If our radars/sats detected an incoming from a threat country, what do you suppose the response would be? I mean after we launch THAAD, SM Block II, and EKV?

Some of those countries would be unaffected if we retaliated,since they're still living life like it was centuries ago, and some of the more modern ones long for life like it used to be back in the middle ages and before.

“Some of those countries would be unaffected if we retaliated,”

So four 100kT nukes would be shrugged off by a Somalia or Nork or Iran, because they are so primitive they can launch a successful nuke attack against us?

Oops, forgot, THAAD, Standard Missile, Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle are designed to neutralize incoming missiles. BSTS and the varios radar systems are designed to detect and track them.

An inbound set for 150 miles over Denver would need to be pretty stealthy to avoid getting zotted.
