MOSCOW, Feb. 8 (UPI) -- U.S. missile defense plans in Europe could set off a new arms race, an advisor to Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday.
Gleb Pavlovsky, an influential political adviser to the Russian president, warned that the U.S. drive to deploy ballistic missile defense, or BMD assets in Poland and the Czech Republic could mean that the Bush administration was targeting Russia, as it had done during the Cold War, the RIA Novosti news agency reported.
"This surely is the beginning of an arms race in some sense," Pavlovsky said. "Which is all the more unjustified given that Russia has never, not on a single issue, expressed an intention to confront the U.S. or to deter it."
"According to Pavlovsky, another sign of Washington's increasingly hostile policies vis-a-vis Moscow is Freedom House's latest Freedom in the World survey, in which the U.S. government-funded advocacy group placed Russia in the 'not free' category, alongside North Korea, Cuba and Libya, countries where the U.S. is waging or considering military action," the RIA Novosti report said.
"We should be aware that Russia has been placed in the group of targeted nations," Pavlovsky said according to the report.
The RIA Novosti report noted that the U.S. government had already moved its massive SBX radar array, designed to monitor and guide anti-ballistic missiles to intercept incoming intercontinental ballistic missiles, from Hawaii to the Aleutian Islands, close to Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula. The U.S. government says the BMD ground-based midcourse interceptors being deployed around Fort Greely, Alaska are meant to defend against potential threats from so-called "rogue" states like Iran or North Korea.
Cry me a river, Putin.
Poor ole Putin -- just cannot come to grips that communism will not work, never has worked, and just has to keep trying to make trouble -- now WHO wants another Cold War??? Maybe Putin should look in the mirror.
I'd think Russia would be the one wanting a rematch since they lost the last round.
A whiny Holocaust-denying, Napoleonic power-monger?
They're both on a par, I think.
Is he kidding?
Selling arms to Iran... Creating oil deals with South America... Blocking us at every turn in the U.N...
Who is this guy, Rip Van-Winkle?
Why did they just announce they're building new ICBM's?
Who are those going to be pointed at?
Russians are liars.

Putin, the KGB Col & acting neo-Soviet dictator is pushing through the back door for WWIII almost as much as the Iranians are pushing through the front door (outfitted of course with all the latest Russian weaponry.
Russia supports the worst people on the planet and backstabs the US at every possible chance. They lie and always have lied. So do the chinese.
We have all seen this coming for along time at FR.
China/Russia/And Iran have a
defacto anti-US/Anti-western/anti-democracy alliance.They want to be the sphere of influence and not the democratic west. We all need to stay vigilant and keep a keen razors edge to possible aggresive moves by these nations.
Excellent.
A new Cold War will mean a full employment economy for the engineers and scientists. All of the defense contractors will have to gear up for big government contracts again.
There has been some words out of Russia talking about a "Great Reunification" and that it would ressurect the USSR in the process.

The "influental political adviser"? :))) Give me a break Joe:). Pavlovsky is just one of journalists. They talk so much last times.
Bring it on! We beat them before, and we can do it again. Well... maybe not. That really depends on who the next president is, and the way it looks right now... sigh.
