As a response to Washington Moscow may offer Minsk to place missiles on its territory
As a response to Washington's intention to place missiles and radar in Poland and Czech Republic, Russia may propose President Lukashenko to place short and long range missiles in Byelorussia. However, formally those missiles will not belong to Russian but Byelorussia, Director of the Institute for Globalization Studies Mikhail Delyagin stated. "Lukashenko will agree on it with great pleasure, but it is necessary first to normalize relations with Byelorussia, which are still vary bad. I don't think that Lukashenko denied Veshnyakov's candidacy for the CIS Executive in vain," he underlined.

M. Delyagin thinks that the United States will not allow Iran to build its own air defense system. "I do not believe that America will allow the Iranians to get nuclear weapon. Judging from the current situation, already next summer Iran will have an atomic bomb. And testing will be carried with maximum cynicism, before presidential elections in the USA. It will be a surface test in order to break the treaty. CNN will be allowed to shoot the test for producing maximum psychological effect in the West. The logic of events makes Americans to strike Iran. A one-day, painful strike, after which not only two military bases will be destroyed and the nuclear program will be thrown back for 5 years, but also Iran's whole administrative system will receive such a blow that there will be no time for missiles," the Russian political scientist thinks, "Trend" reports.
