The 1st Law of Russian Foreign Policy
The prevailing Russian strategy is that anything which hurts the USA and its people, is good for Russia in the big zero sum great game that doesn't exist, EVEN IF that means a nuclear detonation in Israel or the USA, since they have judged that a full scale nuclear war will not break out.
Putin Says Missile Plan Risks RelationsWhy?MOSCOW (AP) - In a tense start to talks on a range of thorny issues, President Vladimir Putin on Friday warned U.S. officials to back off a plan to install missile defenses in eastern Europe or risk harming relations with Moscow
Addressing Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Defense Secretary Robert Gates, the Russian president appeared to mock the U.S. missile defense plan, which is at the center of a tangle of arms control and diplomatic disputes between the former Cold War adversaries.
"Of course we can sometime in the future decide that some anti-missile defense system should be established somewhere on the moon," Putin said, according to an English translation. "But before we reach such arrangements we will lose the opportunity for fixing some particular arrangements between us."
Russia's Putin warns U.S. over missile treaty
NOVO-OGARYOVO, Russia (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin warned the United States on Friday that Russia may quit a Cold War treaty on intermediate missiles if it is not expanded to impose arms restrictions on other states.
American defensive technology which kills incoming missiles in flight will reduce or eliminate Russia's ability to threaten her neighbors.
The fact that these anti missile missiles which can strike NO RUSSIAN ground target are intended as protection from Iran's bullying or outright attack, makes NO DIFFERENCE to Russian strategic planning.
It is time to ADMIT that in acting out in this manner and others such as all the renewed Bear-H patrols to american borders, and stretching already stretched US forces even further,a new strategic ICBM, SLBM, and a new missile launching strategic submarine CLASS, by their actions over YEARS in the UN, and in aid, in sales of strategic technologies and weapons such as the Kilo and Amur, and in foreign policy, the Russian are advancing Iranian interests, and they are doing so INTENTIONALLY, in obeying their first law of foreign policy.
