You’re totally and completely wrong. The interceptors in Poland are for the defense of the USA, not Europe. The ability to shoot down a missile flying over Poland is in US interests, not in Poland’s. The fact they are willing to have radioactive debris rained all over their country in order to protect the USA says a lot.

Well, with respect, I just disagree with your assertion. There is no logical reason why we would need to down a missile over Poland as opposed to downing it over the 5,000+ miles between Poland and the U.S. I think you know that.
