Read my lips -- it's a missle DEFENSE plan. You cannot separate offensive part from the defensive one. Why? The country which builds the successful anti-missile system will acquire the first strike capability.

True. The best defense, is a good offense. The anti-missle system is also backed by our boomer fleet...with both in place the defensive deterrent is a powerful one. America has never postured for a first-strike nuclear capability. And Ivan is on full-tilt over it...mainly for political purposes as far as Putin goes.

Even more paranoid than I thought.

The country which builds the successful anti-missile system will acquire the first strike capability. That's why you have a strategic triad.
