Sure Mister, I will let you kick me in the backside, if it hurts, you win…

Russia needs to develop “offensive strike systems” to preserve strategic balance with the United States, without producing its own missile defense, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said Tuesday.

“If we want to retain the balance, we have to establish an exchange of information: Let the U.S. partners provide us information on [their] missile defense while we will give them information on [our] offensive weapons,” Putin said.

Uh huh….yeah, that sounds like a good deal to me!

Then there’s this:

“Since we are not developing [our own] missile defense, there is a threat that our [U.S.] partners would feel totally secure having created an umbrella against our offensive systems,” he added. “Then our partners might do whatever they want; the aggressiveness in real politics and economics would increase because of the broken balance.”

Right….

The poor, poor Soviets….errr….I mean, Russians….
