Also, we have only 1 functioning ICBM defense system. And it is in Alaska. From where, precisely, do we anticipate that the ICBMs might come at us in whatever however implausible scenario?
The site would shoot down any missiles coming from Russia, (the missiles from Russia would come over the Arctic)aimed at the US.
OR, any missiles from Red China or North Korea aimed at Hawaii, or the West Coast of the US.
Another good point, well stated.
