Missile Shield for Eastern Europe - New Cold War 2

BBC News: Reports " The US has activated a land-based missile defence station in Romania, which will form part of a larger and controversial European shield. "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians have already started to be critical of the move, expect more chatter from Moscow about the shield, since Reagan's SDI the Russian Bear has been worried that US technology and its ability to take down Russian missiles.  The Russian bear has caused this problem with its actions in Crimea and East Ukraine, the Eastern Europeans do not trust Putin to try something in the Baltics or Eastern Europe. Putin's Russia is a threat to Western security and has to be checked. 

The Attack on Mosul - Daesh Threat

Telegraph: Reports  the following on Daesh, " ...militants are expected to use chemical weapons in a desperate defence of Mosul as Iraqi troops prepare to retake the country’s second city, a senior coalition officer has warned. "

Lets Get Real:

At least it will be Iraqi and Kurdish forces doing the fighting, the UK training forces will not be at the front, one would assume that the SAS has protection against any chemical attack. The one good luck the West and its allies have is the fact that Daesh has no nuclear material, that would make it a great threat.   Let's hope MI6 and the CIA are blocking Daesh on the military black market, and that the Putin regime has control of its nuclear material.  The fight for Mosul will be bloody and it will take time, the West will need to train the Iraqi Army for years.
