EUROPE PUTIN JEOPARDY


Vladimir Putin is unhappy with US plans to station missile interceptors in Europe:

President Putin has warned the US that its deployment of a new anti-missile network across Eastern Europe would prompt Russia to point its own missiles at European targets and could trigger nuclear war.

In an exclusive interview with The Times, the Russian leader says: “It is obvious that if part of the strategic nuclear potential of the US is located in Europe and will be threatening us, we will have to respond."

If Russian missiles aren't already pointed at Europe, why would Putin care about defensive missiles being placed there? Anyway, it's not like Europe's a threat.
