It is now obvious the target for Bush's missile Defense System is Russia!

 Romania starts building its end of anti Russian missile defence shield

Romania starts work on US missile defense base: The Missile Defense Facility will be maintained by US service personnel and house SM-3 interceptor missiles as well as radar equipment.

Russia is concerned that the missile system could be used against Russian interests. Moscow has threatened to aim a new generation of missiles at European military targets and deploy its own missile interceptors.

What's next now? Knowing that in the past Russia had expressed their anger over the missile Defence system proposed for Poland and Czechoslovakia and at one point to counter this proposal even offered to have them housed on their soil. Of course this offer was turned down as was the offer by Britain to have them on their soil.

The Bush line was that these systems are needed to counter the threat from Iran and North Korea. That sounds absolutely ludicrous if you ask me. In response to Bush's refusal to not deploy the systems Russia countered when President Vladimir Putin announced that Russia would suspend its compliance with a treaty on conventional arms in Europe that was forged at the end of the Cold War.

Instead, Putin said, the Kremlin would use future compliance with the treaty as a bargaining point in the dispute with United States over its proposals to install missile defences in Europe. Can you blame them?

Putin's announcement, made in his annual address to Parliament, underscored the Kremlin's anger at Washington for proposing a new missile-defense system, which the Bush administration and now Obama  insists is meant to counter potential threats from North Korea and Iran. But Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice brusquely dismissed Russian protests, saying the missile-defense system the United States plans to install in Poland and the Czech Republic would pose no danger to the security of Russia. http://www.iht.com/...
 
I thought quite to the contrary! What they are proposing to set up are boost phase interceptors--missiles that target a missile during it's relatively slow lift-off stage while it's still in the atmosphere.

 To accomplish a take down, the chase missile has to take off within 50 seconds--i.e. it has to be in relatively close proximity to the missile it wants to take down. That's why the argument that missiles in Poland and Romania  are supposed to deal with missiles coming from Iran or North Korea is nonsensical. Condi using the word nonsense against Russia gives the game away. They always ascribed their own motivation to others.

Looking at today's statement that Russia cannot alter a U.S. plan to set up a missile defense system in nearby Poland, a senior U.S. official said in an interview published on Wednesday that is likely to stoke Russia's anger over the project. Russia is enraged! "We have listened to them but they have been so intransigent in their position that most NATO allies now support our proposal," he added.

6 years ago U.S. Under secretary of State Nicholas Burns said Russian fears were unjustified as the project was purely defensive and could not be modified to launch attack missiles. He said Russia must remember they are not part of NATO and therefore have no say in the matter. what? http://www.reuters.com/...
 
These statements by Burns just told ignorant little me that while these systems could not be modified but they were solely to neutralize any interference by Russia in our plans. The only result of these rising tensions and the purposeful politics of confrontation practiced by the U.S. is to bring us closer to WW3 and our goal of what we think will be our version of new world order. These are my thoughts on the worsening situation, what are yours?

Russia Deploys missiles as Bush instigation for WW3 is working!

Bush raising the Iron curtain with the missile shield as Russia deploys missiles, Bush instigation for WW3 is working!
Those that have been following my series on the missile shield know that while many say it does not work that it does work at least for Bush's purposes. It has been my contention right along that its main and only purpose is as a tool for Bush to have to fight and appear "forced". You know I believe Bush has to destroy existing order and then replace it by force with his. http://www.anaveragepatriot.com/...
Anyway, it is working well! Despite Putin's numerous threats if the shield was put in Poland and Czechoslovakia many of which have already been acted on, Bush insists of course with going ahead with his plans.
A U.S. missile-defense system will be built in Poland despite Russia's anger over the plans, Polish President Lech Kaczynski said on Monday after a meeting with U.S. President George W. Bush. "The matter of the shield is largely a foregone conclusion," Kaczynski said at a news conference following the meeting.
The location has already been decided. One sticking point still to be worked out I never even thought of but I should have known. This makes me think about so much! Stupid me thought these missile defense systems would only be staffed by technicians.
One thing being debated is how many U.S. soldiers will be there. The missile defense systems and all the issues surrounding them aside. No wonder Russia is dead against this. Plus The Czech Republic has already agreed to the radar site on their soil.
As we know, Russian President Vladimir Putin late last week suspended Moscow's participation in the Conventional Forces in Europe, or CFE, treaty in a move widely seen as an effort to raise pressure over the U.S. plans. It isn't working. As a result we have the Iron Curtain rising once again! http://www.cnn.com/...
In the wake of a summit meeting between Putin and President George W. Bush in the US State of Maine earlier this month, there was little optimism about Moscow's latest proposal to develop bilateral missile defense cooperation. Putin suggested at a meeting with Bush on 2 July that the two countries jointly use the Armavir radar station now under construction in southern Russia. Last month, Putin offered to share with the US the Gabala radar station in Azerbaijan. While not overtly rejecting Russian initiatives, Washington reiterated plans to go ahead with its missile shield in Eastern Europe.
The Kremlin has warned that Russia would respond by targeting European countries with its missiles, "turning Europe into a powder keg," while blaming the US missile defense plans for raising the risk of a nuclear confrontation in Europe. On 31 May, Putin made it clear that Russia's latest missiles tests were in response to the US missile shield program and NATO's perceived failure to ratify the adapted CFE Treaty.
Russia's CFE move may be backed up by arms buildup in Kaliningrad, the Russian Western enclave between Lithuania and Poland on the Baltic Sea. On 4 July, first deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov warned that Russia could deploy short-range missiles in the Kaliningrad region. Former defense minister Ivanov - a possible successor to Putin - said such a deployment would come as a response by Russia against US missile defense.
Russia is also now questioning the validity of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty and threaten to pull out of it altogether. The deployment of Iskander ("Alexander the Great") missiles in the Kaliningrad region could put a sizable part of NATO territory within Russia's range. In other words, these short-range tactical missiles would become strategic weapons, if placed in Kaliningrad, changing the region's strategic balance. http://www.isn.ethz.ch/...
Yes, Bush's missile shield is doing its job as we are heading closer to world confrontation so Bush can fight to prosecute his new world order. That is, whoever has the misfortune of following this fool will have the misfortune of being forced to do the dirty job Bush instigated.
Like everything else Bush has started around the world this too will not be controlled, stopped, or prevented.

Britain Deflates Russia's threat to attack U.S. MDS in Poland and Czechoslovakia! What's next?

In light of the fact that I have been posting regularly on the threats by Russia to the U.S., Czechoslovakia, and Poland over the missile defense systems that were set to be installed there I originally thought these threats by Russia to attack the host countries was not to counter what they perceived as a threat to them but as an excuse to come to Iran's aid not that they need any more mind you. However now I don't know! http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/2/21/10018/0362
Any way I am very pleased to see this threat at least diffused I hope but what is next? Recently we have learned that Britain is preparing to decrease its troops in Iraq and yesterday I for one was pleased to hear that Britain was increasing its troops in Afghanistan. finding this out last night took some more additional weight off my mind anyway.
Britain and the United States said yesterday that they were discussing the stationing of the American anti-ballistic-missile defense system on British soil.
Knowing these discussions were under years makes me think there is some validity behind Russia's concerns. Why hasn't this been mentioned before?
As we discussed The United States had previously offered to locate the missile system in the Czechoslovakia and Poland provoking strong objection from Russia, though Washington argues that the system is not built to defend against Russia but against Iran, principally, and other potential threats. As I said, now that I am finding out that talks between Britain and the United States have in going on for quite a while I am no longer sure of Bush's intentions what about you?
According to Blair's spokeswoman, Britain has been secretly lobbying for inclusion in the system for some time. Again I have to ask why has this not been mentioned to Russia? Is there any benefit to having the systems in Czechoslovakia and Poland unless threatening Russia was the ulterior motive?
Britain seems to genuinely want to be chosen to house the systems. I say be careful what you ask for you may get it. It seems to me like this will only bring major trouble for whoever bases these systems. What do you think? "The prime minister thinks it is a good idea that they are part of the consideration by the United States.
Blair believe it is an important step towards providing missile defense coverage for Europe, of which they are part." but myself I don't know. Now I hear that the radar systems were already in final testing in Britain. What gives? http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/02/23/news/shield.php
Just reading the above story on The recent discussions over the missile defense systems, Britain's troop deployments in Iraq, the Balkans, Northern Ireland, and the announcement to add more troops in Afghanistan I am finding Bush has torn apart and stressed out Britain and its military and people as much as he has ours and the rest of the world it seems. What will be the end results of this idiots messes around the world?
