US Missile Shield already Defeated?

Anonymous Coward writes "Forbes is reporting that although interest in the missile defense system has waned while the US military addresses more pressing matters of immediate concern, the Russians have already developed an anti-missile-defense missile designed to defeat the system. Were the US military to actually prove that the missile defense shield worked, the Russian rocket's "zig-zag" flightpath taken en route to it's target would render the shield useless. Russian President Vladimir Putin says that the non-ballistic trajectory would leave the projectile virtually impossible to down or divert. The author feels inclined to say that the missile defense shield was intended as a defense against rogue states such as North Korea that have not acquired this technology yet."

When you die, ask Hitler & Stalin how their treaty of non-agression worked out ?

When I wage war. . . , one day in the middle of peacetime I will have troops in Paris. They will be wearing French uniforms. They will march through the streets. No one will stop them. Everything is prepared down to the smallest detail. They march to the General Staff Headquarters. They occupy the ministries, the parliament. Within a few minutes France, Poland, Austria, Czechoslovakia are robbed of their leading men. An army without a general staff. All political leaders taken care of. The confusion will be unprecedented. But long since I have been in touch with men who will form a new government--a government which suits me. We find such men. We find them in every land. We do not have to buy them. They come on their own. Ambition and delusion, party strife and intrigue drive them. We will have a peace treaty before we have war. I guarantee you, gentlemen, that the impossible will always succeed. The most improbable way is the surest.
