Question

Why do we need a missile defense in poland when korea and iran are so far away?

Answer 1

Trust me when I say, as far as missiles go, we've got Iran and North Korea covered.

Answer 2

You don’t hit the incoming missiles right before they hit. They are targeted outside the atmosphere. There not in Poland to protect Poland from Iran or North Korea; they are there to protect Europe and US interests in Europe from Iran and North Korea.

Actually, the ‘defense shield’ succeeds in shooting down about 60% of incoming missiles when it knows EXACTLY where they are coming from and EXACTLY where they are going… two variables that will be fluid and difficult to predict in the event of an ACTUAL missile strike…

So what the ‘defense shield’ ACTUALLY does is look silly, enrich alot of defense contractors and p**s off the Russians.

Answer 3

Ummm, because along with protecting our own country (we have missile defense stations all around the U.S.) we are committed to providing protection to our allies, which includes most of Europe?

Answer 4

So we can control missile action. Don't let them fool you with this defense riff raff. If Russia were to attack Iran after this shield was in place, as an example, we wouldn't stop those bombs, but if they went for Israel, then we would. Now see... It's not just for Iran and North Korea... Russia knows this. We'd use it where we had to.

It's just an attempt to control more of the world. Simple..

Answer 5

We have allies and US military personell all throughout europe and the middle east.  assets need to be protected.

Answer 6

We don't need a missile defense in Poland. NATO needs a missile defense in Poland.

Answer 7

The world is a big scary place. The Russians just showed the world how unpredictable it can be. We also have missiles pointed at Iran and North Korea.
