U.S. plans to install a missile shield in Eastern Europe, more precisely in Czech Republic and Poland, led to a dispute with Russia and sparked the memory of the Cold War.
The controversy between the two powers began early last year when the U.S. administration announced that its projects were pointed out to place a missile security shield to prevent an attack on Europe by North Korea or Iran. This angered the Russian Federation, in response, announced it was suspending demilitarization treaty signed between the two countries in 1990, as it believes that the system will affect their industry and its major cities, and in retaliation, will increase its military potential.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice described as "absurd" the Russian president's concerns, while the U.S. president, George Bush, said that "Russia is not the enemy", and tried to calm the tone of the dispute Putin keeps noting: "The Cold War is over."
in June by a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the summit of the G8 countries, with George Bush, his Russian counterpart, Vladirmir Putin proposed, seeking to avoid the construction of the shield, the joint use of the Gabala radar base in Azerbaijan, to monitor possible attacks from Iran to European whites, a danger that Bush had put forward to justify the installation of a radar in the Czech Republic and ten interceptors in Poland, which had provoked harsh reactions in Russia, which saw this as a threat to their safety.
Putin's proposal was hailed by Bush as an "interesting idea", and agreed to study it, but did not give up the deployment of the shield in Eastern Europe.
In response, the Russian president, argued that it will target Russian missiles Europe was the first time since the end of the Cold War, if Washington does not back down in your project, and threatened: "If deployment of a missile shield in Europe, today warned, will be answered. We need to ensure our security ", to which U.S. and NATO responded:" The threat of Putin is useless and unhelpful. "
For his part, Prime Minister of Poland, Donald Tusk, said, on 6 February in Warsaw that his country has not yet made a final decision with regard to the location within its territory of elements of the U.S. missile defense. He added that: " any event in Polish-Russian relations should be aware that Poland is a member of the European Union and NATO and has relations with the U.S. ally. "
Referring Tusk's visit to Bladimir Putin on February 8 in the Kremlin, the Russian Prime Minister Victor Zubkov said: "This visit is an important milestone in the development of Russian-Polish relations. We want to have as its foundation respect for the interests of each party and is governed by the principle of good neighborliness, "and pledged that Russia would" continue to develop cooperation with Poland, its neighbor and partner in the political, economic, commercial, cultural and humanitarian law. " Furthermore
Deputy Russian Defense Alexander Kolmakov, argued at the meeting of the heads of the military departments of Russia-NATO Council, which plans to NATO, Organization of the North Atlantic Treaty, to integrate into your security system the U.S. missile shield affect relations between NATO and Russia.
Many experts believe that today the only power that can overcome the U.S. missile shield, Russia. But according to Russian risk perception is not contemporary, but the future is the technology gap after suffering Russia on the Western powers.
Something to note is that Russia supported the U.S. policy in different landscapes and have not received anything in return, so the code that inspired the movements of Bush, is that Russia will not be reborn as a great power.
What many call "The New Cold War", is very far from it because, in principle, there are now only a hegemonic power relations are not strained. Besides Putin is present in the G8, and the scenario is not the same as in the Cold War or the game, or structures operating time.
They could ask the inhabitants of the Russian people, but especially the Polish and Czech people, whether they like to live under a custody based on a missile shield and within a conflict controversial because it has military power as one or the other has, as ultimately, or at least demonstrate that the rulers, "working for the good of his people and for their development."
