The question I have is whether any of our anti-missile systems have the
capability of shooting down the more sophisticated missiles the Russians
have.

Certainly not all they would be willing to launch. That is why Star
Wars was such a joke.

We might be able to slow down a country like Iran or N Korea with a
few missiles but the fact that we could flatten their whole country
from one submarine should be deterrent enough.

I think these days no matter how much military one has, one is not going
to be able to take down another big time military power that has
missiles and nuclear capabilities, which is why I believe that there's
nothing we can do militarily in a serious fashion directly against the
Russians or the Chinese without risking missiles raining down on us.

Not to mention the nuclear **** storm any of the minors could initiate.
