America is looking more and more non influencial in the world, the one time world leader finds itself in a tight spot with Poland. For Mr Donald Tusk the Polish prime minister, Russia and China America is after its own interest not the interest of the European Public. The deal for US to place 10 missile interceptors in Poland as part of a defence shield against possible attack is being rejected on its latest terms offered by US.

Russia has said the project would upset the military balance in Europe and warned it could have no choice but to point its own missiles at the installations.
The US is also seeking permission to build a radar station in the Czech Republic as part of the defence shield plans.
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is expected to sign a deal with the Czech government next week in Prague.
Washington says the shield will help protect the country and its allies from so-called "rogue states" like Iran.
But Mr Tusk said that the presence of the missile shield in Poland would increase certain threats and risks for the country
