This article discusses the deployment of missile defense systems in Europe. The author argues that Germany, Europe and NATO must carry out a joint substantiated threat analysis, adapt their perception of the threat to reflect present-day realities and reach an agreement on a missile defense system. The paper concludes that the establishment of such a system, combined with efforts on the part of NATO in and for Europe, is in the interests of Germany and Europe, while Russia's involvement is not only in its own interest but also in the interests of Europe and the United States.
