 WASHINGTON (AP) - Russia's new proposal for a missile defense system in Europe is far afield from what the United States has in mind and unlikely to garner much support, defense analysts said Thursday.
"It's a Russian attempt to appear not to be intransigent over this issue," said David Wright of the Massachusetts-based Union of Concerned Scientists. "But I think it's not going to satisfy people in the United States who want a defense system."
An advocate of the missile shield said the proposal by Russian President Vladimir Putin is at least a start.
