Putin issues sharp warning to US, vows to counter 'imperialism'
MOSCOW (AFP) -
President Vladimir Putin issued an acerbic warning Friday to the
United States, saying the recent test of a new Russian missile was a
direct response to US actions and condemning "imperialism" in world
affairs.
"Our American partners have quit the ABM Treaty," Putin told reporters
after meeting his Greek counterpart, referring to the landmark 1972
US-Soviet treaty limiting the missile defenses of the Cold War
superpower foes.
"We warned them then that we would come out with a response to
maintain the strategic balance in the world. Yesterday we conducted a
test of a new strategic ballistic missile with multiple warheads, and
of a new cruise missile, and will continue to improve our resources."
The United States informed Russia in 2001 that it was exercising its
option to withdraw unilaterally from the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM)
pact.
It has since stepped up controversial plans, fiercely opposed by
Russia, to deploy a missile defence shield in eastern Europe.
Putin warned Wednesday that the US missile defense plan would turn
Europe into a "powder keg" and he repeated on Thursday previous
assertions that the planned deployments would ignite a new Cold
War-style arms buildup.
"We are not the initiators of this new round of the arms race," Putin
said.

Sounds like Bush still thinks there is a cold war going on. Must be
flashbacks thanks to his days of drinking and drugs.

Are you sure he's sober? Would you call this man's behavior "normal"?

Putin's remarks gives me hope that the entire world has not (yet) gone
completely insane. Russia and China are most likely the only two nations
with the ability to make Washington pause. We need both of these nations
to step up to the plate and help deter the out-of-control conduct from
Washington.

Speaking of China, they just announced the development of a new
nuclear submarine fleet.

Ever hear of diplomacy? Has to do with talking to the other side, something
you repugs never do. Rather than do the diplomatic thing and talk to Iran
and Syria from day one, you idiots invaded Iraq. Hows that workin' out?
