Nothing too technical here.


Related: Russia's Putin suspends plutonium cleanup accord with U.S. because of 'unfriendly' acts

By 'unfriendly acts' Putin means items such as the US complaining about Russian jets buzzing US ships and the US complaining about Russian jets bombing every hospital in Aleppo.

Russia specifically stated that new US missile bases adjacent to Russia and brandishing the lie that they are defensive weapons against Iranian or North Korean missile attacks are actually, as the entire World knows, anti Russian missile sites in violation of previous agreements. Of course, calling them anti Iranian missile sites is a surreptitious act of mendacity to evade the terms of the agreements. You must think DP readers are stupid to believe your nonsense. Get rid of your Defense Department press releases and try real investigative news. Hint, it is not the bobbleheads from Mainstream Media.

Devesselu, Romania
Redzikowo, Poland
 
You and your 'Coast-To-Coast-AM' propaganda are pathetic Fagan.

1) Devesselu and Redzikowoare are NATO bases, not US bases.

2) Romania and Poland are NATO countries which are not adjacent to Muscovite Russia.

3) These two bases are 'Aegis Ashore' installations and compliment the NATO 'Aegis Ship' defensive shield in the Baltic Sea.

4) This Aegis defense system utilizes SM-3 and SM-2 Block IV interceptor missiles, which do not possess offensive capability.

5) Japan has also set up the Aegis Ship defense system as a protective shield against a North Korean missile attack.


Russia has dozens of comparable S-400 missile interceptor systems on its borders, in the Kaliningrad enclave, in occupied Crimea, and in Syria.

Russia has plans to station nuclear-capable 9K720 Iskander-M missile (SS-26 Stone) offensive systems in the Kaliningrad enclave and occupied Crimea by 2019.

There are reports that Moscow has placed an Iskander launcher at the Khmeimim Airbase in Syria.
 
I'm gonna be an optimist and point out the Cold War. At most we'll see another Cold War or a continuation thereof. I don't think a world-ending WWIII is possible, I started a thread inquiring as to whether or not WWIII was imminent a few months back and the members here were pretty convincing in their dismissal of it as unrealistic.

I am guessing all western missles are AMERICAN missiles in the eyes of some posters.

And that all missiles are offensive.

Well, everything American is offensive.

I've heard that Russia Today is a TV show and that's all I know about that. I haven't watched network TV since 1989. Investigative Journalism is where the answers are.

You seem to be a lying bag of steaming, greasy, grimy, green, pig grunt, or are you going to cite your lies with links?

I don' think Russia will participate in it, but I wouldn't count N Korea or China out, and Iran going after Israel and the 5th fleet. (Persian Gulf)

I don't think a World War would break out over North Korea. I could see NK nuking someone, and then that someone proceeding to whoop NK's ass, but I don't think NK - all by its lonesome as it would be - would be powerful enough to threaten the world. China would crush NK like an insect. And China doesn't need to start WW3. WW3 would be detrimental to the economic capital they're making. WW3 would be bad for the global economy, which China has the second-largest stake in after the U.S.
