Russia warns of military response to US defence shield in Czech Republic

James Sturcke and agencies guardian.co.uk, Tuesday July 8, 2008 Russia will be forced into a military response if the US pushes ahead with constructing a missile defence system in the Czech Republic, the Russian foreign ministry warned tonight.

The statement came within hours of US and Czech officials reaching initial agreement on putting a radar system in the eastern European country.

Russian officials have said a missile shield would severely undermine European security balances by weakening Russia's missile capacity.

If the agreement is ratified "we will be forced to react not with diplomatic but with military-technical methods", the ministry said, without giving specifics.



I thought Reagan won the Cold War?
