It's Official, Cold War II has been declared
Putin has been acting pretty weird the last couple of years and here is why.
What gain does Russia get from declaring the CW II?
What gain does the U.S. get in fighting the war?
Will the next President be able to difuse the war?
Will this trigger a Nuclear WWIII?
Lots of questions.
Do the resident AT experts have the answers as they always claim?
What is the Whitehouse response?
5-31-2007 Putin: U.S. has triggered new arms race
MOSCOW - President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that tests of new Russian missiles were a response to the planned deployment of U.S. missile defense installations and other forces in Europe, suggesting Washington has triggered a new arms race.
In a clear reference to the United States, he harshly criticized "imperialism" in global affairs and warned that Russia will strengthen its military potential to maintain a global strategic balance.
"It wasn't us who initiated a new round of arms race," Putin said when asked about Russia's missile tests at a news conference after talks in the Kremlin with Greek President Karolos Papoulias.
Putin described Tuesday's tests of a new ballistic missile capable of carrying multiple nuclear warheads and a new cruise missile as part of the Russian response to the planned deployment of new U.S. military bases and missile defense sites in ex-Soviet satellites in Central and Eastern Europe.
Putin and other Russian officials have repeatedly rejected U.S. assurances that the planned missile defense installations are meant to counter a potential threat from nations such as Iran and pose no danger to Russia.
In one missile test Tuesday, a prototype of new Russia's intercontinental ballistic missile, called the RS-24, was fired from a mobile launcher at the Plesetsk launch site in northwestern Russia and its test warhead landed on target 3,400 miles away
Putin described the tests of new missiles conducted by Russia on Tuesday as a necessary response to the Western action.
