strategic arms reduction treaty between moscow and washington has been unable to help. at a time of warmer bilateral relations. broncs decided to deploy a missile defense system aimed at protecting europe but they were setting up too close to russia's borders and must go didn't view it as a friendly gesture. we want to defend the whole europe not just some european countries with one or european allies and friends to join on missile defense strategy. in the event of the situation with a european missile defense system becoming unfavorable to russia we reserve the right to take no further steps in the nuclear disarmament area. the kremlin has repeatedly demanded that nato guarantees that the european missile defense shield would pose no threat to russia's strategic interests sofa the west has refused to

when you hear them rumbling past you get a sense of great might there is no dealt to defend our country. without an agreement with the united states on missile defense and in the face of potential military threats russia was compelled to think of countermeasures. the country has declared in the past that it may withdraw from the strategic arms reduction treaty and said it will introduce measures to counter the missile defense . we will go ahead with the deployment of our missile defense system it is obvious that this presupposes deployment of its components in poland in romania or a station in turkey obviously this will soon tell these their mission of a base in spain for american ships equipped with the system.
1:36 am
it is obvious that the missile defense system will be targeted at the russian federation rather than some mythical middle eastern countries possessing a virtual missiles. at least fifteen countries around the world have been involved with the nato missile defense shield. their radar stations in denmark and britain which is also host to interceptor missiles. canada two is going to join the project anti missile functions will be given to be agency responsible for north america's outer space defense. japan has decided to assist the nato missile defense shield its taking part in the manufacture of a just interceptor missiles. japan is going to build a forward based radar station on its territory. a similar radar station has already been built in turkey. the czech republic rumania hungry are ready to allow nato as missile defense complexes to be placed on their territory. if there

1:40 am
nothing simple about rockets but the using very early generation rocket technology the only rockets they could build that could reach the united states would be enormous in size and not be mobile. they would have to be launched from fixed locations where the united states and russia if russia joined the united states could monitor these these missiles many in the united states dislike the views of. a maintains that the european missile defense system is ineffective the scientist estimates that it has no chance of protecting the united states from a rainy and missiles instead it creates problems for russia if russia believes the fence is not needed. but it doesn't if you're radical threat to russia. my guess is that russia. if you want to spend your national treasure this will
