43 U.S. Republican senators informed U.S. President Barack Obama in a letter they would resist any attempt to limit U.S. missile defense capabilities. But the problem is not these senators. No matter if they can prevent or accept Obama to limit missile defense capabilities, this progress shows it can not be a way to convince an American leader for Russia. Russia HAVE TO solve the problem itself by developing a revolutionary new technologies and cutting-edge concepts in it's defence arsenal. For now Russian missles including nuclear ones are just the only fuse of it's and even world's security. Russia has mostly out of date and ineffective very old Soviet weaponry and they are far from to counterbalance American power. There is already an asymmetric balance of military powers enough in the world even though with Russian ICBMs in use. U.S. missile defense system will make them out of use and spoil all the balance. It can be dangerous not only for Russia but also for the World and even the USA itself. Theoretically a future American president may feel himself as the sovereign king of the World and may try to rule the World like Hitler tried. Even now there are dangerous signs at World security. Notice please, more wars and riots appeared after Soviet Union's collapse. The World became a less secure planet with single pole. During the 6 day Russian-Georgian war over S.Ossetia in 2008 my wife got very upset and told me "I know some Georgians. My best friend was a Georgian girl in the first school. They were good people, There was no hostility, we grown up together as Soviet children. I can not beleive what happened to us?"



Any good-faith promises by an American president may be invalid by the new president just few years later. The next president may chance the decision and it means a possible guarranty Russia takes is limited for the current presidents term. If one of these senators in the news could be the next American president, do you think he would continue Obama's promises on the subject?

Shocking opinion of a possible U.S. president candidate: Russia is the United States' “number one geopolitical foe.”

Russia needs ICBM umbrella till it will have modern, effective, strong conventional waepons arsenal good enough as quality and quantity. Not only to be protected from USA but also other threat-capable recent developing military powers like China, India, N.Korea, Israel, Iran and Turkey.

No Limitations on U.S. Missile Defense: Envoy (Interview)

The United States will accept no limits on its missile defense plans but will work with Russia in the coming years to assuage Moscow’s concerns over the project, according to U.S. Ambassador Michael McFaul in an interview with RIA Novosti.

And Sergei Lavrov's reaction:

“Yesterday our colleague – the U.S. ambassador - made a very arrogant statement that there will be no changes on the missile defense system, but as an ambassador he should understand that interests of the other state should also be taken into account,”
