#1 Sure the Norks won't have ICBMs. They won't have nukes either. I believe you, I really do.

Everybody knows its in case Russia ever figures out how to get make missiles fly, why play the game comrade? Just call it what it is. A way to box your silly asses in.

#3 If you aren't planning on launching on someone, or intimidating someone with the treat, why would you care? It's like the muggers arguing against concealed carry.

#6 I'm guessing the Rooskis are not concerned about their launchers being neutralized so much as the missile defenses queering their arms sales to certain parties.

#7 Some journalist should get a globe, draw the shortest path between the Middle East and the US and demonstrate how the defence sites fall along those paths. Same thing between Russia and the US and even Russia and Europe. In those scenerios these sites are worthless.

The guy is either a moron or trying to save arms sales which makes him a villian.

And whales can fly, really they do, they just make sure no humans are around first
Yes I realize it was sarcasism.
