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.

Did the test include decoy warheads?

Thaad is advertised for engaging medium range missiles only, not ICBMs, or that is what they want us to think, who knows.
Perhaps it can engage ICBMs.
If that is the case would it be deployed domestically for defense against ICBMs?? Around US cities and bases??

In the 1950’s thru the 1970s the US had Nike Hercules bases around every US city and base. Like over 10,000 missiles, some having nuclear warheads on them, but they were advertised as useful only against bombers, but were dismantled as part of, or a result of the ABM treaty... so maybe they DID have an ABM capability?

Big time. They were testing THAAD 10 years ago at White Sands when I was out there, so this isn't something they just dusted off to try it. It's a proven system.
