MOSCOW – Russian President Vladimir Putin says the deployment of U.S. intermediate-range missiles in Europe would force Russia to target the nations hosting them.

Putin's stern warning on Wednesday followed U.S. President Donald Trump's weekend announcement that he intends to opt out of a landmark nuclear arms control pact over alleged Russian violations.

Putin rejected Trump's claim that Russia breached the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty. He alleged it was the United States that violated the agreement.

Putin says he hopes to discuss the issue with Trump in Paris on the sideline of Nov. 11 events marking 100 years since Armistice Day. He added that if the U.S. deploys intermediate-range missiles in Europe, Russia would have to respond by targeting the countries where the missiles are based.

Just wonderful. Absolutely wonderful.

2. I'm the alpha,.... You're the beta

No,.. you're the beta, I'm the alpha.

Hey John Bolton what do you think ?

(JB)- Oh fuck it just bomb each other to smithereens - then we can decide.
I own stock in Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and General Dynamics, so I don't really care.
So if there is a war, I get filthy rich no matter who is alpha or who is beta.

3. Morons Are Governing America

That thing in our White House is looking for an excuse to play with the big toys. The Greedy Old Perverts party doesn't see any reason to stop him while they are looting our treasury.

9. It's a drama, a play, a planned setup to put Europe in

a compromised position, weaken and divide the EU and allow more nukes accross the west which also just happens to enrich the weapons industry.

10. They are are cowardly bullies. They talk smack but back down when challenged,

Putin had Bolton groveling. Trump already sold us out at Helsinki.

11. Putin is lying.

Britain and France are targeted as we speak. They have nuclear forces.

12. Hey Putin, making missiles is easy. Designing iPhones and manufacturing iPhones is hard

For starters, try making decent automobiles

13. This is a remake of the Brezhnev-Reagan dance of 35 years ago.

Lots of saber rattling to satisfy domestic hardliners on both sides. If major cities vanish after being vaporized in nuclear clouds, both sides lose what both Trump and Putin care about most: money. The danger lies in potential errors in judgment on the part of both Putin and whoever whispered in Trump's ear last.
