Of course Washington prepares to activate missile shield because it knows that Iran will be attacked soon and this is to protect Europe in case of retaliation. Washington is already supplying Israel with an "iron dome" to protect itself against Iran retaliation. But in the US unilateral sanctions against Iran, Washington prevented Iran from buying equipment to protect itself. And Russia will watch the show doing nothing. Bravo!

Nobody is that much naive as to believe the south european NATO missile shield is against Iran. It is of course against Russia and it is only a segment of a long standing plan to encircle Russia with all necessary weapon systems. The patroling boats in Black Sea will keep their watch presumably on Russian targets. The whole situation resembles very much that of the pre-WWII when Hitler had made preparations to launch Barbarosa plan. I sincerely hope Russian leadership is fully aware of the seriousness of the recent NATO-US moves and that it will undertake effective counter-meassures. The much advertised "reset bottom" policy of US is nothing but an empty phrase whose aim is to temporarily appease Russia as to the future aggresion on Iran.
