The United States has asked to start talks on siting part of a controversial anti-missile system on Czech soil, Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek said on Saturday. "Late last night we were informed that they would like to launch negotiations over the possible siting of an anti-ballistic missile defence system in our country. Concretely, this would be a radar station," Topolanek announced at a news conference.
The official US request came within minutes of Topolanek's centre-right government, which backs Czech participation in the US defence system, being confirmed in power. The confirmation came in a crucial parliamentary confidence vote which ended more than seven months of political deadlock.
Washington wants to deploy 10 interceptor missiles and a radar in Europe to reinforce its defences against the perceived threat of a ballistic missile attack from North Korea or Iran.
US Requests Official Talks Over Czech Anti-Missile Installation

Is that a paranoia? Paranoia is the waiting for North Korean missiles in Czech Republic. Where is North Korea and where is Czech.
Everyone understand against whom this anti-missile system is. The USA try to depreciate the Russian nuclear weapon and create instability near the Russian borders, of course, Russia need to react. The sad experience of Yugoslavia shows that it is better to consider paranoid threats than to not consider real ones.
And I don’t see any big failures in Russia’s domestic policies. From my point of view - are very more successful last years. As for “energy blackmail of Europe”, this is a propagandist myth that haven’t got any confirmation in reality.
