Russia’s Cold War anger over U.S. shield: misjudged?

Posted by Matt in July 10th, 2008

Russia’s angry response to an accord between Washington and Prague on building part of a U.S. missile defence shield in the Czech Republic is reminiscent of the rhetoric of the Cold War. Although Russian President Dmitry Medvedev says Moscow still wants talks on the missile shield, his Foreign Ministry has threatened a “military-technical” response if the shield is deployed.

That phrase could have come straight out of the Soviet lexicon and seems more at home in the second half of the last century than now. Russian military analyst Pavel Felgenhauer called it psychological pressure to try to encourage opposition to the missile system among Europeans, and described it as “the same sort that was used in the 1980s by the Soviet Union when the United States deployed cruise missiles in Europe.”

Bush: missile defense system not aimed at Russia
Hi, I'm Kristin with today's news update on this Tuesday, the first day of April 2008. President Bush says a planned missile defense system in Eastern Europe is no threat to Russia. His comments come two days before a NATO summit that's expected to take up the issue. Russia and some other countries have expressed concern about the system, saying it could be used for offensive reasons. The president disputed that point and said the system is designed to guard against imminent threats from Iran and North Korea. Meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is calling on the President to boycott the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games in Beijing this summer. Pelosi said the boycott would be in protest of China's human rights record. The Bush administration has accused that country of human...

US missile defense in Europe: a new Cold War
Information: http://www.nenasili.cz/en/ Sign the petition:: http://www.nonviolence.cz Dear friend, The Czech Parliament will have to take a stand about the construction of a U.S. military base and probably it will vote in favour of its installation, even though 70% of the population opposes this plan.Given the urgency of the situation, we have launched an on-line petition to exert pressure on the Parliament and ask that the matter be resolved with a referendum. The NMD project of the United States -- their national missile defense system, is a very complex project which involves the production of new weapons, and the installation of American military bases in different parts of the planet. In particular, in Europe, the first step is the installation of a radar system in the Czech...

US Anti-Missile Shield vs Russian Federation Topol-M
http://www.youtube.com/PowerRussia US Anti Missile Shield. National Missile Defense (NMD) as a generic term is a military strategy and associated systems to shield an entire country against incoming Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs). The missiles could be intercepted by other missiles, or possibly by lasers. They could be intercepted near the launch point (boost phase), during flight through space (mid-course phase), or during atmospheric descent (terminal phase). Russian Federation RT-2UTTKh «Topol-M» (Russian: РТ-2УТТХ «Тополь-М») is one of the most recent intercontinental ballistic missiles to be deployed by Russia (see RS-24), and the first to be developed after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. In its Russian designation РТ stands for "ракета...

Half an hour later it hit the Kura testing site, 6000 km (3700 miles) away on the Kamchatka peninsula in the Pacific. "I have just been told that the...

Rice Lied About Purpose of US Missile Defense Shield in Poland
http://nl.youtube.com/user/911NLP http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=8gEy9lC2KMc After the U.S. and the Polish Government agreed to put 10 U.S. funded missile defense intercepters on Polish soil, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice denied that it had anything to do with Russia, saying instead that they were being put there to defend Poland against North Korea or Iran. The only problem with that, um, LIE, is that neither North Korea nor Iran have any missiles that can reach Poland, and even if they built some, Iran and North Korea don't have any political disagreements with Poland. So she's either lying here, or she's so incredibly mis-informed about international politics that she should resign from her post immediately.
