"In a historic break with Russia, President George W. Bush served formal notice to Russia that the United States is withdrawing from the 1972 Anti?Ballistic Missile Treaty, a move effective in six months.
"I have concluded the ABM treaty hinders our government's ability to develop ways to protect our people from future terrorist or rogue?state missile attacks," Bush said.
Bush quit that treaty and decided to spend billions on an anti-missle system located in Poland and Czech Republic, (not supported by the societies in these countries BTW, but well, who cares?) which in the eyes of many defence and military experts, may be even not useful at all
that system is "not against Russia", its against rogue states, such as Iran or Korea, but is an nuclear attak from such countries really likely in the foreseable future? IMO... not at all.... And , if feared, other measures can be used to prevent a nuclear conflict with them.
And Russia... well... they are just replying with the same. Can you really blame them?
also, remember, Russians think about Americans the same you think about Russians (Ok, they watch American movies etc but when it comes to politics, they think about the US exaclty what you think about them). When they hear about the new anti-missle system planned by the US in central/eastern Europe, an area that used to be under their control during Cold War, they just think what you just said about them... namely "fucking Americans"....
One can only hope that there won't be another Cold War from it, but I think the world isn't two sided anymore so that's not really a danger... at least not to such extent as in the past
but really, its that easy... you need to be able to look at certain things from many points of views... Bush lacked this ability... you support and elected Obama so you should try to...
