Well Thank you to President George "who haven't I pissed off yet" W. Bush who has continued to push for a missile defense system in Poland, to the great annoyance of Russia and President Victor Putin, who said they will not such a dangerous event to occur. President Putin even offered a radar station further east to be used by the United States and Europe if they really wanted to have a missile defense system against Iran or North Korea, and not aimed at Russia.
So Russia said Saturday it will suspend participation in a key European arms control treaty, halting NATO inspections of its military sites and no longer limiting the numbers of its tanks and other heavy conventional weapons.
The move, threatened for months, added new tension to relations with the West already strained over U.S. plans to build a missile shield in Eastern Europe, Russian conflicts with its neighbors and Western criticism of Moscow's human rights record. The suspension is to take place 150 days after Russia officially notifies all the countries concerned of its intention. Experts said the move was a symbolic gesture rather than a sign of Russian intent to build up forces near its borders. The Kremlin, they said, appeared to be expressing its dissatisfaction with the perceived U.S. domination of global affairs, and positioning Russia as an unyielding global player.
Please read the story at the end of this link and contact the White House on down and tell them to stop pissing off Putin and do the right thing for once and work toward a common goal!!
