[quote=KATRINA,237174]In January, US held several talks with Poland and Czech and finally made an agreement. According to US department of defense's plan, US will invest about 3 to 5 billion US dollars to build her anti-missile system military base in Poland and radar and other supporting system in Czech. Bush said that the purpose was to avoid Iran and other nations' missile attacks and offer security condition for his allied nations.

However, his counterpart Russia would not  think so. The anti-missile system is a great menace for Russia and seriously affect Russia's national security. On April 23th, the defense ministers of Russia and US held a talk. US hoped that Russia could participate in Eastern Europe anti-missile plan. Howver, Russia refused and said that the anti-missile system affect regional and gloabal security. On June 15th, Russia reiterated that US should  freeze development of its planned missile shield in eastern Europe and its missile defense talks with the Czech Republic and Poland. He warned that if Washington goes ahead with its planned missile shield, it would break the strategic balance of power in Europe and Russia would have to find a way to restore it.

On the Russia-US relationship, he said that it is "definitely not living through its golden age. But I wouldn't agree we're living through the worst since the Cold War."

It seems that the relationship between Russia and US becomes tense. How do you think of the relationship, Cold Peace or New Cold war?
