I have a feeling they are trying to paint Russia and Putin just like North Korea and Kim.

Russia has every right to defend its security interests whenever or where ever they are threatened.
Why is US/NATO putting up BMDs all over to try to negate the Russian ICBMs. Such acts in process create all sorts of global tensions. This is equivalent to Russians putting up missiles in Cuba/
Were the Cuban missiles defensive interceptors against the US?
No.

That was nearly 50 years ago. Technologies have come a long way since then.
BMD's defensive missiles offer capabilities to negate Russia's offensive move. This after the initial attack has taken place on Russia and denying it a chance to retaliate.
Don't yap nonsense just for the argument's sake. No one will buy this offensive-defensive missile crap. Push the issue any further and we are sitting in the middle of a nuclear war.
Then you can argue as much as you want with radioactive dust spewing from the mouth.

Did you and NATO as well get the memo that there's no more of USSR? Why's there a need for anti-rocket system pointed against Russia? Damn, the west must be not telling us something! No more communism! Your democracy won! That's why the world has never been better!
Until Putin came along and decided to be an ass, it was.
From 1991 to 2001, USA and NATO unilaterally reduced forces a very large amount, without any treaty.

Ah yes the smell of doom porn in the morning will always get the neurons sparking .. lol Imagine one morning some elite living in Denmark wakes up and see's his beautiful estate and accumulated wealth in the cross hairs of the Russian Bear because some country across the pond thinks it's prudent to put a missile base there . I am fortunate to live in a place where the strategic value was fully spent 100 years ago .Now I am surrounded by people who are originally from some place else . nobody wants us now lol

Oh yeah,here we go. I believe this is a case of translating things wrongly,or however they please. I read this article earlier today,there was no nuclear threat. The Russians threatened to use their NUCLEAR SUBS,but not a nuclear weapon on Denmark. Either way, serious stuff. But not a nuclear war. The pressittutes got a hold of it and now instead of nuclear subs,they are subs with nuclear weapons, Got to love it.
