THAAD is one excellent option in the strategic missile defense of the US and US interests.

This test was conducted about two weeks ago and was significantly discouraging to the screwball North Korean and IslamoNazi Iranian regimes.

THAAD will swat anything they've got.

"This was the 14th successful intercept in 14 attempts for the THAAD weapon system. The THAAD element provides a globally-transportable, rapidly-deployable capability to intercept ballistic missiles inside or outside the atmosphere during their final, or terminal, phase of flight. THAAD is strictly a defense system."

Beats the hell out of the non-existent system promoted by demRATs.

They should use it against Fat Nork’s next missle test.
