Read my lips -- it's a missle DEFENSE plan. And Russia is complaining because we want to DEFEND AGAINST a Russian missle attack, or an attack from anywhere else for that matter ??? Give it up Putin.
You cannot separate offensive part from the defensive one. Why? The country which builds the successful anti-missile system will acquire the first strike capability.
That's exactly what they're complaining about. In so doing, we are violating their sacred, historic right to threaten and bully their neighbors.
