So imagine that Cuba wasn't.
Imagine the Cold War was still on and the Soviets put a defense shield on Cuba.Would you be smug then?

Then under your doctrine, the Czech Republic is no more under the US's influence either, than Cuba is under Russias.
You still never answered my question either - How does a missile shield in the Czech Republic protect the US from IRAN? Obvious isnt it, it doesnt!

What doctrine? The Monroe Doctrine doesn't say ANYTHING about Europe- it doesn't say it's in the US' sphere of influence, it doesn't say it's not. NATO, however, gives us an entirely different reality.
Are you familiar with the Monroe Doctrine? If not, don't speak about American foreign policy, you'll only look ignorant.

Did you ask that question? Of course it doesn't do anything about Iran, it's about Russia. They don't want to actually say that aloud though. This isn't rocket science.

remind me again which Iranian missile can actually REACH europe?
oh thats right
NONE.
the range of the shahab 3 will splash into the sea south of greece.
fear mongering at its worst from the USA.again.
There is no need to be rude.
I am well aware of the Monroe Doctrine, I was merely saying that under your 'thinking', that Cuba then comes under Russia's influence, since the Czech republic seems to now come under the USA's.
....... and that is the whole point of this thread - It has NOTHING WHATSOVER to do with Iran or its supposed missiles.
Its the US yet again stirring up someone elses backyard - Its time for the US to look out for its own backyard.
