Russia warns NATO over European security (click on title. thank you.)

Russia warned NATO on Tuesday against unilateral policies that could destabilise security on the European continent, but agreed to keep talking on deep divisions between the former Cold War foes.

NATO chief Jaap de Hoop Scheffer held talks with President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on bitter disputes ranging from US plans for missile defence to Western backing for independence in Kosovo.

Does everyone realize how close we are to major engagement with Russia?
