Yes. Putin is threatening to nuke Romania to eliminate US defence systems there.
And the Obama’s big concern is getting boys to shower with girls in schools.
It’s not a defensive system. The primary function of these systems is to allow a US first strike against Russia without Russia being able to retaliate.
Here’s a hint... if it’s a “US defence system”, then it’s going to be located in, or at least near, the US. To consider it defensive otherwise is an exercise in Orwellian semantic destruction.
