Revive plans for the European Interceptor Site (EIS) in Poland and Czech Republic due to Russia's move into Ukraine

Created by A.T. on March 03, 2014

Due to the naked aggression by Russian President Vladimir Putin and his government, and flimsy casus belli for intervention against a Ukrainian government in office for less than a week, the so-called 'reboot' of relations with the Russian Federation has failed. As such, pressure should be exerted additionally by a revival of the European Interceptor Site (EIS) of the Ballistic Missile Defense European Capability.

Its abandonment was supposed to 'reboot' relations between the United States and the Russian Federation after the latter's invasion of Georgia in 2008. As President Putin and his government have shown themselves still willing to invade their smaller neighbors, this is an additional way to demonstrate the consequences in addition to those economic and diplomatic.
