| UK mulls hosting US missiles to counter Russia military plans | |
| 2015-06-08 | |
| [Iran Press TV] British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond says his country is ready to consider hosting US cruise missiles in an alleged bid to counter "worrying signs" from Russia's military plans. "We would look at the case. We work extremely closely with the Americans. That would be a decision that we would make together if that proposition was on the table. We would look at all the pros and the cons and come to a conclusion," said Hammond during an interview with state-funded BBC on Sunday. "I think it is right to be concerned about the way the Russians are developing what they call asymmetric warfare doctrine ... There have been some worrying signs of stepping up levels of activity both by Russian forces and by Russian-controlled separatist forces," the British official stated in reference to the pro-Russians in eastern Ukraine.

| #2 Again, Russia's real fear is national econ collapse + espec the threat from Caliphate, Nuke-happy/wannabe Hard Boyz, NOT THE US-NATO/EU. AND PERHAPS FELLOW OWG "CO-AMERICA/AMERIKAN", CO-SUPERPOWER RISING CHINA ... ... * DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > WEAK RUSSIA MAY NEED TO USE TACTICAL NUKES [Strategic?] TO PREVAIL AGZ CHINA IN A MAJOR CONVENTIONAL WAR, as per Russia's new Military Doctrine. * CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > IT SEEMS RUSSIA IS STEPPING UP ITS DEFENSE OF DISPUTED ISLANDS IN PACIFIC [NORPAC = Kuriles]. Although the Artic is officially as per RUSSIA-VS-JAPAN, IMO its un-officially about RUSSIA-VS-CHINA, i.e. the LT or future "China threat" to Russia's Far East + CAR. CHINA MILBLOGS = makes it clear that China would love to not only regain or recover Sakhalin as Chinese territory ala Taiwan, but that it would also love to use presently Russian-held Sakhalin as a staging area for LR Bomber-Missle strikes agz Japan in any SINO/CHINA-VS-JAPAN MIL CONFLICT FOR STRATEGIC ACCESS IN NE ASIA. VERSUS * INDEPENDENT.UK > NATO + EU FACE COLLAPSE IFF THEY FAIL TO STOP RUSSIAN AGGRESSION, WARNS EXPERTS. IMO its more correct to say that the premise of any EU-based, "US-style" Par OWG Co-Superpower would collapse or fail iff the Russian Co-Superpower gets too strong or powerful relative to the All-Euro EU. AGAIN, OWG-NWO OR NO OWG-NWO, PRO-US OR ANTI-US GLOBALISM, ... @ETC. THE "GREAT GAME" = "GREAT GAME OF GEOPOLITICS" DOES N-O-T END. EU = RUSSIA = USA = CHINA = IRAN, OTHER? = IFF THESE NATIONS CAN'T OR WON'T DEFEND THEIR INTERESTS + SOVEREIGN TERRITORIES, ETC. THEY WILL LOSE IT TO OTHERS. * AGAIN, US-LED ANTI-US OWG-NWO + GLOBALISM = OBAMA + GLOBIES HAVE NOT YET ANSWERED HOW MUCH IS "TOO MUCH", + HOW FAR IS "TOO FAR", ETC, FOR THE SUPERPOWER US TO UNILATERALLY GIVE UP ANDOR RETREAT AROUND THE WORLD WIDOUT BEING EXISTENTIALLY THREATENED, SO THAT RUSSIA + CHINA + IRAN, OTHER? CAN RISE TO MIGHTY "PAR-WID-THE-US, NOT-INFERIOR-TO-THE-US" OWG CO-SUPERPOWERHOOD??? Sniff, sniff, don't hate me because I'm NOT-PRETTY = JUST ASKIN'??? * LUCIANNE > [American Thinker] ENTIRE WORLD HEADED TO US, ANNE COULTER DENOUNCED FOR NOTICING. Looks like the "Mackindrian Question" of which Country or Hemisphere = "World Island" will lead or rule the World has been semingly settled in favor the US + Americas, at least for time present until something goes horribly wrong. |

| #1 Such deployment would warm the hearts of leftists everywhere as the old, slobbering anti-nuke protesters in the UK hobbled forth once more. In other words, it ain't gonna happen. |
