re: #217 JoshB

Certainly none of your half-dozen posts contain any assumptions. Not at all.

If that is the case we are all on equal footing.
However, it’s not an assumption that Standard missiles have a better track record of interception. It’s not an assumption that ship-borne systems are under better, more reliable US control than ground systems based on foreign soil. It’s not an assumption that Standard-based assets can be deployed faster, and cover the Middle East.
