Russia and the United States. Continuation of the Cold War?

The problem of protection from missile attack came after the German attack missiles "FAA" in London in 1944. After consideration of the possible methods of defense against attack missiles, the real way to protect the use of missiles was recognized. Current opinion believed that the creation of any nuclear power system of effective missile defense gave her the opportunity to hatch plans to destroy the enemy with impunity. Therefore, simultaneously with the deployment of missile defense negotiations were conducted on the limitation of cover that would be a deterrent against nuclear attack from any side. Although developments in the field of defense served as a catalyst in the development of scientific and technical capacity of countries, but also lay a heavy burden on their economies. At all stages of the negotiations between the leaders of U.S. and Soviet first, and then Russian leaders on reducing missile defense mistrust prevented the development of a mutually acceptable position. Distrust was caused by the following considerations: - The Russian side was constantly in catch-up role in the development of missile defense facilities (remember President Reagan's proposal for a program of "Star Wars"); - Constant combat readiness of the missile arsenals of both countries in the regime of counter-retaliation - this leads to the need to maintain a balance between the defensive system and the strategic nuclear forces of each party; - The U.S. believes that Russia is the only country that has an arsenal capable of destroying America; - When discussing the joint development of missile defense systems, the U.S. requires that the management of this single system has been transferred to it, that does not suit Russia. Plans to deploy missile defense systems in Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Israel, Turkey and Czech Republic are part of the new U.S. strategy to establish the closest to Russia's borders tier missile defense system that violates the existing strategic balance of forces. In order to implement this strategy, the United States at a meeting of defense ministers of NATO decided to deploy four warships at a military base in Spain, which will be an integral part of U.S. missile defense system in Europe. This means that Madrid is also attached to the missile defense system. Cruisers are equipped not only radars, interceptor missiles and SM-3, control systems, "Aegis." This system not only controls the anti-aircraft fire, and anti-submarine rockets and shock. Upgrading the system will intercept ballistic missile warheads. This confirms the fact that any one of these cruisers easily rearranged under subject of missile defense. Operate these floating object missile defense system will be in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, the Greenland, Barents and Norwegian Seas and the North Atlantic. From all this we can conclude that the goal of deploying a missile defense system in Spain - is coverage of Russian territory, the military-technical means of the U.S. missile defense. And while American president, Barack Obama argues that the placement of additional equipment missile defense in Europe due to the threat of attack by countries such as Iran, the Russian side claims that the circuit arrangement of missile defense facilities around the Russian border poses a security risk is Russia. Capacity-building in Europe missile and a lack of being directed against a missile defense system formed by the Russian strategic forces is justified concern in Moscow. When deploying a missile defense system in Europe, the U.S. uses so-called strategy of "fait accompli" when the action is without taking into account the views of interested parties. Such a practice violates the stability and security of all European countries. If you continue to strengthen the U.S. missile defense in third countries, the ability to move from confrontation to cooperation will be missed, and Russia will be forced to take counter-measures to protect its nuclear forces, strategic purpose. The U.S. confirm the continuation of the "cold war" against Russia. In this connection, the purchase of weapons to equip the Russian army in NATO - it's like, what to buy weapons from the enemy, fighting with them. It is surprising action by the Ministry of Defense procurement of foreign weapons, then how to invest in its military-industrial complex to protect the country from external threats. In response, Russia needs to increase the combat potential of groups to the Navy in the Mediterranean and Black Seas, the shock of whose components are able to destroy foreign ships missile defense system, deployed off the coast of Russia. To do this, to upgrade the cruise ended and increase the combat readiness of katernogo composition, especially of small missile ships, repair and re-equip the destroyers. Abandon the purchase of French ships of the "Mistral". At the conclusion of military experts, the ships of the "Mistral" is applied only when the seizure of foreign territories, and for the defense they are not needed. Required to increase the efficiency of the military budget at the expense of supporting the Russian military-industrial complex and the rejection of foreign purchases of military equipment, including the purchase of four ships of the "Mistral". Although the agreements the two ships of the "Mistral" will be built at Russian shipyards, all of the "filling" of these ships will be delivered from France. Failure of any node in the period of operation (and possibly under combat conditions) of this sophisticated equipment, no Russian expert will not be able to return to it serviceability. A successful attempt to create an effective missile defense system the United States can create an illusion of invulnerability, and under certain conditions, to push the human tragedy - the use of nuclear weapons.
