Baluyevsky says U.S. missile defense is aimed at Moscow as tensions rise
by Paul Joseph Watson
Russia’s top military chief has dubbed America “evil” while cautioning that the “insidious” U.S. missile defense shield weapons system has nothing to do with countering Iran and is aimed squarely at Moscow, as tensions continue to heat between the two superpowers.
The Chief of the Russian General Staff, Gen. Yury Baluyevsky told Russia Today , an English-language state TV channel, that Washington’s plans to place a radar in the Czech Republic and ten missile interceptors in Poland supposedly to counter Iran was just a pretext to deploy weaponry close to Russia’s borders.
“If the Americans deploy the radar by 2011 and anti-ballistic missiles by 2012-2013, they will certainly be directed against Russia, and we can easily prove it,” said Baluyevsky.

“we can easily prove it”
Let them prove it then. It’s fascinating how in one moment Russia has a mighty new nuclear missile that can overpower any defense, and at the same time is greatly compromised by a system that is called useless one day, then fearsome the next by the Union of Concerned Scientists, and they say there is no threat from Iran, but offer a radar site to help watch Iran?
When the story flip flops so much from the mouths of the very same people, there’s something going on behind the scenes, and you’re lucky if anything you hear is the truth.
