#6 When is the last Russian likely to die of AIDS, TB or Drug Overdose?

(Kind of curious as to when the missiles and stuff will be claimable as salvage...)

#9 During the cold war the US was willing to risk our cities to ensure Europes defense. Now Europe can risk a city or two to maintain the US missile defense against Iran.

I think Putin knows (a) his arms sales will plummet if the shield really works (b) that if it works it'll be upgraded until it eventually can stop everything he launches in which case Russia can only sell suitcase nukes and thus not have the deniability when something bad happens.
