Shootin' Putin attacks US missile defence. - Polidicks

[release]US plans for a missile defence shield are holding up a new nuclear disarmament treaty, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has said. Russia and the US are yet to find a successor to the Cold War-era Start I treaty, which expired on 5 December. Analysts say Moscow wants a clause in the new treaty that would limit the scale of any US defence shield. The US has shelved plans for missile defence stations in Central Europe, but intends to use a sea-based system. Asked by a reporter what was the biggest problem blocking a new treaty, Mr Putin said: "What is the problem? The problem is that our American partners are building an anti-missile shield and we are not building one." "By building such an umbrella over themselves, our [US] partners could feel themselves fully secure and will do whatever they want, which upsets the balance," the Russian premier added. Earlier this month, President Dmitry Medvedev said Russia would continue to develop new warheads, delivery vehicles and launchers despite the disarmament talks, describing this as "routine practice". Russia and the US are negotiating in Geneva on the details of a new treaty. Last week, the Russian foreign minister said a deal was very close. The 1991 Start I treaty led to deep cuts in nuclear arsenals by Washington and Moscow. Both sides have agreed to continue observing Start I until they reach a new agreement. Under a joint understanding signed in July, deployed nuclear warheads should be cut to fewer than 1,700 on each side within seven years of a new treaty - a huge cut on Soviet-era levels. Nonetheless, between them the two countries will retain enough firepower to destroy the world several times over. The BBC's Rupert Wingfield-Hayes in Moscow says that Russia's nuclear arsenal is the only part of its military that remains world-class, and therefore it fears that it could be disadvantaged by cuts to nuclear capability. Mr Putin's comments could be a negotiating ploy, rather than a reversal of Russia's commitment to a treaty, our correspondent says. Analysts in Moscow think what Mr Putin really wants is a commitment from Washington to only deploy a small scale missile defence system, that would be effective against Iran and North Korea but would not neutralise Russia's nuclear missile force, he adds.

We should nuke the fuck out of them.

[QUOTE=Swimbound;19276446]Its the american way.[/QUOTE] How so?

Well lets just hope shit doesn't go down. I enjoy living.

They shouldn't [B][I]rush-in[/I][/B] to an agreement :smug:

[QUOTE=Swimbound;19276446]Its the american way.[/QUOTE] Not really.

"He's totally right! How dare we build defenses and make our selfs feel safe!" :downs: He seriously need to shut up and quit whining.

US can nuke the fuck out of Russia but Russia can't nuke US. It's understandable that he's pissed off because of that.

Good to see more and more nations are standing up to the US now rather than letting it boss them around.

I doubt Obama would nuke Russia, Russia just knows that with the shield they can't boss around the rest of the world anymore.

[QUOTE=Thom12255;19279488]I doubt Obama would nuke Russia, Russia just knows that with the shield they can't boss around the rest of the world anymore.[/QUOTE] Next president could nuke Russia. Making a missile shield isn't really a 2-3 year project anyway.

They should stop bitching and build there own shield... We shouldn't let them stop us from building a shield to protect our people, Fuck them. (Not to mention and the Demorat's in office now we probably wouldn't do anything but suck Russia's dick at the moment) I love how 13 year old face punchers (The Majority) think they know something about politics :V

Just noticed the thread title could be misinterpreted as some SERIOUS shit going down.

US gets a shield so the russians make one. US/russia make a way of getting through the shield and the other country responds. This escalates into a new cold war. And those 13 year olds seem to know allot more about politics than you. Get a fucking education. And learn your history so that it can't repeat itself.

And we should build a fucking defense shield regardless of what they fucking think.

What if Russia doesn't want to waste money on a nuclear shield when they need the money to get their economics up and running. Then they have to resort to "fuck you don't make the shield fagts".

They're just putting up their guard against North Korea, Iran and others. Chill out cynics.

[QUOTE=faze;19279929]They're just putting up their guard against North Korea, Iran and others. Chill out cynics.[/QUOTE] What if North Korea gets piss from this nuclear shield thing and attacks NOW? Then it would backfire pretty majorly, no?

No, they would have South Korea, China, USA, England, Germany, France, Russia, and lots of others on them. They have no air force, very little, if any navy, and a few undertrained military shooting ak's. They have no chance of doing anything of great damage given their current economic situation.

[QUOTE=Fippe;19279960]What if North Korea gets piss from this nuclear shield thing and attacks NOW? Then it would backfire pretty majorly, no?[/QUOTE] NK's missiles are powered by rice and swine. They can hardly reach Hawaii let alone mainland America.
