It won't, but should be a lesson to all the advocates of "limited" missile defence (and there was a LOT of them) re: wishful thinking. Eg. from @washingtonpost.com @brookings.edu @carnegieendowment.org @csis.org tinyurl.com/bdfn2xm6 tinyurl.com/3xz3u3h9 tinyurl.com/yu3tvyhw tinyurl.com/44j5kucj 4/4

There is absolutely nothing limited about US missile defence plans now and it is openly aimed at 'peers' and 'near-peers' as well as 'rogues.' It is exactly why some of us have said for years that any BMD (even "limited" and only aimed at "rogues") was a worse option than none. 3/4

The official US position on this from Clinton onwards just never got to grips with the fact that they couldn't guarantee that it would only ever be limited and aimed at (what the US would unilaterally decide are) "rogue" states. The 2010 response to Russian concerns illustrated this perfectly. 2/4
