If I had any doubts of the mindless nuclear aggressiveness of US- NATO ambitions in Europe, then your helpful link cleared up any confusion. Sheer TERROR!
‘Now try and tell me that Patriot missiles can take out ICBM/IRBM's, they travel at about 2-4km/s in the only period they are vulnerable to Patriot and it cannot catch them. How do they alter the status quo?’
I can’t answer your question because (a) I don’t know, and (b) I don’t want to know, and (c) what’s the point of knowing crap like this, and (d) I’m not disturbed enough to understand the minds that measure and quantify the geo-political advantage of these grotesque mass-killing facilities and then have the audacity to call them ‘security’.
However, one comment I can make is that those weapons are in Russia's environs, NOT the US. The one time the USSR dared to move nuclear WMD's within coo-ee of the US, the US administration almost went into complete neurotic collapse. However, Russia is expected to live with this threat all the time. And we wonder why they get paranoid.

‘You ask why do they say "Russia invades, we intervene". Well UN resolutions are part of the answer. We had full UN backing to stop the ethnic slaughter in Kosovo including resolutions authorizing force.’
… and Iraq. Oh, that’s right … ooops!
