Evil Eye

(Fox News) - Russia's top military commander says his country has no obligation to defend other countries against what he calls "evil Americans."

Russia's state news agency says General Yury Baluyevsky was responding to a reporter's question about whether the world could depend on Russia to defend it from what the interviewer called "insidious American plans." The general said no — but he did say U.S. plans to build a missile defense system in Eastern Europe are directed against and aimed at Russia — not Iran.

He said Americans want the ability to use their weapons without the possibility of being targeted in return. And he compared the American missile shield plan to a facetious suggestion that Russia deploy defensive missiles in Venezuela.
