PRETTY REVEALING, THAT FIFTY YEARS LATER...:
Putin: US risking new Cuban missile crisis (Damien McElroy and Adrian Blomfield, 26/10/2007, Daily Telegraph)
President Vladimir Putin has declared that American plans for a missile shield in Europe pose as grave a challenge to Moscow as the Cuban missile crisis did in the 1960s.
...they're still completely vulnerable. Too bad JFK was so craven. Posted by Orrin Judd at October 26, 2007 2:59 PM
That sentence makes no sense at al. Even if you thought that the missile shield was a potential threat against Russia; like the Jupiter missiles
in Turkey, or the Russian missiles in Cuba against the US. But this is a defensive weapons
against the nuclear tipped weapons that Putin is providing to Iran; which is a threat as far away
as India and Eastern Europe.
Offensive weapons.... defensive weapons..... same thing, what's the difference.
Wall to keep people inside from leaving in Berlin..... wall to keep outsiders from entering without permission in Arizona.... same thing, what's the difference.
I know this because my professors told me so, and they're really smart.
