One day you and I may decide that missile defence systems can be deployed on the Moon, but before we get there the possibility of reaching an
agreement may be lost because you will have implemented your own plans
This has actually nothing to do with the Moon, so let us return to Earth. It is about US missile shield in Europe, which annoys Russia very much. US
and Russia came to some kind of partial agreement about joint US-Russia ballistic missile defense in Azerbaijan. That is what this Moon allegory is
all about.
Furthermore, Russians have announced their their withdrawal from
Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty.
But since Condi went to Moscow, this should be a very important meeting. Makes me wonder - what else will they discuss there?
