Putin issues sharp warning to US, vows to counter 'imperialism'

MOSCOW (AFP) - President Vladimir Putin fired an acerbic broadside Thursday at the United States, condemning "imperialism" in world affairs and blaming Washington for igniting a new "arms race" that Russia would not ignore.

Speaking to reporters after talks with Greek President Carolos Papoulias, Putin said new tensions had emerged in international relations in recent years "because the world changed and there was an attempt to make it unipolar" following the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

In diplomatic parlance of the last decade, "unipolar" refers to a world dominated by the United States.

"This is very dangerous and unhealthy... In our view it is nothing other than diktat, than imperialism."

Tensions between Russia and the United States have risen dramatically in the past year, amid sharpening differences over US plans to expand a missile defence shield into eastern Europe, the state of democracy in Russia and concerns over energy supplies.

Guess it didn't help to have a Russian expert as SOS afterall... not to mention a soul-reading "cowboy" as POTUS. :eyes:
