WASHINGTON -- There was nothing new in the warnings Russia's top general made Wednesday against U.S. plans to deploy anti-ballistic missile defense systems in Central Europe. The news was that he was repeating what he had said before.


Ballistic Missile Defense: U.S. on collision course with Russia


I seem to remember a thread about Russia and its deployment of missiles. Thoughts?

Once again, Russia and America think of Europe as just a chessboard to play on. We're not going to be playing pieces for great powers... well, alright, we are. But we don't like it.

I think the defense contractors are vying for another market incase they don't get their way and can't waste billions in Iraq anymore.

Today I was reading foreign policies of major powers during Cold war..and the issue i was trying to digest was...Disarmament and arms control between US and USSR...seem I am going to see it in real life too!!

I wish this issue closed for ever

Please leaders take some class in diplomacy...

Certainly a factor in lobbyist circles.

WEB a good question and IMO, the US needs an antagonist, and there are just keeping all options open. The military-industrial complex needs these antagonist the more there are the more money can be mnade.

I dont think that the US and Russia are playing a game of chess it's more like checkers if you ask me. Everyone is equal but trying to get as much as they can!

Does anyone know why we are wanting this missle base? And what country exactly are we building this in? Does that country want it and are they asking for it? (the base i mean, not a war)
