Of course, it is often that of a rise in verbal. But it cannot be taken lightly. As the tension between the two powers has never been as strong for ten years.
After the war in Georgia of this summer, Moscow has responded to the recognition of the independence of Kosovo by Washington and most of its allies by one of the two enclaves of South Ossetia and Abkhazia Georgian, then threatened to deploy missiles Iskander (SS-26 in NATO parlance) in the enclave of Kaliningrad, the former Königsberg, located between two member countries of the Union Europeanthe Poland and the Lithuania. This new Russian threat is also a response to American action, the extension project in Poland and in the Czech Republic the American anti-missile shield assumed face from 2012 to ballistic missiles that could be derived from a "rogue" in the Middle East State. That is, from the Iran, which could be achieved, fears Washington, by 2015.
Russian threat also has another goal, even if President Dimitri Medvedev was is defended in the outcome of the Washington G20: to warn the next American President who takes office January 20, 2009, to Russia's desire to do what is perceived in Moscow, wrongly or rightly, as a kind of encirclement of the Federation by AmericaCaucasus in Europe, and as a new arms race. It is not fortuitous that the Russian President chose November 5, the day after the Barack Obama election to the Presidency, to discuss the threat. Before the Council on Foreign Relations, Saturday in Washington, Dimitri Medvedev has nevertheless stated that, "despite his respect for the United States, he had totally forgotten important political event" that was the American election.Option zero "the Russia will do nothing if the next American administration does nothing" immediately suggested that Washington is to prove that the Russia was not "forgot" this historic event in the United States.
The world is obviously quite different from that of the time of the Soviet October 1962 Cuban missile crisis triggered by Nikita Khrushchev in the America's Kennedy. But the arms of iron, is also of mutual incomprehension, as reiterated it Medvedev in Washington, is worrying. Because, precisely, the two powers were struggling to find a reciprocal balance in this post-cold war world.
The American project of shield, as a new "Star Wars", and the Russian response would almost forget the real issue: that of the security architecture in Europe where the nuclear presence of the United States, legacy of the cold war, visibly continues to irritate the Russians.
In this new world, the Russia has the impression of growing of should not be treated as an equal by the United States and feared there also wrongly or rightly that the new project of "war stars" in Europe would only widen the gap between it and the United States. In the Middle, the Europeans remain divided and undecided. Traditional allies in Europe, Germany and France in mind, were approved by the end of the lips, and even at the last minute at the Summit in April of the Atlantic Alliance in Bucharest, the American project, supported by hand by the new members of the Union European, who are precisely the former satellites of the former USSR.
One of the first tasks of the future President Obama will thus be to discuss with the Medvedev-Putin of a new architecture also duo in Europe. The denunciation of unilateral in 2002 by President Bush of the ABM, concluded in 1972 by Brezhnev and Nixon, anti-balistique Treaty then that in 2007 by the Russia of the conventional forces in Europe, an another key cornerstone of security in Europe, leaving a dangerous vacuum which requires Russians and Americans to find the new path of dialogue. Even if the Russia does not, again as Bush and Putin have had believed in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, a partner. The other essential task for the next occupant of the White House will be to determine if the war of tomorrow will take place in stars with a constituted power or in the mountains of a country without State.
