For those who wants to read more about the recent issue of the US missile Shield, information can be obtained from here http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1615422,00.html.

Its like another war coming except this seems much more inflammatory. This could become real. People have always feared a 3rd World War and apparently the Americans thought similar as they have purposed to create interceptor missiles base in Czechoslovakia and Poland to counter the ever-growing threat of Iran and North Korea. However, the Russians politicians in particular president Vladimir Putin views the plan with suspicion, thinking that its a US plan to keep Russian Missiles in check. Futhermore they are skeptical of an Iranian Threat.

Its funny that the Russians are actually fearful. They are displaying the same paranoid-ism of past rulers most noticeably Stalin. Ever fearful of a invasion by the West. Seriously, what grounds does the West want to invade Russia? Sure Russia have a bunch of nuclear warheads which would scare off most if not all invaders. Is Russia still communist and displaying some form of tendency to try to engulf the world in communism? Nay. Is Russia economy booming? Not really. To put it simply, there are simply no reasons to launch an invasion of Russia.

On the other hand however, is Iran. A far more potential threat. Its recent nuclear program isn't very assuring and futhermore, being hotspots for constant conflict and terrorism, its easy to see why it is worrying. Its better to put preventive measures now then regret later should Iran go nuclear on everyone. The russians should just stop isolating themselves and cooperate against the double threat of the north koreans and the iranians.

However as long as Putin stays in charge of Russia, the chance of a alliance seems unlikely. For me, Putin leadership is like communism under the cover of democracy. He oppresses the nation and probably have the secret police under his charge.
