#3 In return the Kremlin is particularly angered by US plans to move missiles into eastern Europe....the Kremlin is convinced they are directed at Russia.

They aren't aimed at you, silly. That is what our new boomers are for!

#5 "We wonder too about some Russian policies that seem to work against international stability such as its arms transfers and its temptation to use energy resources for political coercion."

-however, those of us who regularly read the 'Burg do not wonder.

#7 (1) Lest we fergit, as I recall the USSR put up anti-missle + anti-air missle defenses around Moscow and other Soviet cities and key mil bases, while the USA did not, becuz the USA is strong while ultra-Lefty USSR did not officially admit to being either strong or weak. "RUSSIA" STILL HAS THEM.

And (2), a look at FREEREPUBLIC + LUCIANNE + BBC + MIL BLOG/FORUM MISSLE MAPS show Moscow is NOT too far out-of range for Iran's self-proclaimed new 2000-km missle, a situation whcih will definitely change against Russia's interests as time goes on.

And lastly (3) without saying it, Putin's refusal ro recognize Russia's role in anti-US weapons and tech proliferation goes to show AGAIN that Russia is indeed very much waging an ANTI-US/WESTERN, GLOBAL "WAR FOR OIL/ENERGY", IN TACIT SUPPORT OF GLOBAL ANTI-DEMOCRACY.
