The European missile defense system will provide no useful capabilities for defending either the continental United States or Europe against ballistic missile attack.
That's what the East-West Institute, a non-partisan, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with offices in New York, Brussels and Moscow concluded in a new study (pdf) released yesterday.
The U.S. clearly needs now to abandon its misguided European missile defense system which won't work against Iran, the supposed target, but which alienates Russia, the formidable former enemy with which the country is supposedly trying to 'Reset' relations.
