Russia will not deploy missiles in its European enclave of Kaliningrad if US president-elect Barack Obama cancels the planned American anti-missile defence system, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said in an interview published Thursday in the French daily Le Figaro.

"We are prepared to drop our decision to deploy missiles at Kaliningrad if the new American administration decides to abandon its anti-missile system," Medvedev said.

He noted that, based on early reactions, Obama was "thinking about it."

In a response to the US anti-missile defence system, Medvedev has threatened to deploy short-range Iskander missiles in Kaliningrad.

The Russian president said Moscow was willing to consider "a global defence system with the United States, the EU nations and the Russian Federation."

1. Obama can end the new cold war before even in office

2. "a global defence system with the United States, the EU nations and the Russian Federation."

This is what is in the best interest of the world..Except China needs to be a part as well.

3. The new Russia could be a great new partner with the U.S.

if we didn't have so many dinosaurs entrenched in our government. Cheney and his buddies have been milking that old cold war for all it's worth just to line their own pockets. It's time to prosecute the bastards.

4. Obama is smart enough not to commit to anything prior to him being sworn in.

it's treading a very clever path.
