“Missile Defense Plans Face New Hurdles”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “(CNSNews.com) - Kicking off a series of diplomatic initiatives that could decide the fate of the Pentagon’s vision for ballistic missile defense (BMD) in Europe, Poland’s new prime minister will visit the Czech Republic this week to discuss the plan.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s visit to Prague comes shortly after his foreign minister, Radoslaw Sikorski, raised misgivings about the U.S. proposal, which would see 10 missile interceptors deployed in Poland and an associated radar installation in the Czech Republic.
Sikorski said in a weekend interview with Poland’s Gazeta Wyborcza newspaper that the government, which came into office following elections last October, wanted clarity on the risks and benefits of going ahead with the project.
“We feel no threat from Iran,” he said.
The U.S. says the BMD shield, which entails missiles being fired to intercept and destroy enemy missiles outside of the atmosphere, will help to defend Europe and North America against possible future threats from such countries as Iran.
Russia, an ally of Tehran, is vigorously opposed to the move, which is sees as an American attempt to undermine its nuclear deterrent and reduce its influence in a region formerly under Soviet domination.”
