I think this idea of a missile shield in Eastern Europe was a bad one from the start to be honest. It was bound to upset Russia who still regards the area as being under its 'sphere of influence'.

I think at the moment its better to keep Russia on the US side. Having the anti-ballistic missiles on ships and on US soil is a better idea. Although what I don't understand with Russia is why they should feel threatened by a very limited 'shield'.

They have hundreds of missiles still, and this defence shield would make a minimum impact on their arsenal - it is aimed at Iran, North Korea and other smaller countries. I also think its a bit hypocritical when Russia still has the anti-ballistic system around Moscow - the Gazelles and Gorgons plus it is expanding its S400 bases as well as developing S500 - which are rumoured to have REAL anti-ballistic capability.

Which is a silly notion. Most of Eastern Europe doesn't considered itself under the sphere of influence of Russia and consider themselves more aligned to the west.
