Guess why Russia is getting nervous? If the US has a system that can neutralize their nukes, there goes the balance of power. Then you have US bases near the border. All it takes from there is a small "incident" and we're really fucked. For comparison, just see how you'd think if it were China or Russia setting up bases in Mexico at the US border - and getting ready to start a missile defense shield. Yeah, you'd be screaming for more defense funding.
Better weapons and defense doesn't automatically make you more secure. It can have the opposite effect. |
And do you know what the name of that system is that will neutralize their nukes? I bet you don't unless you google it like every other asshat in here. Btw, that's part of the "unproven missile technology" Obama is talking about. Let me go find a crowbar for you. You'll need it to remove the foot from your mouth.
