Defending ourselves somehow threatens them?

They are all liars.

Heh, heh....Flashback to Ronald Reagan, and “Star Wars.” Dismissed as science fiction by the Left. But, you know who thought we could do it? The (former) Soviet Union.

The neosoviets and other malefactors are echoing their forebears’ propaganda. The original soviets were opposed to missile defense ... except, of course, their own.

Yes. If you have a badass defense net that stops everything an enemy can throw at you, you can strike them with impunity. That's very destabilizing, although moreso if an imperialist expansionist country like either of them got it first.

That said, I guarantee Russia, and especially China, are putting their own efforts into such systems.
