I write this on February 17, the fifth anniversary of Kosovo’s “independence.” I’m putting the word in scare quotes because Kosovo is anything but an independent nation: it is, in reality, dependent on NATO, the European Union, and the US for the most basic functions of a state: keeping order and maintaining a judicial system.

APNewsBreak: Report casts doubt on US missile shield in Europe protecting America

Posted by seumasach on February 16, 2013

A new missile defense system aimed at Russia could undermine the balance between the nuclear powers, leading Moscow to add to its arsenal and build up its own defenses.
