2

No! No! no! No! This has little more to do with peace than it does to leverage control and Russia and China both know that.

"Imagine....Russia, we can, at will, turn you into a radioactive pancake within 20 minutes and if you should try to retaliate your missiles will never leave the ground."

Although the system is not so advanced, anything akin to that is America's trump card. Suddenly, diplomacy and bargaining fall second to sheer American demand.

Russia is wise to point its missiles at Europe, because this missile defense is, on its own, quite offensive as well.

Good job, GW, turn back the clock on the Cold War, one of the scariest periods in human history.

If Bush were truly interested in peace, he'd assemble a team of Chinese, Russian and American scientist to assemble a joint shield, that when deployed, would make *all* nuclear missiles obsolete.

If America was interested in peace...rather than domination.

Answer 3

They should. But they will not. I have to laugh when I hear that it is George Bush and not Mr. Putin re-igniting the cold war. It is trendy to accuse the US of everything nowadays but this really goes too far.
PS: Where were you freedom fighters when Soviet Union was occupying half of Europe?? (Estonia 1944 -- 1990, Czechoslovakia 1968 -- 1991 and many others...)

Answer 4

As to why they are going to be placed in jap Europe....i do no longer comprehend. I wasn't invited to that talk. Russia shouldn't experience threatened with the aid of this style of gadget because of the fact it fairly is incapable of effectively protecting against the form of missile barrage that the Russians are able to turning in. it fairly is designed around a small scale attack (in step with risk some missiles). Such assaults are a lot greater probably to originate from rogue/militant agencies (ie terrorists). Russia's rhetoric is in step with concern of being bumped off the stability of means sooner or later. they provide the impression of being to think of they have some thing we could want. From what i've got considered, there is not any longer something there (different than probably some circumstances of vodka) that would activity the U. S. or our allies. The chilly conflict is over. there is not any logical rationalization for a strike against the Russians. A missile protection gadget would not "factor east" as you describe. Missiles might desire to be focused and can be reported to point a definite course. A missile protection gadget is protecting in nature and as such scans the sky in all instructions to stumble on any available threats. in the event that they have been "pointed" in a definite course, they might purely preserve against assaults from that course considering the fact that there does no longer be time to re-aim them for the duration of a missile attack. additionally, I heavily doubt that jap Europe is the only place the gadget would be placed.

Answer 5

HELL NO!

Bush was the first U.S. President to rescind the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.
Missile Defense, which has not come close to working, is Welfare for the Defense Contractors and an Escalation of the Nuclear Arms Race. Insanity!

Answer 6

Russia is trying to spark new tensions because countries that were in its sphere of infLence are no longer willing to be subservient to Russia. Putin, a former head of the Soviet KGB is trying to ignite tensions and re-assert it's power in Eastern Europe. In the Past, The Soviet Union was trying to match the power of the United States, and since there was so transparancy in their government, we believed that they had the ability to confront us. This never was the case in reality. They were lagging behind before and now it's visible to everyone that they are the inferior force.

Answer 7

Yes, cuz we're the nice guys. Bush even offered the Russians open inspections. What else could you ask for?

Answer 8

I don't see what the Russians are all getting their underwear in a bunch about because we don't use our weapons for evil, we use them for good. And who is our target people?! IRAQ/IRAN! Not Russia We are the U.S.A. The greatest country on earth. And if anyone thinks otherwise, GET OUT! And move to Canada or something! You must learn to apprciate your country, just because of G.W.Bush, people think we're a suck-ish country. NO! We have a suck-ish president!

Answer 9

We are the ones with the free and open society. We are the ones who invited their generals and their scientists in to look at this system. If you want to start trusting an known liar like Russia there is no hope for you.

Answer 10

Of course, Russia doesn't trust people who lied about Iraq.
Recently I've seen Putin/Rice press-conference, Putins answers definetely turned her cheeks red: she lies like Pinocchio and she knows about it.
Putin will not argue if USA place the missiles in Israel, the real target for Iran.
