"We are disappointed," said Eugeniusz Smolar, a former head of Warsaw's centre for international relations.
"I'm surprised," said Alexandr Vondra, the former Czech deputy prime minister and ambassador to Washington who led the shield project.
"The Americans only cared about their interests. They used everybody else," said Lech Walesa, the former Polish president and revolutionary leader. "It wasn't that the shield was that important, but it's about the way, the way of treating us."
Both the Poles and the Czechs have reputations as Eurosceptics, wary of the EU's biggest powers, Germany and France. That could change.
