Russia Aiming Missiles at Eastern Europe
Why the sudden saber rattling from Russia with the announcement of new missiles aimed at Eastern Europe? Especially given Obama's opposition to the missile defense systems the missiles are supposed to be a reaction to? Richard Fernandez sums it up:
the Russian missile deployment is simply a prelude to a wider geopolitical game. It’s the opening bell of a main event whose outlines have yet to be definitely discerned.I lived in Russia in the mid-1990s. All my hopes of bringing Russia into the fold of Western democracies are now dashed.
