Bush placed missile shields or at least had those plans on the table for the Eastern bloc countries. Obama cancelled all the plans, now that he sees he has reduced American power to mush, he's trying to flex a bit of muscle???

The placing of a missile defense can be seen as an OFFENSIVE move. For if I have a better missile defense than you do, I might be more likely to start a conflict, knowing that I can easily absorb your counter-punches.

Bush or Obama...it doesn't matter...I see an overreach here.

Actually the plans continued. There is the land base in Romania that is just coming on line. And the U.S. has forward deployed four destroyers to Rota, Spain. All four are capable of downing ballistic missiles. So the missile shield is pretty much there.
