Re: US missiles hit Russia where it hurts
Something that crossed my mind just the other day is that by deploying US/NATO missiles in EU/NATO European countries, in the even of a conflict provoked or promoted by the US (not that this would be a rare thing to happen), these military facilities are automatically going to become the targets of attacks/retaliations. Not the US territory of a more difficult accesibility due to geolocation (except, of course, for long range inter-continental missiles, which are nonetheless not the more widely available).
I wonder if this does not build up on Americans' resolution to keep the conflict areas as far away from home as possible, where Europe becomes a possible diversion [battle]field.
