"These plans have disturbed us very much."

Of course they do. When Reagan announced the concept of SDI back in the 80s, the Sovs soiled their pants. They knew, given time, we could actually pull it off.

Russian chief of staff Yuri Baluyeski adds that an effective missile defense shield to stop Iranian missiles would need to be based in Greece, and the Czech and Polish positions are aimed at stopping a possible Russian attack.

However, an effective missile defense shield for Europe, being based in central Europe, is positioned in a BETTER position to stop all missiles coming from all directions.

I'll bet you're going to say, that this is another example of Poland's "treating Russia like dirt" and "kicking the bear" in something.

How even dare those bloody, impudent Poles to try preventing a possible Russian attack!!! (sarcasm)

Well, I was about to say Russia wouldn't be too happy with this news then read further..

However, some nations which are not in the shield say the idea will only lead to another arms race. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov says, "These plans have disturbed us very much."

Nice they are so predictable.

Yeah, sure....and rogue nations like N. Korea and Iran seeking nuclear weapons won't? We're already witnessing an arms race in the Mid/far-east with Pakistan and India's possession of nukes. Heck, if Saddam were still in power today, do you think he would be sitting idly by as his neighbor next-door developed a nuclear program. How about Japan and its concerns over N. Korea and China. Here's a clue: The arms race has already begun.

In these two countries that recently suffered cruel Russian occupation, squeals of opposition from the Russians are a political plus.
