Top Ranking Russian Officer Warns of Pre-Emptive Strike if US Led Missile Defence Continues

[Exarch]

Russia’s top military officer has threatened a pre-emptive strike on US-led NATO missile defense facilities in Eastern Europe, if Washington goes ahead with its missile defense plan.
Chief of General Staff Nikolai Makarov, gave the warning at the start of an international conference on missile defense in Moscow. Russia also said talks between Moscow and Washington on the US-led NATO plan in Europe were deadlocked.
It dismissed Washington’s claim that the missile defence system is designed solely to deal with a missile threat from Iran, fearing it will undermine Russia’s nuclear deterrent.
Moscow has also offered to jointly run the missile shield with NATO. Though NATO has said it wants to cooperate with Russia, the alliance has rejected Moscow’s proposal.
The conference is the last major Russia-US meeting about military issues, before a NATO summit in Chicago later this month. Moscow has long opposed the deployment of the US-led NATO missile defense facilities near its borders. It has demanded legally binding guarantees from the US and NATO that the missile defense shield does not target Russia.

so it seems the negotiations are deadlocked, and the race of deadly killers known as Russians are making it very clear that they're not happy about the encroaching ABM shield 'to protect against iranian missiles'. They do not like the insinuation that cold hard killers like Russians are incapable of killing iranian missiles, and are even less happy at the prospect of NATO missiles being able to shoot down Russian ICBMs; in fact, they would be more than happy killing cowardly soft NATO soldiers and raping the corpses afterwards and drinking their blood for sustenance. I even heard Putin swearing he would use General McChrystal's skull as a drinking cup if the talks didn't break from deadlock, whilst in the same breath, saying how much he hopes US-Russian relations would improve 'on equal terms'.

Doesn’t Russia saying it will be willing to use its missiles against Nato show that a missile defence is needed?

[Exarch]

so the ABM shield will be used against Russia? that means the Russians will be justified in using their missiles on the ABM batteries

[Erwin Rommel]

......Makarov.

Don't worry, it is part of Obama genius RESET strategy of negotiation with Russia

In all seriousness, before the ''You just hate Obama!!!'', lets just make it clear that this Russian position did not come out of thin air but is in part driven by their perceived weakness of the American negotiation. So they are doubling their bet and hoping that the Americans will fold.

Get this man a composite bow already !

Good Cop - Bad Cop trolling maneuver so obvious there from Putin.

I think it is time for another great war to solve overpopulation.

This

it appears to be self-perpetuating, this only justifies the need for a missile shield

[Astaroth]

Empty rhetorics, nothing to see here.

i sense another call of duty title....

@OP, two things:

1) Not going to happen

2) The missile shield would never be able to handle the amount of missiles Russia would throw. Everyone knows this, including Russia. They've said so several times.

It is very interesting how Russia and America (and many other western countries) are mirroring each other. Both are corrupt capitalist regimes, built on exploitation of working class and the people. Both ideologies are based on focusing on outside enemies. For Russia its US/NATO and "terrorists", for US/NATO its "terrorists", Russia and "recently) China. Both sides deal with large-scale protests and discontent of the masses.

[s.rwitt]

You just called China an enemy of the US. I giggled.

They are equal, and yet different from each other at the same time ... a miracle just happened in TWC !

Do you ever take a break to look out, just in case to verify if your theories match reality ?

[Heathen Hammer]

Oh yeah, I forgot about the current globalist religion that "There is no hostility between US and China! None!!11".

The only differences are ideologies.

I do. I just brought up what media of said countries focuses on.

[Vanoi]

Oh yeah, I forgot about the current globalist religion that "There is no hostility between US and China! None!!11".

You mean just like when the US accepted that Chinese dissident into the country to make China mad?

Oh wait....

[Menelik_I]

Yet you said that :

Both are corrupt capitalist regimes

So are they different ideologies or are they the same ?

You must make sure that words don't do the thinking and speaking for you.

[s.rwitt]

You could call it a religion. It would be grossly moronic, but certainly possible. Alternatively you could call it geo-political fact that's widely accepted among IR scholars. Ikenberry and Wright make a very, very simple case that you should be able to understand (again, it's very simple). Basically that due to the global structure (UN, WTO, IMF, etc) being so accommodating to rising powers and the fact that no matter how much China grows they'll never be able to outmatch the US and friends together either economically or militarily (OECD and NATO) there is very little reason for either current or future conflict between the US and China.

Hell, even Mearsheimer only thinks conflict between the US and China is something that will happen in the fairly distant future.

But, of course, you'd know far better than them. I mean, you've probably seen lots of RT videos on the subject.

Actually there are many Globalist schemes, including one a Russian global scheme for Global domination, pretending that there is but one is being disconnected from reality.
