1. If everyone is so sure that missile defenses don't work then why get all upset about their deployment? Wouldn't the proper reaction be: "Oh, those silly Americans wasting money on missile defense!"
2. The reaction of the Russians to threaten Poland with nuclear weapons is the finest argument for Poland to have a missile defense program that I can think of. It is also a fine argument for Poland to pursue a nuclear weapons program of their own.
We need missile defence about as much as we need asteroid defence.
You're a little out of step with the consensus of scientific thought on this one.

2. Escalation as a deterrent only works so far, there is a reason they call it brinkmanship. Once you go over the edge, no take backs. Would you support Cuban Nukes?

i disagree. The russians are threatening poland BECAUSE of the missile defense, and because they question their intentions.
A couple things....

#2 Is a VERY bad idea though. I am all for defence, but the less nukes on the planet the better.

But missile defenses don't work (right?) so what's to get upset about?
1. Ever heard of keeping up with the Jones? Everyone will be expected to support the new shiny.
The Russians already have the most extensive ABM defenses in the world, why should they be upset if Poland wants to be able to shoot down a mere ten missiles when Russia can supposedly shoot down hundreds of them?

Please explain to me the logic of condemning defensive weapons while being perfectly fine with offensive weapons?
What is wrong with a nation that has no offensive nuclear capability being able to defend itself and others from nuclear attack?
The trillion dollar price tag comes to mind...
You're not paying for it so your point is????
