MOSCOW. (RIA Novosti military commentator...
ICBMs plummets dramatically if the area of potential launching sites is large.When speaking about the reasons for Washington"s readiness to make concessions to Russia on a new START treaty, we should bear in mind a dissenting view that says Moscow should reciprocate by changing its stance on the Afghan war and the potential Iranian conflict.
The American politicians and public should thoroughly consider which is more important for the U.S., a new treaty or Russia"s assistance.
As for Russia, it has already decided that even a signed and ratified START treaty is not worth its involvement in a war. Therefore, the best achievement for Russian diplomats will be the signing of the treaty against the promise of "moral support" to the United States in armed conflicts and more practical assistance in the form of transit corridors.
