Political Quotes

“This unilateral action in setting the dividing line between short-range and long-range missiles, which has been subject of the negotiations, suddenly is yanked out from those negotiations, the U.S. Senate usurps this and puts into American law what it believes the demarcation line is and prohibits the President from negotiating any other demarcation line. At the same time, we establish the policy of the United States to deploy a system which clearly violates the ABM Treaty. Doing those things will play into the hands of the most rabid, anti-Western political forces in Russia. We are going to pay a terrible price, not just in having more weapons face our States, we are also going to pay a terrible price in terms of lending unwitting support to the very anti-Western forces in Russia which are creating so much difficulty already, not just for Russia, but for the rest of the world.”
