The freshly elected new president of the United States promised to continue the project to U.S. Missile Defense (ABM) in Poland.
This was given to indicate the Polish presidency Saturday reporting the remarks made by Barack Obama during a telephone conversation he had with the Polish President Lech Kaczynski Friday evening. ( Finance Information City )
Interesting to note in multiple titles. Poland is somewhere between the "hammer" and "anvil" between U.S. and NATO on the one hand and pressure from Russia on its gas supplies while Putin could quickly - openly - take the reins the Kremlin.
Note, however, the "convergence of views" between Obama and Russia on oil from Alaska. "Barack Obama stressed the importance of strategic partnership between Poland and the United States, he hoped to continue the political and military cooperation between the two countries. He also informed that the proposed missile shield will continue ", According to official statement of the Polish presidency.
For the record, Washington has recently signed with Prague and Warsaw agreements for installation, in 2013, a powerful radar in the Czech Republic, to be coupled to ten interceptors based in Poland to counter possible attacks long-range ballistic missiles.
The project aroused the ire of Moscow, which sees tot at once an affront to its security .... and the loss of its "influence in Poland" ....
This country has a strategic position between Russia and Western Europe could also "offer" its participation in the NATO force in Afghanistan (ISAF). This subject was also addressed by Barack Obama and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
Note however that Washington has just made new proposals to Russia on the missile-defense shield to try to lessen the criticism of Moscow against him.
The American negotiator John Rood said Thursday that the proposal on the missile had been sent "earlier this week, before the Russian president Dmitri Medvedev does not threaten to deploy Iskander missiles in the Kaliningrad enclave to push Washington to give up this shield.
Mr. Rood, Assistant Secretary in charge of arms control and international security, said Washington had also submitted to Russia's proposal for a "legally binding" treaty to replace the reduction in the number of Strategic Arms (START ), Which expires in December 2009. Mr. Rood plans to meet his Russian counterpart Sergei Ryabkov in the coming weeks, probably in Moscow to discuss these proposals.
"President Obama might suspend the deployment of U.S. missile shield in Europe had felt about him before John Bolton, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State, in charge of arms control.
"Barack Obama is trying to show, on this issue as in many other areas, varying approaches. Sometimes he says he is for the ABM, sometimes it is against. But I think it will suspend the deployment , As he deems necessary to conduct further studies to reduce the budget then, "said Bolton, currently a researcher at the American Enterprise Institute, in an interview with Echo Moscow radio. "That is why I am concerned about the future of the ABM, and I am not at all sure that the shield will be deployed", had he added.
"Democratic Senator Barack Obama, elected to the American presidency, to launch dialogue with Moscow to reduce nuclear arsenals each other" for its wishes to clarify the Russian press, relaying the content of the program of action made public Thursday by his administration.
"Barack Obama will seek a reduction in deep and controlled all U.S. nuclear weapons and Russia, and will work with other nuclear powers in order to significantly reduce the arsenals before the end of his mandate," says the document.
The president-elect has described as "dangerous relic of the Cold War" that nuclear missiles in a state of permanent alert remains another point between the two countries, calling on Russia to "seek a solution".
Moreover, Mr. Obama wants to organize in 2009 a world summit for the prevention of nuclear terrorism "together, among other permanent members of the Security Council of the United Nations, said his program also Ria Novosti.
"The signing of a new treaty on nuclear disarmament between Russia and the United States is of fundamental importance for a stable and solid peace", said meanwhile Monday evening in Madrid the former Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Foreign, Igor Ivanov. Ll'former Russia's foreign minister reiterated that Russia and the United States still had 90% reserves of nuclear weapons in the world.
Small "glimmer" of hope in this world crude? USA and Russia could find "common ground" "grace" or because of oil ...
Last August, Barack Obama, said that the United States and Canada need to build a pipeline to transport natural gas from a field of Arctic Alaska.
Over the next five years, "we must exploit our considerable natural gas resources and build finally, in collaboration with the Canadian Government, serving a pipeline to transport natural gas from Alaska," he said Monday in University of Michigan in a speech on energy policy in the United States.
Following this intervention, the staff of Senator electoral issued official statement stressing that the construction of a pipeline in Alaska was "critical to energy security of the country."
