Putin threatens to target Europe

He also lashes out at NATO and insists he's world's only true democrat.

In a threat not uttered since the Cold War, Vladimir Putin said that Russia intends to aim its missile systems - potentially nuclear weapons - at targets in Europe in retaliation for the U.S. decision to establish antimissile bases there.

[...]

Mr. Putin repeatedly described U.S. antimissile bases, which will be built in the Czech Republic and Poland, both former Warsaw Pact countries, as "an element of the nuclear potential of the United States," and that the alleged threat from Iranian missiles is a myth. Washington says that the bases are purely defensive and designed to shoot down missiles launched at the United States from Iran or other rogue states.

Ahh, it begins to feel like the good old days. A megalomaniac and athoritarian russian president rattling with weapons. In the mean time Sweden has all but destroyed it´s own armed forces. And USA are busy in other parts of the world. That leaves us pretty much with the Germans and the French (The French!) to defend the europeian subcontinent. At the same time both Germany and France are having their own problems fighting islamic supremacist tendencies on their own grounds. May god help us!
