Vladimir Putin has been speaking out recently in regards to a ground-based missile defense system that has been installed by the United States in Romania. Putin claims that this will threaten his country and that he does not approve of these actions. He has also urged other nations involved in a new system of defense measures to take measures to limit US control in the area, specifically Poland which is set to have the same sort of technology placed at one of their military bases as well.
NATO, which is in charge of the installation, has assured Putin that the defense system is not capable of offensive movement and therefore not a threat to Russia. It is being set up as means of protection against states in the Middle East, like Iran. Putin remains nonetheless vigilant and says that he will retaliate if he feels that his country is being threatened by the NATO installations.
