Europe. Simple. Same as awlways. we have far to many Allies in Europe who do NOT have anything remotly close to misslie defense. (piticularly in eastern Europe) Defending from whom should be the more accurate question here. I think we all understand the threat that Iran could be to Isreal and Eurpoe should they contenue to persue thier military prodjects in an offensive nature.
And how much money and financial aid did the US provide Russia after the fall of comunism? Some one checkt he figures. it was a pretty high number.
I personally love Russia. it's culture, people, and consider them a valuable partner in the world. It would seem odd to go back to thinking of them as an enemy. And for these two countreis to scrap every inch of progress they've made in relations for the last 15 years or so.....would be just a terible waste.
To go back to the way things used to be would be horrible. That'd mean i wouldn't be able to see St. Petersburg or Moscow. and that's 2 of the places i want to see on my "Bucket List"
Basically Putan & Bush have to go. Putan, from my limited understanding is a hold over from the old days (and a former KGB man) and Bush is......well Bush.
(need i say more lol)
As for how i would feel if Russia placed missiles in Canada.....So long as they're not pointed my in our direction i wouldn't care. I would trust the Canadian goverment to maintain a peacfull watch over it.
besides Ruassia allready did it once. (Ie Cuban Missle Crissis)....
only those missles WERE in fact pointed at us..unlike the missile defense system which will be pointed not in the direction of Russia....but at Iran.
