there's no evidence that missile defense systems don't work...LOL
How about the 70% failure rate? How about the fact the only time we actually get an interceptor hit is when we have planned the test, we have the trajectory already programmed into the interceptor, we do not use decoys or interference and we do not test more then 1 incoming missile at any time? Note, none of that portrays a real attack in any way.
Furthermore, it makes no sense to actually attack America with a missile.
Missile defense only works against a country stupid enough to launch a few missiles with no decoys, no interference spending huge amounts on reliability and accuracy when they could get the same effect for 1/1000th of the price by just smuggling nukes in via cargo ships. And reduce the likelihood of a counter strike.
Missile defense is socialist industrial policy merely existing to employ people for the sake of employment.
