This is quite the article...although my favorite part is the last line "Russia's first deputy prime minister Dmitry Medvedev - whom Putin has anointed as his presidential successor - is a devoted Deep Purple fan." How do you go from... we are goign to point Nuclear missles at Ukraine to...oh by the way our next president loves deep purple

Don't know. Maybe they threw it in there as a poor excuse for comic relief?

The true purpose was "the neutralisation of our nuclear missile potential, which prompts Russia to take retaliatory action", Putin declared.

But of course this can only get tenser from here on out. It's the cold war all over again!

This would be Russia's equivalent of the Cuban Missile Crisis if this "missile shield" would come to fruition.
