re: #551 McSpiff

Exactly. And that US installed and paid for infrastructure was well within range of Russian short range missiles that the system had absolutely (read: 0% kill chance) no chance of stopping. The Aegis system is proven, its mounted on a system we can actually defend (ships) and doesn’t tie us into Eastern European politics that can and often does change at the drop of a hat.

Damn straight. This whole “selling allies down the river” line is utter crap.
