Medvedev warns US over missile shield plan
According to Tomas Valasek of the CER, the new element in Mr Medvedev’s comments is his threat to sabotage the US-Russia arms control process. "Mr Medvedev seems to be taking the debate on missile defence into the strategic realm of US-Russia arms control." "Here, the prize is to get a follow-on deal to the Obama-Medvedev agreement of 2008. The chances of success here are already low and these comments may push them lower."
