“There are no North Korea missiles capable of reaching the U.S. and unlikely ever to be any.”
smart analysts, 1980
And has anyone seen a successful test of a North Korean missile that is capable? Regardless, the U.S. has a missile defense against the North Korean missiles, on the off chance that they do reach the U.S. The missile defense in Europe is to defend Europe, period. There is no threat against the U.S. that it deals with. And since it defends only Europe, and since Poland and the Czech Republic are allowing us to install it only after agreeing to give them billions in military aid for the honor of paying billions more to defend them, I say that if they want to defend against missiles then pay for it themselves. We'll sell them the hardware and they can put it where they want.
