USA threatens with anti-missile rockets in Lithuania
8 May 2008 | 17:33 | RBK Daily
Today in Warsaw, new Poland-American negotiations on the issue of
disposing elements from the USA anti-missile system on the territory
of Poland have started.
Poland, demanding from USA to release funds for the modernization of
states' armed forces, declared that the sum of $ 20 million, offered
by USA is offensive. Americans, by other party, threatened to stop
disposition of anti-missile rockets on the area of Poland and to
transfer them to Lithuania. At the beginning of negotiations, which
delayed for almost a month, both parties showed mutual irritation.
"Poland should not feel as "USA client', considering the matter of
anti-missile rockets' disposition," vice-president and minister of
Internal Affairs emphasized. Opposition will state its opinion later.
Warsaw considers that USA has not accomplished the obligations it has
undertaken for supporting Poland in its armed forces modernization, in
exchange to gaining Polish country's agreement for disposing
anti-missile rockets on the area of Poland. Data have showed that
Poland has been expecting material support of $14 to $20 billion,
while USA has offered only $20 million.
"The real sum would be somewhere in the middle of the both countries'
offers, Alexander Hramchihin, from the Institute of Political and
Military Analysis in Moscow, considers. "Poland should modernize its
system for anti-missile and first it should equipped by Patriot
rockets," he emphasizes. The anti-missile rocket system is necessary
for the anti-missile rocket's complex protection, in case the
hypothetical rocket attack transfers into a target of a first strike.
"USA is interested in disposition of modern anti-missile rockets on
the territory of Poland," Hramchihin explained. "There will be of USA
interest if contemporary anti-missile rockets are situated on area of
Poland, in order to take up the first strike, if it is necessary.
Neither Pentagon, nor Bush's administration would succeed to insure 1
billion dollars, which Poland needs to its Patriot rockets' equipping.
Warsaw realizes that if the new USA president is a democrat, the
project for anti-missile rockets disposition in Eastern Europe will be
canceled. That is why Poland does not hide that it is interested in
obtaining real help fro USA, as soon as possible. The irritation comes
from the information, released in medias before the beginning of
negotiations that USA can find another country for disposing its
anti-missile rockets. This is probably Lithuania.
Alexei Vlasov, deputy director of the Centre for examination of public
political processes of the post-Soviet Union time in Poland, considers
that negotiations between USA and Lithuania have already begun. He
thinks that the negotiations with Lithuania purpose to make Poland
drawing back from its firm position. "Disposition of anti-missile
rockets on the territory of ex-Soviet Union's republic would mean
definite break in relationships with Russia. USA will not make this
step," Vlasov thinks.
