Ukraine

I'm genuinely not understanding this statement. Which "imminent Asian invasion" are you referring to?

I thought the Russians were coming and that is why we needed missile batteries along europe's eastern flank and now with Russia's unprovoked invasion of THE Ukraine, NATO is more important than ever.

You mean the Aegis Ashore , or some other missile system ?

Yes, the West is also guilty of false narratives. But a bad narrative does not equal bad reporting. Journalists in Ukraine are seeing what they're seeing, and what they see can be verified by other observers. There's no reason to assume their reporting is false because it doesn't match a particular narrative.

Whatever. like 9mm or 45cal?

Aegis Ashore uses a rocket powered telescope that runs into other missiles to destroy them,
the radar is in Turkey, pointed at Iran. There is no bomb on a SM3 or SM6 missile.

The missiles in North Dakota are the ones for destroying Moscow,
they have bombs on them. They've been there for 50+ years.
