Don't mess in another superpower's sphere of influence. This will have blowback.


If the US was giving nuclear technology hand over fist to Russia?s enemies then I expect they would.

The need for the anti-missile system is 100% Russia?s fault by giving nuclear technology to unstable regimes that pose a threat to the US and Europe. They knew exactly what they were doing, knew it was wrong and did it any way now it is going to bite them in the ass and that is just tough. They will be gimped because of it and deservedly so!
Russia hasn't given anyone nuclear tech.

Not sure you can say the same about the US.

Why would they need one there?

Doesn't the Ukraine have a right to missle defense on their OWN territory?

Otherwise strikes me a odd to threaten to target a country for installing missle defense. I mean, what's the point? They'll have missle defense.

Hehe, you're referring to Russia as a "super power". That was the USSR, they've shruken significantly since then.

Who do you think has had and still have large numbers of scientists and engineers in Iran helping design, build, and run their nuclear facilities? Who do you think has been supplying them with the vital parts like centrifuges?

That would be Russia!

 
What's the problem? I would think that 50 million less people on earth would fit quite nicely into your population control agenda, Socio.

Russia threatens nuclear attack on Ukraine

Russia has threatened to target the Ukraine with nuclear warheads if the former Soviet republic joins Nato and accepts the deployment of United States anti-missile defences on its territory.


The Russian and Ukrainian leaders had just held emergency talks in the Kremlin
President Vladimir Putin of Russia warned Ukraine's leader Viktor Yushchenko of "retaliatory actions" should his country join the Western alliance during a joint press conference in Moscow.



"It's frightening not just to talk about this, but even to think about, that in response to such deployment, the possibility of such deployments - and one can't theoretically exclude these deployments - that Russia will have to point its warheads at Ukrainian territory," he said

I think Vladimir Putin is way ahead of Bush on mad dictator points some one really needs to euthanize him before the idiot starts pressing launch buttons.

POINT!=ATTACK

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia warned Iran on Wednesday that its development of rockets and continued uranium enrichment was creating the impression Tehran was intentionally ignoring the concerns of the international community.

"We do not approve of Iran's actions in constantly demonstrating its intentions to develop its rocket sector and continue enriching uranium," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told Russian news agencies.
