Im not being sarcastic. I donno.

What are they giving up? The way I see it, the Bush admin wanted to put missiles in a foreign country which is near Russia. Russia was pissed about this. Obama decided to back off a little (I don't think 'shelving' the plan means its totally gone, just not currently being pursued) and so of course russia is happy about this.

In my understanding, the US is not giving anything but, but rather holding back from trying to establish global military supremacy. Its a rather aggressive plan, putting the missiles in there.
