Russia: US missile shield has nothing to do with Iran

www.euronews.net

euronews: “The US says that if the Iranian nuclear problem is solved there will be no need for an ABM shield in Europe. Why does Russia refuse to see the connection here?”

Lavrov: “Well, the straightforward answer is because the third US ABM shield… the way it’s designed has nothing to do with Iran’s nuclear programme. It is aimed at Russian strategic forces, deployed in the European part of the Russian Federation.

Thats it then - there is no straighter way to say it: Missile shield is against Russia, not "rogue states" - like we have so many times heard... Thats Russian point of view.

- If there was still someone who believe official lies about missile shield.

Russia is opportunity - not a threat.

USA! Two Headed Eagle can be your best friend - or worst enemy. I suggest you choose the first option, and pack you gears from backyard of mighty old Russia.

Great point my friend. Why is it when Amerika does something like this it's always benevolent and when Russia trys it, it's always manevolent.

Us has invaded overtly or covertly invaded well over 100 countries since the end of World War Two (see "Nemesis" Chalmers Johnson - from Gore Vidal)......

Um, how many has Iran invaded....oooh NONE.

Everybody knows that shield is against Russia. Who is retard enough to believe that the shield is against some unknow rogue states?

That's pretty much always been my point of view. It's a thiny veiled continuation of the cold war, which was suppose to be over some time ago. Defensive missile installations can easily be turned on their heads and be used for other means.

BTW, missile defense is a huge waste of money. Someone should look into the political connections.

Keep swallowing the lies being perpetrated to put the U.S. as the bad guy, it is part of their plan to give sovereignty of the U.S. over to the UN and other foreign entities.

BTW Iran has been trying to influence what happens in IRaq by sending troops, and other forms of help...and of course people like you keep leaving out the fact that the Socialists/Communists have also been invading those countries the U.S. has gone to fight....

Possibly the worst thing that this " shield " does is provoke some to think that its possible to win a nuclear war .

Meh all this US-Russia talk ... if a war does start by either side, I just hope China isn't on Russia's side

That's a lot of people to fight off..
