The NATO missile shield is only useful against short-medium range ballistic missiles with slow reentry speeds.

Why is Russia worried?
>>
It's entirely sensible for them to rebuke it. What would you do if somebody systematically placed missiles all around your country and made treaties to the effect of all other countries half way around the world have to all attack if you touch any one of them?

Are we back in our cribs?

Because it harms their ability to nuke NATO countries in Europe.
You don't use ICBM for those targets.
>>
>>76098948
But why would they nuke NATO countries in the first place? Russians aren't stupid. If they were, the US wouldn't have such a thing up their ass about them.

Forget nukes. You don't think we all just stopped at nukes and figured that was good enough?
>>
>>76098378

It ruins their missile-extortion power, so they lose leverage over the baltic and Eastern European states.

>>76098378
Obummer broke a treaty to install it.
Slippery slope?
Are you new here?

>>76099162
missiles are an incredibly important part of modern warfare

>>76099162
If the US can somehow make itself and NATO immune to nuclear missiles then MAD goes out of the window. Which makes a conventional war inevitable.
>>
>>76099379
Correct. Hillary Clinton didn't give them to ISIS for nothing.

But for people who try to run functional countries instead of people who try to run dysfunctional countries, having mere missiles keeps things from having to resort to something worse.

>why would they nuke NATO countries
In case of conflict with NATO that [GOES WRONG] [GOES SEXUAL]
>Russians aren't stupid
Exactly. That's why they don't want US missile shield in Europe.
It harms their European deterrence.

They lose their MAD capability making it more likely NATO will try some shit because there will be no repercussions.
>>
>>76100464
What shit would NATO try and for what reason? What could possibly be accomplished?

Let's try to have half a brain, OK?

>>76098948
Hey I see you everyone
make one of those NatSoc bashing threads again
>>
>>76098378
>>76091838 this plus what putin said that the short-medium range ballistic missiles can be replaced with long range ones without notice.
>>
>>76101501
Putin blew up fiki fiki from the Caspian Sea after a long period of notice.

I don't know what people are thinking. Maybe they're all Abu Hajaar.
