America withdraws from ABM treaty


Thursday, 13 December, 2001, 18:17 GMT


US President George W Bush has officially announced that the US will withdraw from the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty with Russia.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the move was not unexpected but that he considered it a "mistake". snip

Russia warning

He had informed Congressional leaders of his decision on Wednesday.

Earlier on Thursday, the US ambassador in Moscow delivered a formal document informing the Russian Government of the decision and invoking Article 15 of the treaty, which gives Russia six months' notice before the treaty expires.

"This step was not a surprise for us. However, we consider it a mistake," Mr Putin said in a national television broadcast. snip

Russia had previously warned that a US withdrawal would trigger a new nuclear arms race and weaken international security.

4. Read the PNAC doctrine

it calls for "forward deployment" of US troops and the militarization of space.

forward deployment is moving us from a cold war deployment to the new region of interest, the ME.
(permanent bases in Iraq is part of the plan).

Neocons are going to be the death of us all.
