Biden's aggressive Foreign Policy speech in Munich

Joe Biden gave a foreign policy speech in Munich outlining the Obama administration's thinking on some important issues, notably, a hard line on Iran and the continuing encirclement of Russia.

A few to note:

-NATO expansion will be pursued: Biden said that the US "would continue to press NATO to seek “deeper cooperation” with like-minded countries."

-Missile shield will be pursued: Biden said that "the Obama administration would continue to pursue a planned missile-defense system that has angered the Kremlin"--this is needed to “counter a growing Iranian capability.”
Obama therefore clearly rejected an opportunity to reduce tensions with Russia, which had explicitly stated the day before that it would not deploy its own missiles if the US dropped its missile-shield plans: as the NYT reported, "Mr. Biden’s speech came a day after Deputy Russian Prime Minister Sergey Ivanov told the same group that Moscow would not deploy its own missiles on the Polish border if the United States reviewed its missile defense plan"; indeed, Reuters reported from Munich that "President Medvedev from the very start said very clearly and unequivocally that if there are no interceptors in Poland and the Czech Republic as was planned by the previous administration, clearly, there will be no Iskanders in Kaliningrad".

Further, claims that the missile shield in Poland and the Czech Republic is in reaction to Iran's "growing capability" is ridiculous. First, Iran won't attack Europe. Second, even if that was the case, why not just put the interceptors in Turkey?

-Kyrgyzstan base: Chances of a US-Russia rapprochement were further reduced when the Obama administration saw Russia's hand behind the loss of the US base in Kyrgyzstan--so the US is still pursuing the encirclement of Russia.
