>We may be seeing the biggest reversal in war since late WWI
Mainstream discussion so far limited to the tactic/operation layer in farflung battle fields. More pertinent is strategic layer where this desperate race for ABM is due to offensive rocketry / long range conventional strikes is increasingly openning up CONUS for attack. Which is the biggest reversal against US primacy since Revolutionary war. US homefront being ground to existential halt because ABM can't prevent adversaries from blowing up US refineries will place vast constraints on US willingness to defend interests abroad. When homelands are mutually vunerable - something US hasn't had to factor into calculations - it becomes much harder for US specifically to unilaterally force decisions, something it would otherwise do with relative impunity when adversaries could not disrupt CONUS.
