if we had the ability to make ourselves invulnerable to ballistic missiles, it would mean that nukes once again become a viable weapon that doesn't see a threat of symetric retalliation....meaning, if we had a functional and relaible missile shield, we could strong arm everyone because we could nuke without being nuked back....this is an advantage, I think that we shouldn't sacrifice for principle...or god....or anything else....this was national defense in purest terms....

Tags: U.S. missile shield, Poland



























The White House will shelve Bush administration plans to build a
missile-defense system in Poland and the Czech Republic, the Wall
Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing current and former U.S.
officials.
The decision, likely to help ease tensions with Russia which has
opposed the missile shield plans, will be based on a U.S.
"determination that Iran's long-range missile program has not
progressed as rapidly as previously estimated, reducing the threat to
the continental U.S. and major European capitals," the paper said.
In March, United States President Barack Obama dismissed as
inaccurate a New York Times report claiming he had offered to scrap the
plans if Russia works to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

"The New York Times didn't accurately characterize the letter," Obama
said following that report. "What I said in the letter [To Russian
President Medvedev] is the same thing that I've said publicly, which is
that the missile defense that we have talked about deploying is
directed towards not Russia, but Iran."
Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice last year called
Russia's negative reaction to the U.S.-Polish missile shield agreement
"borders on the bizarre," but denied Washington wanted a confrontation
with Moscow.
Since the end of the Cold War, the West had tried to encourage
closer cooperation, including on such issues as the Middle East,
nuclear non-proliferation and the Iranian nuclear program, Rice said.

Happy now? Headline is that the US does cancel the ABMShield because they helieve that Iran is years behind in their program to build ICBM`s.

There are a lot of interesting things going on now with the whole Anti-Missile shield thing for Europe. If they do decided to pull the ground based interceptors we've been considering for Poland, and other places, no biggie. We have some other toys that may work just as well there. Waiting for source for latest rumor.

We were discussing in another thread the moments Russia and the US had come close to nuclear war, which sometimes involved the launch of a single missile that spooked the other side. With a small scale missile defense capability, that single missile is no longer a cause for WWIII. I guess it will be now!

Okay, sorry about calling BS, but walking away from the European based silo field and radar isn't the same thing as canceling national missile defense, on the contrary, sea based NMD is moving forward along with expanding the GBI fleet. The topic headline is misleading.

And they can almost hit Japan now!  Better break out the bomb shelters...

Forgive my rusty German, but isn't this about an anti missile shield in europe?  Does it protect us from those hypothetical nukes that NK may have that they can put on a missile that might maybe make it to the sea of Japan?  Maybe I'm just out of the loop, but please direct me to a source that suggests that North Korea is anywhere close to hitting us with anything that can get intercepted by the system that the OP is saying will be shut down/canceled.

There's a lot of potential money to be made (by selling to our Allies) with THAAD, Patriot-Whatever the latest version is, and a proposed ground based SM-3 system. Integrate those systems, scattered around Europe, connected to our version of SKYNET, heheh, and there you go. There are some other systems they are considering "Connecting" together, like the ARROW system, but, Europe is not totally doomed if we do pull the plug on the Ground Based system. I try to be a little more accurate with my descriptions of our latest and greatest, but it's late, and I don't have the last few months of Aviation Week and Space Technology memorized - They really did a good job of covering this scenario a month or two back.   Nite..................................

There are no GBI's or US radars for ballistic missile defense in Europe because we haven't put them there yet - hell, the holes aren't even dug yet, much less silo/SIVs installed.

This is no surprise to us on the program, I knew this was going to happen eventually since Nov. 5th.
