Deutsche Welle: US could potential deploy missiles in Europe to deter Russia
The US is considering deploying missiles in Europe in response to an alleged nuclear treaty violation by Russia. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter will meet security officials in Stuttgart Friday ahead of a G7 summit.
The United States is mulling an array of potential responses to Russia's suspected violation of a Cold War-era nuclear treaty, including deploying missile systems in Europe capable of pre-emptively destroying Russian weapons.
The potential missile deployment, or "counterforce" is one of the options under consideration by the Obama administration as it crafts a response to Russia's intervention in Ukraine, its annexation of Crimea and other actions deemed provocative.
WNU Editor: If this U.S. missile deployment does occur .... we will be in a new Cold War.
