#2 ". . . saying this would undermine strategic stability and require a "corresponding" response from Moscow
the Kremlin
the Politburo
the Soviet Premier . . ."

Oh hell. You get the idea.

#3 "corresponding" response from Moscow

Would that mean Russian ABMs in Cuba, Venezuela, or France?

#4 Oh yeah, like it would make them work to undermine the US any faster. Just another convenient excuse to sell arms to support a f&*^ed up economy and culture of corruption. They would be farther ahead if they just settled down and did the work they needed to do to fix their economy rather than try to improve their relative ranking by pulling those around them down.

And if they are serious about this, the whole problem would go away if they stopped thinking paranoid thoughts.

We just ignore the spoiled children these days and worry about the real threats. ;)

#9 Maybe Pootie-Poot's worried that if we set up a functional ABM system that protects the rest of Europe from the Muzzies, the crocodile might not eat him last after all.

#10 How dare we seek to shoot down their first strike missiles. We've got our nerve.

#13 "require a 'corresponding response'"

Aw, they're just pissy because it means they would have to retarget some missiles and they can't find the programming manuals. Hint: try and buy back the manuals off Ukrainian eBay.

#14 Poland is not in the trajectory of Russia to US missiles (which would go over the North Pole. Either the translation of Pole confused some vodka addled appratichnik or the Russians think missile defence might slow their missile sales to Iran.
