Critics love to say missile defense is too expensive, too complex, too easy to overwhelm. They’re wrong — if you’re America. Systems like Aegis, THAAD, and Patriot aren’t just hardware. They’re tied into radar arrays from Alaska to Japan, with allies feeding data into the same grid. A missile launch in North Korea can be detected, tracked, and assigned a kill shot in seconds. Multiple interceptors fire from different angles — the enemy gets no second chance. That’s why our rivals test missiles in the middle of the night, far from prying eyes. They know if it ever comes to a real fight, our shield is already up. #Military #MissileDefense #NationalSecurity
