Eastern Europe: USA ditching missile defense.

Tulsa Saint...I agree with your points and I try my best to remain apolitical but I just wanted to clear something up. The system can easily be redirected at Russia. More than that it also has dual use capability which is what I think troubles the Russians. It really doesn't matter though because it could never do what it is designed to do against the Russians really it was designed for rogue nations or non-nations trying to threaten Europe. Whatever the reason behind the decision to shelve the project was, I think it was the correct decision. I am just curious to see what they will in turn spend the funding on. I would hope they would save it but that won't happen.
