Our system is hardly better than what the Russians have, but because people like your read sites like RT uncritically, you think we have some magical shield that can stop thousands of nukes and their countermeasures. Our system can perhaps drop a handful of launches from a rogue state like North Korea or Iran, depending on the sophistication of their counter-measures. Some analysts think it may not be able to shoot down anything by a determined rogue state. Its also been tailored via various agreements and protests by Russia to only have so much capacity and to be in locations where it can only affect N Korea and the Middle East. The idea that it invalidates MAD is hysterical. Worse, if you worry about countries joining the EU and NATO, maybe Russian should stop invading its neighbors, annexing their lands, and stop blowing up civilians. Want friends? Be friendly.
