Russia criticizes U.S. plans to build missile defense shield in Europe
 (Xinhua) -- Russia's military chief of staff criticized on Wednesday U.S. plans to deploy missile defense systems in Europe, saying the planned move is a mistake. In a strange way, I agree. I feel faint, I'd best go lie down. Russia sees the plans as "an erroneous step with extremely negative consequences for international security," Gen. Yuri Baluyevsky was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying. "The formation of a U.S. missile defense base in Europe cannot be viewed otherwise than as a serious re-configuration of U.S. military presence," he said. Posted by: Fred 2006-12-14 |
