Barack Obama confirmed the decision in a telephone conversation with the Czech prime minister, according to the country’s media.

Obama has not dropped the plans for the missile defense shield. He plans to put the same capability on US Naval ships that would be stationed near to Iran. This makes a lot more sense than putting the ABMs in Poland.
Common sense in foreign policy at last. This will save billions and do nthing to stop Iran.

This is a really positive development. The first indication that Obama’s foreign policy is not a duplicate of Bush’s.
This is in the best interest of Europe, not only Russia.
