President Obama has signaled he wants to share SM-3 missile defense systems with Russia. The SM-3, as I found out is the Navy's Aegis anti-ballistic missile which is a short to medium ranged defensive missile. Security members think this is a bad idea overall but worse if Russia shares said technology with China, North Korea and possibly Iran. There are also some questions as to the legality of sharing such systems with Russia. (See article below).

Presumably, this is a "gift" to Russia to show the US is serious about missile talks with Russia which are currently stalled.
Good idea or not?
