The Romanian parliament ratified an accord to host U.S. missile interceptors on its soil on Dec. 6, a day before a meeting of the 28 NATO members in Brussels.

The Senate unanimously adopted the draft law ratifying the Romania-U.S. agreement signed in September that would allow the establishment and operation of a U.S. land-based ballistic missile defense system in Romania as part of NATO's efforts to build a continental missile shield.

"The location of some elements of the U.S. missile shield represents a very important contribution to the security of Romania, the U.S. and the entire alliance," Foreign Minister Teodor Baconschi told senators, according to Mediafax news agency.

The draft law was adopted by the lower house in November and is now set to be promulgated by President Traian Basescu.

Wait, wasn't the official propaganda that this is just directed at Iran and would have no effect on Russia.

Yeah, but Russia/Putin don't see it that way.  It's ok though, they/he is putting a new missile defense system in Kaliningrad.  link (http://www.itar-tass.com/en/c32/291820.html)

That'll show us.

They way you were describing it, one might think you secretly agreed with them.
