That's so pathetically one-sided it's laughable. Sure, you can argue missile defence systems undermine MAD doctrine and therefore make the world less safe. But the Russians have ICBMs pointed at us and have for a long time. So complaining that we're pointing missiles at them and saying therefore we're the bad guys is just silly.
h2o-
I'm not saying it's one sided-I'm just saying it's like the USA casually flopping their cock on Russia's shoulder and daring them not to complain about the strong smell of parmesan emanating off it.
Yes, Russia has a nuclear arsenal that defies logic and purpose, but at least they keep it under an old tarp in the back garden and their (visible) foreign military intervention over the last few decades is more like an alcoholic nonce having a stroke in the bushes rather than USA/UK gadding about the globe toppling so called dictators on a whim and a prayer.

Cuban Missile Crisis - America parks missiles in Turkey, directly threatening USSR. This is not even worth mentioning. USSR parks missiles in Cuba, directly threatening USA. USA loses it's shit.

Don't forget the USA deciding it'd be sending a really nice message to park missile systems in ex-soviet bloc countries.
Because if you're not going to attack anyone why should you mind if I'm pointing a gun at you!?
