They aren't offensive weapons systems. They are strictly defensive missile shields. To prevent attack, prevent a rogue launch, or mulitiple other scenarios. They have no offensive capabilities.

You should be asking not why are we helping Western Europe install this shield, they have a right to be prepared defensively for any scenario, but why are the Russians so adimant it isn't put in that they are willing to threaten the countries that have them put in, along with the US.

This ... so called ... shield ... it's... like.... bullet-proof stuff, like Obama had around the stage in Chicago, right? Or, like, panty shields, that just sit there and look pretty but don't do anything until needed, right?

Since the Bloomburg article doesn't explain this, can someone produce one that does give details of what this shield will be made of?
