Source: Associated Press

Russia's ambassador to Denmark, Mikhail Vanin, said this weekend that Danish warships could become targets for Russian nuclear missiles if the Danes join the alliance's missile defense system. Bases are planned in the southern Romanian town of Deveselu and in Poland.

"Neither Romania nor Britain will be intimidated by threats to its alliance or its members," Defense Secretary Michael Fallon said Monday during a one-day visit.

is good for business....Russia and the many components of its nuclear arsenal are already targets for NATO forces - it's only tit for tat that NATO war horses are targets for Russia;s defense.
