>> Clearly, Russia wants Eastern Europe to have no defense from Iranian missiles.

The system is sold as one needed to counter Iran and other would be rogues. In fact it’s real purpose is obviously to contain Russia and China who have the real potential.

The system is global, not limited to Europe and her hinterland.

Total garbage.

The major powers are constrained by the thousands of nukes deployed to project the Mutual Assured Destruction policy, aka “MAD.”

This shield is intended to stop Iran from threatening Europe, period.

If you do not see that, then I question your acumen or your honesty.
