Thread: foreign missiles

Hi everyone, was browsing and found this site and figured you guys could help me. I've been doing some reading about national missile defense, and was wondering if we even need to be worried here at home. I mean, I would think other countries wouldn't have good enough missiles to reach the US. Shouldn't we be more worried about our troops overseas?? Does anyone know anything about some of the missiles that countries like Russia and China and the likes are selling around the world. What's the threat really???

Contrary to public belief there is not to much of a threat. No Really, Most countries have an unspoken agreement to not attack, because of what would happen. They figure that if one country attacks then whoever they attacked will attack back, or a chain reaction of allied attacking, until there is nothing left. Korea is the biggest threat right now as the, for the most part don't care, but at the same time they don't want to die. I don't know about any selling of really dangerous weapons from China or Russia, but they probably are not selling nucks if that is what you are asking about. Other than that I don't know much.

On the contrary, it seems to me that there are plenty of countries, and more importantly individuals who are unconcerned with alliances, and merely seek to spread destruction. Look at the policies of groups like Hamas and al Queda, they'd happily kill millions if they could, especially Israelis. I did a little checking of my own, and found the Chinese B611. It's kinda short range, but has great accuracy. It couldn't hit the US, but with an explosive warhead and good accuracy could kill a lot of troops in the mid east. it doesn't even have to have a nuke!!

There are a few dangerous countries. The only reason they are dangerous is because they are very secretive about their weapons projects, such as: Iraq, Iran and Korea.
I think it is not a case of 'if' they will attack, but 'when'.
