A missile shield in Romania, an angry bear in Moscow!
It’s difficult to understand the strategy behind US policy. What are we trying to accomplish with missile defense?
On the one hand, missile defense doesn’t work.
On the other hand, the alleged missile attacker is Iran, despite there being no evidence that Tehran wishes to engage in national suicide by lobbing a few bombs at Euroland.
On the foot, the Russians, who remain a far more serious problem for European interests, feel surrounded, thus justifying their very lukewarm approach to American proposed sanctions against Iran.
