Russia threatens Denmark with nuclear weapons if it tries to join Nato defence shield

Re: Russia Threatens Nuclear Armaggedon

Any defensive weapons system can be used as an offensive weapons system. Case in point.. anti-aircraft guns. They are defensive, and yet were often used offensively during WW2.

How can a massive immobile ABM missile be used offensively ? Please cite an example

Re: Russia Threatens Nuclear Armaggedon

Imagine you and I don't like each other. (tough, I know!) We both have guns pointed at each other. If either pulls the trigger, the other will too. We both die.

Now picture I am also building a wall of bricks as we sit in this standoff. Eventually the wall will be high enough to protect me from your gun (with a slot I can still aim and fire through to kill you). Eventually, I will have the ability to kill you and you will lack the ability to retaliate.

What do you do?

Build my own wall. NATO forces are a paper tiger and a shadow of what they were 25 years ago. I'm sure Putin knows this full well.

Mitt was right... Obama was WRONG...

IM SHOCKED

Yes it is shocking Mittens got something right. But then again even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.
 
Re: Russia Threatens Nuclear Armaggedon

Announcing what would be "targeted" is not a threat of war whatsoever. Rather, it was just announcing the obvious. If Denmark becomes part of NATO then it becomes part of responsive targeting. So what? No surprise. No threat. Just obvious reality.

You fail. Demark is already part of NATO and was one of the founding members.
 
Re: Russia Threatens Nuclear Armaggedon

But Travis was right. Obama Was wrong, and that stupid " reset " button was just on of many of his Foreign Policy blunders.

Romney got lucky. My dog has more foreign policy experience.
 
Re: Russia Threatens Nuclear Armaggedon

we wouldn't survive a nuclear war with Russia. luckily, it's not going to happen. even the hawks in congress aren't that stupid. well, most of them, anyway. McCain wants war with everyone.

At some point in history they will be used. No idea where are when though.
 
Re: Russia Threatens Nuclear Armaggedon

Well, no, because the idiot that laughed off Romney's warning regarding Putin with an idiotic "The 80s called" joke is still the same idiot in the White House and the same idiot that gave Russia a poorly translated "Reset" button as Obama's Sec. of State is the same idiot who is the Democrat frontrunner in 2016.

Looks like not enough of the Anerican people thought the Obama idiot was bad enough to vote in the Romney idiot. You lose! LOL
 
Re: Russia Threatens Nuclear Armaggedon

Nonsense.

The economy sucks and the Stock market is being held up with QE qne and ZIRP.

Corporations and Banks don't " hoard " money when the economy is " good ".

And NO, we're not " all doing better " than we were doing in 2008.

Millions of people never recovered and arw still unemployed


Sure they are.

Well the only type I know of is the Patriot missile.... a missile is a missile.. point/reprogram and shoot.

But a SAM is a defensive weapon too. How can you attack using a SAM ?

Tell that to Malaysian Airlines flight 17.
 
Re: Russia Threatens Nuclear Armaggedon

Tell that to Malaysian Airlines flight 17.

The rebels were using that weapon system for defence not attack. MH17 was a case of mistaken identity

Re: Russia threatens Denmark with nuclear weapons if it tries to join Nato defence sh

How does a defensive system threaten Russia in any way ?

It is rather amazing how a few certain posters on here will condem virtually any foreign policy move the U.S. makes but bend over backwards and twist the very words of the actual Russian ammbassador in order to try and defend Russia.
Can you imagine their response had the U.S. ambassador said those exact same words to a Someone from Russian

Innocents get killed in wars. I do not think for a moment that this airliner was downed intentionally. It was just in the wrong place at the wrong time
 
Re: Russia threatens Denmark with nuclear weapons if it tries to join Nato defence sh

What's wrong with you. I explained to you that what you and I think is irrelevant! Russia feels threatened by an ever expanding NATO, and as such they're going to respond in their interests. You can let your blood pressure elevate, allow yourself to hyperventilate, beat your chest about Russia if it improves your morale. One things certain, Russia has been very clear that they intend to push back on uni-polar hegemony, BRICS, AIIB and alliances signed back in 2001 with China are some of the measures. It is what it is flogger.
May I ask why you attack virtually every single foreign policy of the U.S. but have no issues defending Ruissia when they makes threats to a country that has never attacked them and pose no real threat to them and simply want a way to protect their country from nuclear attack. Would you also defend the U.S. if it made such threats. Judging by your posting history I think we all know the answer to that.
You never once seem to miss an opportunity to attack the U.S. for looking out for its best interest and the intrest of the US economy but somehow it is perfectly acceptable to you for Russia to do the same. Why is that.

This is based on the assumption that Putin is rational rather than the delusional nut job that he is.

Its funny how much trust liberals place in Putin and the Ayatolla not to do what they say.

I wonder how much trust they placed in OBL not to attack America?
 
Re: Russia Threatens Nuclear Armaggedon

It's not "we will attack if you do this." Im sure you know that, though, unlike some others in the thread.

"Do this and you will become a target" is still a threat.
Thats clearly the intent, how it was received, and in keeping with the pattern of Russian aggression against the nordic states.
 
Re: Russia Threatens Nuclear Armaggedon

it's a silly dick measuring contest. we need to concentrate on our own country instead of jerking off while reminiscing of the cold war.

Putin is the aggressor here, HE wants to recreate the USSR. Thats where the problem lies.

You build your wall and tell the other guy to go pound sand.
 
Re: Russia threatens Denmark with nuclear weapons if it tries to join Nato defence sh

Russia has threatened to target Denmark’s warships with nuclear weapons if the Scandinavian nation becomes a member of Nato’s missile defence shield.

Russia threatens Denmark with nuclear weapons if it tries to join Nato defence shield - Europe - World - The Independent

Putin knows damn well what a nuclear attack on a NATO member means, this is the last straw, this man Adolf Putler needs to be stopped by any means necessary, it is incumbent on any person in the world capable of doing so to assassinate this insane genocidal monster.

That would be a bad idea. He is a political moderate in the Russian authoritarian context and that there are extremist elements in his government and the military which favor a much more forceful expansion of Russian interests.

These aren't explosive or nuclear missiles, they are kinetic energy only, and would have a minimal (and very expensive) offensive capacity. And they also have much less range than some of the missiles we have, we did that to try and accommodate Russia. But Russia has decided it wants to invade other nations.

They dont compare to anti-air guns.
