US "Adjusting" the missile shield
The US will be eliminating adjusting the missile shield that had been planned for Eastern Europe.
The US believes that N. Korea is not planning on building long range missiles. Which is pretty much like saying that they think the Easter Bunny has no interest in larger chocolate eggs: a) we have not a damn clue what the Easter Bunny thinks (we cant even confirm basic information like whether it exists) and b) of course the Easter Bunny wants bigger and better eggs.
With that analogy out of the way, I would like to point out how this also pisses off some of our closest allies (Eastern Europe) in the vain hope of appeasing Russia. So we gave in to the demands of an aggressive dictatorship over the cries of aid from fledgling democracies in the name of stability and international friendship. Sound historically idiotic to anyone else?
Sure, Poland and the Czech Republic saw the missile shield mostly as a protection from the mother to the North, as it should have been. It also happened to protect all of Europe from N. Korean and Iranian missiles, which I dare say would have been a good thing, considering our current plan for preventing these two rouge states from gaining nuclear ICBMs is to ask them please to stop.
