As I wrote in an orher comment (not published) making an anti-missiles infallible is impossible. Some very distinguished scientists explained that thirty years ago, and even considering the technical progrsses made since then, it is still a dream. Nevertheless keepping on working on it is a warranty of huge amount of money given to the Military Industrial Complex. Just look how hard the americans try to suck Russia in that insane business and how willing are russian deciders to make the same mistake. Offensive or defensive system are build by the same peoples. When will they tolerate the evidence that there is an other way: and reconversion of all that self-destruction industry...Sorry Future Generations ! Sincerely. Jean-Claude Meslin

What can you expect from the COMMUNISTS..? Do you expect peace, improvements. human rights...? Hell NO...! Expect always that they will try to dominate the world or their closest nations, little by little, step by step..! It does not make any difference at what cost....? Years ago, Fidel Castro was ready and constructed 2 Bunkers to guard himself and a total of 157 people from an Atomic explosion..! Which means, that he was ready and still might be to send an Atomic Bomb into the United States and therefore the reasons as to why, the United States always left him along for 51 years and have never tried to get them out of power from Cuba..! Do you think the COMMUNISTS will like to see the United States be one of the strongest nation in the world and to defend other Democracies..? Hell NO..! They want to see us DOWN on our knees..! It is a shame to see some of our Senators and Congressman, directly or indirectly serving some of the issues against our country and liberties and specially the United States..! Including some of our past Presidents...! The only way to get our country back, is not to allow this Senators and Congressman develop a career from their job and allow a maximum of 12 years on their job, place limits on their Salaries, Retirements, Social Security, Health Coverages and Benefits. Wake up America or you will not enjoy the Democracy, you have had to date...! CUBA LIBRE

I understand that Russia Today TV want to prove how democraic, she is and publish comments from all types of thinking but you should refrain from making a fool of yourself and check some arguments which go overboard, (regardless of the side it defend). What Cuba-Libre wrote make absolutly no sens and can be ridiculized simply by History. In other way, you do not publish all coments sent to you. This is your rights; but please, explain the criterias to be respected, when abusing languge is not used (example: I send my own notation of N-PiPO and the written resumé of his one year presidency). If I was not so concerned about the future generations and what they will inherit, I will stop immediately sending comments to RTTV. Sincerely...Jean-Claude Meslin

I've been following this story for a few weeks now and it just keeps getting more ridiculous every time I check up on it. Obviously the US is placing AMD Systems in Europe to defend from a potential Russian attack, though politically that sounds very bad. If Russia were to cut down on nuclear arms or perhaps develop defensive systems rather than offensive systems, they could prove that they are not a "rogue state". I'd like to see an improvement in US-RU Relations but unfortunately with this issue, those relations have been strained greatly.

The Cuban guy should pack some toilet paper, and head for Cuba, where they all belong. There's no toilet paper in Cuba, but 10 dollar "ladies," and beans. It's too bad the elites will eventually go underground while the rest roast up top, but Putin does not take @!#$ from the disgusting American evil doer. By the way, I am American, but...one has to be blind to ignore what our nation does, or...just plain ignorant. I dreampt of Putin, and I having some laughing gas together. As far as the stinky Cuban migrant, no one pushed communism on them. Maybe if they did not spend so much time doing voodoo...
