Another Russian Kill Switch?

Considering how nice the West Europeans feel with Russia's finger on the natural gas cutoff switch (which Obama may be trying to fix; although given the caliber of our European friends I was probably way too optimistic four years ago), our European NATO friends would like to invite Putin's Russia to have a cutoff switch for NATO missile defense:

The head of NATO called Friday for the U.S., Russia and NATO to link their missile defense systems against potential new nuclear threats from Asia and the Middle East, saying that the old foes must forget their lingering Cold War animosity.


Lingering Cold War animosity? Like railing against NATO's plans to defend ourselves (including the United States) from a rogue Iranian nuclea missile threat that Russia is itself enabling? You mean lingering animosity like that?

Russia has not earned our trust. Not by a long shot.
