Let's Enjoy This Moment

The Russians are deploying anti-missile assets to their Far East. Why?

"We have an S-400 division there," said General Nikolai Makarov, chief of staff of the Russian armed forces, confirming that Russia had deployed its most advanced anti-missile defence system near the border with North Korea.

"We are indeed worried about the way testing, including tests of nuclear devices, is being conducted in North Korea," said Makarov, who was accompanying President Dmitry Medvedev on a visit to Mongolia.


Huh.

Yet the Russians think we needlessly worry about future Iranian nuclear missiles and don't think we should deploy anti-missile systems in Eastern Europe to protect us and NATO states.

Gosh, just where did the Russians leave that reset button we gave them?
