I tend over the years to have developed a certain hesitancy about believing that headlines tell the whole story.
If you look ahead 10 years, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the people of Russia had become fans of missile defence.
At 78 years old, I am not surprised at much anymore. Germany has taken divergent positions before, so has France, so has England, so has the US.
I have seen the answer to that question migrate in the intelligence community over a period of a year in the most amazing way.
