Sergey Ivanov, Russia's deputy prime minister, made the controversial demand during a visit to the United States where he met with top officials including Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State.
"We insist on only one thing," he said of the nascent US-backed missile defence shield. "That we are an equal part of it."
"In practical terms, that means that our office will sit for example in Brussels and agree on a red-button push to launch an interceptor missile, regardless of whether the missile is launched from Poland, Russia or the UK."

Sure, why not. Make perfect since if your suicidal, which obviously we as a country we are.
Or traitorous.
Sergey you are friggin high if you think for one minut...oh wait. Erkel mugabe will sign off on such BS.
You’re a week late on the April Fools joke...
Well it is a joke, likely one that will kill Americans.
Obama would rather let Russia stop us from defending ourselves, than defund abortion provided Planned Parenthood.
This would go against US interests, so why wouldn’t the Russians propose it? 0 just might go for it.
Yea!sure when we get red button rights to stop the launch of their ballistic missiles.
He will agree in a heartbeat; they just have to tell him it’s a new Reset Button with a proper translation of “reset.”
It's not like we're building a system to stop 500 missiles at the same time, or even 100. Even the Russians...and by a strange extension the US...would benefit from a joint shield.
The only downside is our shield WOULD be effective against Chinese ICBMs...they only have about 30 that can reach us.
Well if Hillary gives it to them it will be false labeled anyway. ;-)
With ze bam in office, HE just might let iran whack somebody. This world has gone upside down.
HAHA! That’s like giving the UN veto rights over the launching of defensive missiles, over America’s right to defend itself, on a missile by missile basis. What have those freaking idiots been smoking? Surreal. It pains me to say it, but... Trump for president!
Let them build their own.
