That’s such a stupid take. They put it as far north as possible so they could get as much notice as possible. Even today it takes time to respond and you need as much as you can get. Even today, shooting down a ballistic missile at high hypersonic speeds with multiple warheads is much easier the earlier in flight you can shoot
That is pretty much exactly what they were saying. They put it as far north as possible, so the missiles would be fired upon as far north as possible, which means they would be shot down as far north as possible, and as far away from their targets as possible.
You’re saying almost exactly the same thing as they did, and arguing that they were stupid for saying it.
You are so wrong… the most direct route for a missile attack to US from Russia passes over Canada, hence the location.
They could still put it along the US border but it doesn’t make sense for the US to shoot missiles down on top of themselves

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. You’re saying the same thing as the other guy who replied to you.
