Has Obama Surrendered to Russia?

A news report today suggests that USA President Obama may have surrendered to Russian demands in a meeting last month:

Will Obama surrender to Russia over missile defence?

Nile Gardiner August 29th, 2009

Reports in the Polish media indicate that the Obama administration is about to abandon its plans for “third site” missile defence installations in Poland and the Czech Republic. If enacted, this would represent a huge turnaround in American strategic thinking on a global missile defence system, and a massive betrayal of two key US allies in eastern and central Europe. Such a move would significantly weaken America’s ability to combat the growing threat posed by Iran’s ballistic missile program, and would hand a major propaganda victory to the Russians.

This shift in US policy is intricately linked to a naïve deal struck between Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in July in Moscow, where the two leaders established a framework to reduce their nukes by a third over the next seven years. The deal, expected to be concluded in December, also significantly cuts both sides’ nuclear delivery systems, such as long range bombers, to create a more level playing field (the US currently has superiority in this area). The whole agreement works to the advantage of the Russians, with their declining strategic conventional weapons capability and aging and deteriorating nuclear weapons stockpile.

Obama has made progress towards a “nuclear free world” a centerpiece of his presidency, and is clearly willing to sacrifice US interests, including its allies in Europe, on the altar of political vanity. Moscow has made it abundantly clear that any steps towards nuclear disarmament have to involve the abandonment of missile defence installations in what Russia considers its own backyard – and that includes former Soviet satellites that are now members of the European Union.

If the Obama administration drops the planned third site installations (due to be deployed by 2013), it would represent an appalling surrender to Russian demands, and the shameful of appeasement of an increasingly aggressive regime that is openly flexing its muscle in an effort to intimidate ex-members of the Warsaw Pact. It would send a clear message to America’s allies in Europe that Moscow’s bullying will be tolerated and even tacitly encouraged. It also sends a dangerous signal that the United States is unlikely to stand up to Russian demands that Georgia and Ukraine be barred from becoming full members of the NATO alliance. http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/nilegardiner/100007890/will-obama-surrender-to-russia-over-missile-defence/

It is my limited understanding that the missiles for Poland and the Czech Republic were to protect against nuclear attack, hence not having them would not seem to decrease the risk of nuclear attack.

I have long suggested that shortly after 2012, many events will take place. And it now appears that the USA not having another defensive capability may be one more of them.
