We just need another 15,000 or so spread around the border to truly be safe from ICBMs.

Nope. Even the Star Wars profiteers can’t say the Russians and Chinese can’t depoloy simple decoy systems to avoid “star wars”, let alone use cruise missiles.
It’s a scam, a repeat of the 1980’s boondoggle. But this time it’s to fight imaginary warheads from imaginery missiles.
Nope, ballistic missiles work differently than long range missiles. They travel in space except during launch and reentry, which means you would need missile defense sites everywhere that a ballistic missile could reenter or you would need to use different technology (like missiles that are designed to operate in space, lasers, etc.)
