Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, in an article in the Washington Post, calls Russian President Vladimir Putin's proposal for NATO-Russian cooperation on missile defense a bold initiative.
He says cooperation on a joint missile defense system could be the forerunner for cooperation on other global issues.
VOA's Susanne Presto talked with Kissinger on his views about this issue in New York. Click on the link below to see the entire interview.

Wasn’t that Reagan’s idea in the first place? Now Putin gets the credit?

Reagan wanted to scrap all nuclear weapons when he met with Gorbachev in Iceland. It was close. Gorbachev backed off.

Why don’t these old doofusses just fade away like MacArther? They are like smelly swamp things in horror movies. They just keep resurfacing and stinking more and more.

I can tell you for a fact they want nothing to do with your
weak firefighting aircraft. Nothing, nada, zilch, rien.
Hey - if you can't defend your own people, you will go on and on and on having
chronic Katrinas.

I don’t trust them either. Since they lost superpower status they will do anything to get it back.

Hmmm, what’s the matter Putin, think you’re going to need a missile shield? Knock of the puppy love thing with China and we’ll talk.
To: pissant
I don’t think Putin’s proposal is about technology. IIRC he’s proposing using Russian systems (S-400s and S-300s). I think it’s about having a measure of control over the shield and ensuring that it’s not used to negate Russia’s nuclear deterrent. As a plus, it also increases Russia’s status in the world and could have a minor impact on their export sales.
To: JohnA
We’ve had fire fighting aircraft since the ‘30s. Big deal.
