A step further

Yesterday Russian President Vladimir Putin said that his country would suspend compliance with a critical military treaty in reaction to American plans to install missile and radar bases in former Warsaw Pact countries. Today he goes further by calling the American weapons "not just a defence system [but]...part of the US nuclear weapons system" and suggested that they could cause "mutual damage and even destruction". I think it is fair to say that he is opposed.
