Euro Missile Shield Cancelled

Obama has undone the controversial missile shield project that Bush had proposed, in which a missile station would be built in Poland and a radar base in the Czech republic. The Russians weren´t too happy about such a system being placed on their doorstep and are pleased with the announcement, which comes as a result of a new evaluation of the Iranian threat. Although Iran are suspected to be working on nukes, their current level of technology means that such a threat would still be years away.
