Russia Watch

Russia is planning to target U.S. missile shield sites in Central Europe. There are 10 interceptors proposed for the site, which is no match for the massive Russian arsenal consisting of thousands of nuclear missiles. Still, the Russians feel threatened by the site, and under Putin the nationalist, they are flexing their muscles. Of course, the missile defense sites in Poland and the Czech Republic are a response to the Russians arming their Iranian friends with nuclear missile technology. Interestingly, the nations near Russia are now suddenly on board for cooperating with the U.S. after witnessing what happened to Georgia.
