Russia threatens to target US missile shield

Russia has threatened to target two proposed American bases in Europe with its nuclear missiles if the Pentagon pressed ahead with its plans for a missile defence shield.

In an escalation of the Cold War-style threats favoured by President Vladimir Putin, the general in charge of Russia's ballistic arsenal said that he could target the bases in Poland and the Czech Republic that will host the missile-interceptor shield if America insists on building them.

"I do not exclude the missile-defence shield sites in Poland and the Czech Republic being chosen as targets for some of our intercontinental ballistic missiles," said Gen Nikolai Solovtsov.

America insists that its new shield will carry only a few missiles, designed to intercept warheads fired from rogue states, such as Iran.

But Gen Solovtsov dismissed that concept as a lie, claiming that America was determined to surround Russia with its military might.

"If the Americans signed a treaty with us that they would only deploy 10 anti-missile rockets in Poland and one radar in the Czech Republic and will never put anything else there, then we could deal with this," he said. "However they won't sign, they just tell us verbally, 'We won't threaten you'."

He said that believing such verbal assurances in the past had seen Russia encircled by the Western military alliance, Nato.

"Verbally they already told us that when we re-unite Germany there won't be one Nato soldier there. Now where are they?," he said. "They already cheated Russia once."

Gen Solovtsov's remarks follow a year of increasingly bombastic comments about the proposed missile shield.

I can't say that I think Russia did the right thing here. But I can certainley understand that in a similar situation, if they placed missles on our border that had the same capacity, we would be taking equal measures...at least. It isn't as though Russia didn't plead with us not to do this. This should not come as a surprise to anyone.

Yeah because America is suppose to police the world, and destroy anything that gets in its way. :rolleyes: Also policing the world is very expensive and has contributed greatly to our national debt, not the greatest economic move for our mixed economy. Also the Russians aren't commies, the most powerfull political party in russia is the Unified Russia which is based on the tenets of centrism, although there are some informal aspects of nationalism and populism thrown in there. And the party has so much political power it can now not only pass federal laws, but also to make changes to the Constitution if not vetoed by the Federation Council or the President. THe Communist party of Russia has far less political power.

Poland to continue missile defense talks with Russia

WARSAW, January 10 (RIA Novosti) - Poland will continue consultations with Russia over U.S. plans to deploy missile defense elements in Europe, a senior Polish defense official said after a round of bilateral talks on Thursday.

Warsaw hosted negotiations between groups of Russian and Polish experts led by the two countries' deputy foreign ministers, Russia's Sergei Kislyak and Poland's Witold Waszczykowski.

"These were very interesting talks held in a favorable atmosphere," Stanislaw Komorowski, Poland's deputy defense minister, said, adding that an agreement was reached to continue consultations.

He also said that the parties had exchanged opinions and discussed problems that could arise from the deployment or rejection of the missile defense project.

Poland is motivated by the desire to know the views of its "neighbors, our partners, not enemies," the country's defense official said. However, the parties reiterated the right to make an independent decision.

Kislyak echoed the statement saying that Russia, which will be guided by President Vladimir Putin's initiatives on the issue, "offered quite neighborly positive arguments" during this first dialogue with Polish partners.

At a NATO-Russia Council meeting in Brussels in December 2007, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski invited Russian experts to discuss missile defense deployment in Warsaw.

Earlier on Thursday, Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek held a meeting with his Polish counterpart Donald Tusk in Prague. The Czech official said his government would submit to parliament in April a missile defense bill that includes the placement of a U.S. radar on the country's territory.

Tusk told the press on Wednesday that Poland had not yet received Washington's guarantees that the deployment would enhance the country's security.

Tusk, who took office in November last year and has a more cautious approach to the U.S. proposal than his predecessor Jaroslaw Kaczynski, said Poland and the Czech Republic would coordinate their activities concerning missile defense negotiations with the U.S.

Washington wants to place 10 missile interceptors in Poland and a radar in the neighboring Czech Republic, purportedly to counter a missile threat from Iran and other "rogue" states.

Moscow fiercely opposes the U.S. plans, saying the European shield would destroy the strategic balance of forces and threaten Russia's national interests.
