Executive summary
Article Abstract:
It is possible that there will be significant difficulties with relations between the US and Russia as a result of US ballistic missile defense initiatives, fuelled by the threat of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The US has responded to the acquisition or planned acquisition by a considerable number of countries of chemical, nuclear and biological weapons by developing a policy of counterproliferation, including some ballistic missile defense initiatives. In contrast, Russia does not believe that there is an imminent proliferation threat and feels that its existing ballistic missile defense capabilities are sufficient.
