Putin has asserted that our movement to build missile defense systems in Europe is an attempt to restart the arms race. Gorbachev has also weighed in with a similar opinion.
We almost went to war when Russia has missiles based in Miami forty-six years ago. How would we feel if they put missiles there once more?
It sounds as though Bush wants to leave office with a bang.

Absolutely. The media, even the BBC, is playing this from the angle of Russia acting tough with its new-found oil wealth. Personally, I believe they're simply defending themselves, as any other nation would do if a foreign power decided to shove batteries of missiles in its backyard. I'm not sure Putin is the arrogant one.
