I really hate defending the chi-coms, but were we more responsible in the 80's when we blew a sat out? I really don't know.

You mean other than giving notification to other spacefaring nations and using balloons as target satellites so as to minimize resulting debris?
Several of the early failures of the THAAD interceptor were tied to stresses induced by maneuvers intended to minimize debris rather than any basic flaws in the system. You didn't hear that on CNN. (And I work for the competitor.)
