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.

In other words, Russia's concern is that we shall launch a "first-strike" nuke attack on Russia with no provocation?

Even more paranoid than I thought.

Yep paranoia that is dangerous especially mixed with nuclear weapons.We must protect the free world against it.
