Minister: Russia won't deploy missiles near Poland
Edited on Sat Sep-19-09 08:27 AM by lib2DaBone
MOSCOW – Russia will scrap a plan to deploy missiles near Poland because the U.S. no longer wants to place a missile-defense system in Eastern Europe, a Russian deputy defense minister said Saturday.

Vladimir Popovkin told Ekho Moskvy radio that Obama's move has made the deployment of Iskander short-range missiles in the Kaliningrad region unnecessary.

"Reason has prevailed over ambitions," Popovkin said. "Naturally, we will cancel countermeasures which Russia has planned in response."

Message to John Boehner and Neocons: "Isn't that funny how that works? You quit invading countries and they leave you alone...amazing."
