President Medvedev ordered missiles to be stationed up against Nato’s borders yesterday to counter American plans to build a missile defence shield.

Speaking within hours of Barack Obama’s election, Mr Medvedev announced that Russia would base Iskander missiles in its Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad – the former German city – next to the border with Poland.

He did not say whether the short-range missiles would carry nuclear warheads.

Taking advantage of the world’s attention on the US elections, Mr Medvedev also cancelled plans to withdraw three intercontinental ballistic missile regiments from western Russia by 2010.

Oh yay, fodder for the Obama haters.

This probably would of happened if McCain had been elected.

Good grief... the headline is a bit misleading to say the least. This has nothing to do with Obama. The Russians just timed this during the election so that it wouldn't make a media splash.

I for one hope Obama will stay strong and keep this missle defense program going. Russia is just trying to make themselves look big since China is slowly becoming a world power through its massive population and growing economy.

Probably. He's usually against the missile defense system so I can see him immediately ending the program. Then Russia goes to war with us and takes over Poland anyway.

Good on Russia. The US has been running wild with globalization/controlling the world for far too long. I doubt this or any other thing the russians do will make any difference though unfortunately.

Don't have such negative expectations of the future of the world. It's hard being the President, I suppose. What would you do if you were in their position? You'd have to think of practical things such as resources, not what people think about these things.

Was that directed towards me?

Yes. So let us allow Russia to do it now, instead.
