http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/11/politics/nato-missile-defense-romania-poland/index.html The U.S. launched a new ground-based missile defense system in Romania Thursday, sparking fresh tensions with Russia, which quickly blasted the system as a threat to its security. The system, to be operated by NATO, is getting up and running nearly a decade after the U.S. first announced plans to do so, only to encounter pushback from Russia. The U.S. has long insisted that the shield is directed against rogue states like Iran and not intended to target Moscow's missiles, but Russian officials have slammed the move as an "attempt to destroy the strategic balance" in Europe. |

Our system could stop an Iranian missile attack...The Russians don't want to admit it can't stop a Russian attack...................

Of course they don't. This shield can neuter their nukes and they are not happy. Perhaps President Trump will deploy THAAD in S. Korea just to keep the China in check. |

No it won't, it can only stop a few missiles, not a thousand that they have. |
