Tell me again how a DEFENSIVE missile system is a threat to Russia.

So Zelinsky good and you are aligned with Hunter and Joe Biden, Google, Facebook, Obama, the Clintons, James Clapper, the Democrat party, the corporate media, Lindsay Graham and Mittens then? No propaganda there. No siree

ABM capabilities are not JUST ‘defensive’, but depending on their effectiveness, would negate the offensive capability of the opponent. This is an indirect enhancement of a protagonists offensive capability, as they have less risk from MAD.

If the side with effective ABM did not have ANY offensive weaponry, THEN your protestations might have merit.

"Tell me again how a DEFENSIVE missile system is a threat to Russia."

Just speculating here, but maybe the missiles are easier to take out sooner after launch(?) Also, one missile may/will carry multiple warheads, certainly it's a good idea to get them all together.

I can't imagine anything harder to hit than nuke warheads raining down on cities.

So, a defensive system may, reduce the "balance of power".
