BUSH'S MISSILE "DEFENSE"SYSTEM IN POLAND CAUSES RUSSIA TO RE-BUILD ITS NUCLEAR ARSENAL

One of the predictable fall-outs from Bush's rush to set up a missile defense system in The Czech Republic and Poland came today when Russia announced it was going to beef up its nuclear deterrent system.

The BBC reports:

"The announcement comes just weeks after Russia accused the US of starting a new arms race by siting part of its missile defence shield in Poland.

""We must guarantee nuclear deterrence under various political and military conditions by 2020," Mr Medvedev told military commanders.

"He said it was necessary to build "new types of armaments" and to "achieve dominance in airspace", according to quotes carried by the Itar-Tass news agency."

So because of George Bush and his incompetent foreign policy, the whole world faces another nuclear build-up.

Can Iran be faulted if it too wants nuclear weapons as deterrents to U.S. hegemony?
