Russia 'could opt out of nuclear disarmament deal'

Russia's foreign minister has said his country could opt out of a new nuclear disarmament treaty if it feels threatened by US missile defence plans.

But Sergey Lavrov said current, short-term US plans, which could include ground-based interceptor missiles in Romania, seemed acceptable to Russia. Russia and the US are due to sign a deal to reduce their nuclear stockpiles in Prague on Thursday. Mr Lavrov said the treaty marked a "new level of trust" between the two states. [...]

But he said Russia would have to "see what will happen next". "Russia will have the right to abandon the Start treaty if a quantitative and qualitative build-up of the US strategic anti-missile potential begins to significantly affect the efficiency of Russia's strategic forces," he said.

So viel dazu... :roll:

Obama sollte sich hüten, sich viel auf den "Deal" einzubilden.
