You do know that the missile defense that you are talking about is supposed to defend against ICBMs, and not short range missiles, right? In fact, if these hypersonic missiles are the wave of the future, then the whole missile defense system is pretty much useless.

And yes, I find it fucking ridiculous the idea that now is the time to have a "tough" president (whatever that means) because two nations are planning on cooperating on a short range missile. I mean, you do know that neither nation is within that sort of range from any significant US targets? Sure, if Russia really wanted I bet it could kill a few polar bears off the coast of Alaska with that, and they wouldn't even see it coming. But other than that, that missile would not even be in the top 25 weapons that the Russians have that could do damage to the US. And given India's allegiances, I doubt the US would have anything to fear from them selling it off.


Never mind that the US is much closer to completion of its hypersonic missile.
