I think this missile system is definitely a good thing. Russia's rhetoric is laughable for its disconnect from reality. They act as if it's an offensive system. Not only that, but Russia has still proven itself a threat to NATO. Also, does Russia not comprehend the overwhelming conventional warfare power the US has?
I would also very much like to see Ukraine in NATO. In my opinion, the US should focus more on their relationship with Poland and less on some more "traditional" US allies.
mk one conventional warfare power of the US,MOAB.
I don't want to speak for whole Polish society or other Polish forum members but I can say what I think.
Generally I think it's good that Poland took part in this venture, because I doubt that this system will be ever used and Poland can gain something form this. What exactly the future will show, but I belive that stornger relations with the USA are a good thing, though I also think that Poland should have equally good relations with the EU and USA.
But I have doubts also, will Poland gain anything? I'm concerned that the situation with the offset for the F-16s can occure once more time. I know that there's still time for realisation of the offset deal but there are problems with it. What I mean is the USA will have same motivation to complete other terms of the deal than only building the system itself?
Another thing is what if Obama will win? Will the system will be build then? If not what will happen to the deal?
About the Polish-Russian realations, I think that this relations on high level (governemts) are so bad that it's hard to make them worse, but the relations on low level (between people, companies) are quite good and anti-missle system won't make them worse.

fly boy you are an idiot! Do you not know how to read! The very first post says that the poll is only for citizens of the Czech Republic and Poland!
Yet somehow you managed to vote in it too?
And if so, I hope the result for our country won´t be the same as after Munich´s dictat in 1938 when Great Britain, France and Soviet Union threw us over the board to Hitler...
What'd he say ?

I dont think the USSR was among those who signed the Munich Treaty in 1938. It was actually decided between Great Brirain, France and the Nazi Germany. The Soviets in fact condemned the annexation postfactum. And later, in 1945 it was the Russians who reunited Sudeten Lands with the rest of Czechoslovakia.
It is strange that you forgotten or just ignored these important facts.
Soviets threw us (and not only us) aboard 1 year later- in August ´39 when they signed Molotov-Ribentrop pact.
