PUTIN THREATENS TO TARGET THE US IF IT DEPLOYS MISSILES IN EUROPEAN NATIONS. PUTIN, AT HIS ANNUAL ADDRESS TO PARLIAMENT ON WEDNESDAY, SAID HIS COUNTRY WOULD NOT SEEK CONFRONTATION AND WOULD NOT TAKE THE FIRST STEP IN DEPLOYING MISSILES AFTER THE SUSPENSION OF THE INTERMEDIATE-RANGE NUCLEAR FORCES (INF) TREATY. HOWEVER, HE SAID RUSSIA WOULD RESPOND TO ANY DEPLOYMENT OF NEW INTERMEDIATE-RANGE MISSILES IN EUROPE BY TARGETING THE UNITED STATES ITSELF AND NOT JUST THE COUNTRIES WERE THEY WERE HELD, ACCORDING TO A REUTERS TRANSLATION. HE SAID HE WOULD FIELD NEW WEAPONS THAT WOULD TARGET U.S. DECISION-MAKING CENTERS.
