NATO via the US had completed an Aegis anti-missile shield based in Romania.  The shield includes 24 Aegis SM-3 similar to those used by the US Navy.

The system is mainly to deter Iran.  However, considering the instability of Pakistan, I'd include it, as well.

Russia complains about the shield.  However, the small number of the missiles combined with the location, is hardly aimed at the Russian ICBMs, which if aimed at the US would come over the north pole.  Or, if at Europe, thru Poland and Germany.

 

TRUTH -- THE NEW HATE SPEECH!

Russia and China are working on ways to circumvent our shields but in the mean time, as I understand it, they are just determined to bypass it by just overwhelming it with multitudes of missiles if it comes to that.  Instead of firing one, where one would do, they will fire an overwhelming amount such that the anti-missile defenses would be overwhelmed and thus made ineffective.  At least until they can come up with a counter to our anti-missile defense system.  

Same old game as one gets smarter the other finds ways around it.  Radar gets smarter and thus cops find ways to false the radar or make it ineffective.  Locks get smarter and thieves find ways around them.  Maybe that's not a good analogy but hopefully it gets my point across.  I still think that we need the anti-missile defense.

My concerns is when you are too weak or ineffective then others get the impression that maybe they can strike you without you striking them back or being willing to.  or  When someone feels that they have an overwhelming advantage over someone else they might be tempted to take advantage of that to strike while they have the great advantage which is also dangerous to peace.

About the only thing you can rely upon is that there will be more strife and wars in the world ahead and as technology changes even deadlier ways to eliminate still greater numbers of people.  Russia now being rumored to have a "nation killer" weapon that not only kills and eliminates cities but whole areas of the Country if not the whole country.  IF that's true then all it takes is just ONE getting through to put everyone back in the stone age and set up a world that no one really wants to see.

Could be one reason each President ages so fast in office is they actually are made aware of just how fragile the worlds peace is and just how thin the line is between the world we know and a world that would be in the stone age where people resort back to the most primeval ways for survival.  Something for sure ages these people, in power, and could be the knowledge that most of us don't have to know what real threats are out there and knowing that there are some crazy fools, like that guy in North Korea, or IRAN that's willing to use them if they ever get access to them or knowing that life could change for us all in the span of any 15 minute period, while everyone else gets to go around worrying about which bathroom to use. 

The shield in Romania can't be effective against any missiles except those coming from the middle east or nearby areas.  The shield in Alaska has about seven or eight missles, plus the one missle at Vandenberg AFB in California.  Those would easily be overwhelmed by an attack from China or Russia.  Russia's missiles would come over the north pole, China's from the west over the north Pacific.

Russia's new Satan 2 has nothing they didn't have during the cold war.
