Uh, Russia, we weren't thinking of you re the Missile Shield. Thanks for the heads up.

I think we should be. It sounds like a veiled backhanded threat to me. Is anyone else in the world deploying ABMs??

Right, our defense was never intended for a large number of missiles, (which Russia has) so they don't need to do much, just overwhelm us. We could stop a single rogue launch, and the countermeasure game is one that we play too, so its tough to predict success on either side. Hitting a non-evading missile is quite a trick, but the easy counter measures have been accounted for as well.
