And we deploy these missiles where? in Turkey? In France?

The Czech Republic also agreed to station the missiles there. The main purpose was to protect Europe. If no one wants them, then what is our responsibility? Obama is the one who abrogated the agreements we had with Poland and the Czech Republic to station the missiles.

Retire the Triad. Israel and Poland have been very cost effective allies.

What does the Triad have to do with stationing anti-ballistic missiles in Europe? We will still have nuclear subs, land based ICBMs, and aircraft capable of lauching nuclear weapons.

What is the metric you use to measure cost effective allies? FYI: We have no mutual defense treaty with Israel.

Cost effective is land based missiles near our enemy.

Reagan had intermediate missiles in the1980s in Europe. Should be self -evident.

Trump does not know what the Triad is, apropos to this conversation. Maybe we just throw out the triad and spend no money on major weapon systems.

Who needs the Triad?
