Would Russia Bomb NATO Missile Sites? [AUDIO]
News reports this week say Russia is suspicious of NATO's missile bases in Europe. There are even rumors that Russia might even bomb those sites, seeing them as a threat. I spoke with former Ambassador Mark Johnson, director of the Montana World Affairs Council about what is happening in central Asia right now.
Johnson says the threat is a recurrence of cold war rhetoric, even though Russia knows the missile sites are really a reaction to the growing threat from Iran to launch missiles with a range that could threaten NATO countries. My interview with Johnson is below.
