Russian President Dmitry Medvedev talked tough in his first annual address to the federal assembly on Wednesday, the day after Democratic Senator Barack Obama won the US Presidential race.

Medvedev threatened to station new missiles in its western outpost of Kaliningrad if the US deploys an anti-missile system that Moscow says threatens its security.

He also laid blame at the US for the global economic crisis, and called for a radical reform of the international political and economic system.

"We need to create mechanisms that would block erroneous, egotistical and sometimes even dangerous decisions by some memebers of the global community," he said.
