I don't understand your post.
I don't understand your post #10.

"This system will protect US, not Poland. There probably wouldn't be enough time to shoot down missiles launched from the middle east, which would be going to hit Europe."
How does a missile defense in Poland "protect US?" How is US protected if the missiles were launched at a European target?
I don't see Europe as the US' surrogate. Not anymore. Europe must take care of Europe. Where interests meet, so be it. If Europe asks for help the US should weigh the request.
