Iran this week test-fired missiles which it said were capable of reaching Israel and U.S. bases in the Middle East. Washington says the shield in Europe is needed to defend against any missile attacks from countries such as Iran.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov sees it differently:The tests in Iran have only confirmed that Iran at the moment has rockets with a range of up to 2,000 km (1,243 miles). That confirms what we have said before ... That is that the current idea of deploying a U.S. ... missile shield in Europe, with its parameters, is not needed to monitor and react to these particular rockets with this range ... We continue to be convinced of the invented nature of discussions about the Iranian rocket threat as a motive for the deployment of the missile shield in Europe ... Overall we are in favour of any problems which are linked to Iran being resolved through negotiations, political and diplomatic methods, by bringing Iran into a mutually respectful and concrete dialogue ... Not through threats that are voiced periodically .....
World leadership has devolved from Washington.

Busheney's so-called world war against 'Islamofascism' is only their bridge to the 21st century. It is expected to last long enough for them to rekindle a new cold war against Russia.
