The United States of America is now considering supplying air defense systems to NATO allies.

This is due to the constant threat and growing worry coming from Russia as the war in Ukraine rages on.

A US official told CNN that his country is now considering supplying critical air defense systems to NATO allies in eastern Europe.

There are anxieties that Russia could consider launching missiles or aircraft against the alliance’s eastern flank.

“The US is considering a range of capabilities,” the official said, according to CNN.

The official said there is no specific plan yet to carry this out, but added that the idea centers around the concern that Russian missiles or aircraft might deliberately attack targets inside NATO territory at some point.

According to him, there is every possibility that Russian President, Vladimir Putin may decide to launch attacks on those nations because of their support for Ukraine.

He said there is also concern that air defense be made readily available if there is inadvertent straying of Russia into NATO airspace.

According to him, the most likely systems that could be deployed by America are the Patriot and the THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense).

The system has been successfully used in the Middle East to help shoot down incoming ballistic missiles.

I hope you know that the US as the world super power is still better for the world. Russia being a joint super power is to keep things under check to prevent the US and NATO from having absolute power that corrupts absolutely. We already saw what that did in Libya, Syria, Yugoslavia, Iraq etc.

Neither Russia, nor China will be a better super power than the US. The problem so far has been some individuals who tend to hijack and use the instruments of power (using political groupthink and majority tyranny) to further their own parochial agenda over the whole of mankind.

Svlla:
THAAD and Patriots are one of the best Air defence systems around

Hashabiah:
You're making assumptions that don't fit in with the reality at hand . The US has a long history of undermining the political and financial structures of a lot of countries, and have driven them to the brink of politically-imposed suffering ...and yet you're saying they're the best for the world...? Oga, that's the worst thing I've heard this year

seunny4lif:

Maybe you should ask Israeli and Saudi Arabia.

Svlla:
one of the best
Israeli David Sling and Iron Dome too is one of the best in the world

I don't know about Saudi Arabia

Svlla:


Na just excuse from Saudi to buy some S400 without Amercan sanctions

seunny4lif:
Israeli and Saudi have called USA air defence systems total failure
It’s overrated

9gerian:
I get you.

However, if the excessive overreach is curtailed, US has the potential to lead the world peacefully, but then there is the military industrial complex that has its tentacles around the necks of US politicians and the establishment, which needs wars to thrive and stay relevant.
