Simple question.

Since so many conservatives on CD say that a Republican wouldn't have abandoned it.

If it's so important to the Europeans, why didn't they offer to pay for ALL of it?

So Democrats will not give Ukraine a billion dollars.

If we are not willing to defend people, we need to stop helping them to throw out their democratically elected leaders.

This is the bigger, more important question. Why is Barack Obama giving away our missle secrets?

Vice Adm. James D. Syring, director of the Pentagon’s Missile Defense Agency,
that the administration has sought to declassify sensitive missile defense
technology that could be shared with Moscow.

The shield, in part, is designed to protect the United States. What else do you need? Further, the House GOP defense authorization bill of 2014 authorized the government to seek shared funding from NATO states. I understand your concern, but I think its a bit too late at this point to address the issue of funding. That train already left the station...unless you don't think it's prudent to protect the US from the likes of North Korea and iran.

To what end? God every discussion here is the same one over and over. One side defending "their" side no matter what and no matter what position they've taken before.

North Korea? Is that a joke?

Iran? What nukes do they have and why would they fire them at us?

Should the United States pay for European missile defense?

They certainly don't teach economics, when you're poor (the US) you don't go around bailing other countries out, economically or militarily.
