Doesn't matter if the EU supports it or not. The US cannot let Russia push us around. If the intent is not to ever attack their missiles then we should have kept our mouth shut. (our meaning the United States) It is stupid to make an empty threat.
I agree with your point about bluffs and idle threats, the hallmark of the US government, but don't you suppose that the Russians feel the same as we do? That they cannot let the US push them around?
It seems to me the rest of the world has become quite resentful of the US pushing them around.
