Military specialists already have serious doubts whether the missile shield can protect targets from the hypersonic missiles that Russia has been successfully testing since 2004, so in the end, this might just be another starwars program, which will only be money tossed away. If the missile shield would be deployed to protect Europe from possible strike from Iran, im sure there would be better places then Poland to deploy it.
In the end, i think the main beef with Russia is that it doesnt want the advanced radar installations which will be part of the missile shield, so close to its borders. To me this doesnt sound like US is trying to protect Europe from Iran, rather then US wants to have an forward installation near Russia, which would be good for observation for example.
