Missile Defence

• Mixed response was seen by Europe because of Presidents Barack Obama's decision to end the plans for the missile defense system made in the Czech Republic and in Poland.

Barack Obama made the decision toterminate the U.S. missile defense made by Bush in Poland and the Czech Republic. The reaction of the Russians was positive, they said that they always thought this was an inappropriate way to deal with the issues in Iran.
Unfortunately the reaction wasn't the same with Poland and the Czechs, because they saw this as military force and as a bond with the U.S and NATO.
One of the reasons the U.S. made this was to lessen confrontations with Russia.
This is not the end of the missile defence on that areas, because its thought that they will focus more on bringing the missile defences to their full capabilities to be able to compete with new technological missiles.
