nturing & audacity have been the hallmarks of the Bush administration’s foreign policy. This is proved beyond doubt by the Pentagon’s latest move to install a few elements of its proposed missile shield on Polish territory (10 antimissiles) and the proposed installation of a radar tracking system in the Czech Republic. The apparent reason for expanding the missile cover to Central Europe is not the threat from Russia, but a perceived threat of incoming missiles from Iran and North Korea.

Russia sees this as a new ‘containment’ strategy and the EU is palpably piqued because the US brashness has the elements to create wedges between the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ Europe. States Radoslaw Sikorski, former Polish Defence Minister, “The US should explain its plans more openly to avoid dividing the European alliance; and how and on what timetable it would include the Central European facilities within an ultimate NATO infrastructure.”
