A deal to deploy an American radar system in eastern Turkey has been agreed by the two countries as part of NATO-backed missile defense plans. It comes just a day after Washington struck a similar agreement with Romania, under which interceptor missiles and over a hundred military personnel will be based on Romanian soil. The U.S. says the controversial plans are designed to defend Europe against the possibility of attack from states like Iran and North Korea.

But Bruce Gagnon from the Global Network against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space believes that's not what the defense shield is really about.

It was bullshit from day one.

2. Patriot missiles

LAUGH MY ARSE OFF - these are pretty much absolutely useless against chinese / russian missiles.


There is no reason for these systems beyond pure, unadulterated cronyism from the MIC.
