Russia is actually much closer to developing an effective
anti-ballistic missile defense system than the United States. Russia's
latest S-400 surface-to-air missile system is currently in its final
stage of testing and is due to enter service in 2001-2002. The S-400
is the only SAM system in the world that has been designed from the
very start with anti-ballistic missile capability in mind. Development
of such systems became possible following the 1997 correction to the
1972 ABM treaty accepted by the US and Russia during negotiations in
New York. The correction made a more accurate distinction between
strategic and non-strategic ABM defenses. While the S-400, its
predecessor - the S-300 and its anti-ballistic adaptation designated
"Antey" - are unmatched by any other long-range SAM system in the
world, there is already the S-500 in the final stages of development.
Successful export of S-300 systems made Russian SAM manufacturers
highly productive and competitive. In addition, when the ABM treaty
was modified to allow only one ABM system for each the USSR and
America, the USSR deployed a limited ABM system to protect its
capital, Moscow.

Americans really need to build an ABM defense system, Mother Russia
can vaporize any country with her 1960s technology:

"It is just that I am of the opinion, that Europe will consolidate its
reputation as a powerful and truly independent center of world
politics, firmly and for the long term, if it can join its own
capabilities with Russia's possibilities--with the human, territorial
and natural resources, and the economic, cultural and DEFENSE
potential of Russia."
(President Vladimir Putin in his address to the German Reichstag)

After reading the declaration of Tsar Vladimir, I can only think that
every piece of the puzzle is coming to the right place for the end of
NATO, and the birth of http://www.imperium-europa.org/
