It’s a good Page, I have a bone to pick with the article though. Well maybe two.

First if a critic wants to argue about decoys, I do get it with Russia and China maybe. Plus they have a lot of warheads to overwhelm our system. But NK with a crude atomic warhead & a nearly untested missile would then be able to add decoys? Seems to me the most doubtful thing of all.

We have far more tests of our interceptors than NK has of it’s longest range rockets. Say our interceptors work half the time. Send 3. I suspect they communicate so the follow on warheads can correct for the first. In any case we have a lot ready to go. it’s true they are not really production reliable EKV’s they were R&D versions. But the next gen of EKV is coming.

Many of the critics want us to not have a system at all. because it might not work. Excuse me but how well will nothing at all work?
