Gents - the weapons involved in the anti-missile system are completely different from the nuclear missiles that were present in Cuba. The missiles in Poland won't be capable of destroying Russian cities and wreaking havoc. Why are you trying to make a comparison between the two???
My apologies - that one slipped by.Russia has only the word of the US government on the capabilities, why should they trust us?
You didn't answer my earlier question
If Russia asks to inspect these missile systems in Poland, do we allow it?
If they are actually what we say they are, what is the problem?
If we refuse to allow them access, what are we hiding?
Just curious as to your opinion on this
mkloby, the nuclear missiles are in turkey, isnt that correct ?

Three months after the Cuban Missile Crisis the United States secretly removed all its nuclear missiles from Turkey and Italy.
Now if by inspect, you mean allow for inspection of technical documents, then hell no. But a simple inspection of a missile, its payload and propulsion system would allow a simpleton to understand that they are defensive in nature. To argue otherwise is pure fantasy. It would be much easier to field an offensive capability in the form of cruise missiles.
The nuclear missiles were removed from Turkey as part of the "Cuban Missile crisis"
Google "Cuba, Crisis, missiles, Turkey"

Wait, wait, wait. Timeout.
The US specifically asked Russia to be involved in the missile defense system. They were not only asked to inspect the system, but to help staff the missile command, and were also asked to network in their over horizon X-band radar.
I love the fact that this thread proves how people do not read. The Poll specifically says that only Czechs and Polish members can vote in the thread.
Yet somehow a German (Airfix), South African (Henk), Russian (Mitya), Mexican (smg) and an American (fly boy) have managed to vote in the poll. Way to go guys!
The question all this in need. There is need to install such a system of missile defence and counter to Russia who feel threatened? the answer is no. NATO is the most powerful military organization in the world, and would force to respond to an alleged missile attack by Iran. Not to mention American fleet in the Mediterranean that has certainly interceptadores missiles.
I believe that the United States should seek a partner in russia, and address the issue differently. Peace is made with attitudes peaceful, with no exchange of harsh words.
The russia had no attitude that is justified isso.Deve to have balance and common sense ...
I'm drinking Czech beer and eating Polish sausage Perogies, I figure that my total mass is over 10% Czech/Polish by this point in the evening.
Can I vote now?
Please hurry up and let me know, before I have to take a leak....
I'm not sure what your post means
but NATO having the conventional military mass to respond conventionally by invading Iran in the incident of a missile launch provides no defense against the missile attack itself.
So I'll ask - how is it a bad thing for a missile system that can protect against incoming hostile missiles a provocative and foolish system to install? Why would Russia possibly be threatened by this? Explain to me the rational aside from the "How is Russia going to know they're not offensive missiles."
You got my permission
Which kind of beer do you drink there?

Thanks!
We got some Staropramen here, besides Pils it's hard to find any others.
Have you ever tried beer from Ukraine?
another interesting point is: since czech are not nato partners, why dont pass to them the project and let them build the missile if they want ? because the czech republic is a very industrial country. they can do that themselves. if russia complains them, would be a matter of sovereign, because russia would been complaining of czech rep. builds a czech missile in czech land.
well mkloby, lets remember the iranian missile cant reach europe. it just could reach israel, in theory. also that missile have been proving to be a hoax, since the launch test was photoshoped.I´d like to believe it was photoshoped. But I would´t play with Shabab 4, that could reach Europe. Shahab-4
