ROME — Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that U.S. plans to build a missile defense system in Eastern Europe would force Moscow to target its weapons against Europe.

The threat, in an interview published Sunday in Italy's Corriere della Sera and other foreign media, marked one of Putin's most strident statements to date against the U.S. plans and came just days before he is to join President Bush and other leaders at a Group of Eight summit in Germany.

In the interview, Putin was asked whether the proposed missile defense shield would compel Moscow to direct its own missiles at locations and U.S. military sites in Europe, as during the Cold War.

"If the American nuclear potential grows in European territory, we have to give ourselves new targets in Europe," Putin said, according to Corriere. "It is up to our military to define these targets, in addition to defining the choice between ballistic and cruise missiles."

Russia has not overtly targeted Europe since agreeing after the fall of the Soviet Union not to direct missiles against specific countries, according to Pavel Felgenhauer, an independent military analyst based in Moscow. He added however, that that was simple technical matter, since a missile can be given a target within minutes.



more great news

there is an update to this, apparently they are planning to aim nuclear weapons at Europe, not just missiles.

even better!

america's weak right now, a coordinated attack from many nations isn't completely unfeasible

our economy's struggling, our military is worn thin, and we owe trillions upon trillions of dollars to other nations...hrmmmmmm

no one has the balls to openly attack us. at least i hope. this is just hot air being spewed by a struggling nation, but still, we arent exactly racking up the allies.

that's what i mean, anti-american sentiments are becoming more prevalent in the world, but we just keep marching along and fucking with essentially whomever we want.

yay, more nuclear proliferation!

it's a sub-zero war
