"Don't believe your own propaganda!" Missile defense is for suckers.
Basic, elementary, fundamental. No one is going to launch a missile at the US when they could send the damned warhead over in a container which would land in the middle of the harbor at San Pedro or New York.
It wouldn't even have to be a warhead. "Device" would do.
Cheaper, faster, better. Untraceable. More accurate.
Please try to be rational about it.
Missile defense is simply welfare for large corporations. The US is capitalistic for the small folks, socialistic for the large ones.
