I'm gonna cleanse you in nuclear hellfire, Jack 
It is easier to intercept an intercontinental ballistic missile and the US still doesn't have ICBM interception technology.
Good luck.
Except ... they do. Since 2020
I'm not saying in actual use it's reliable, but then again that's true of every country's ICBC interception capabilities. Missile guidance tech is one of the things the USA has an edge in.
It isnt reliable. That's the point. Also, note that it isn't for ICBMs, but short and mid range BMs.
What? USA has been able to do that for decades
Not reliably. If it was reliable at any point the US would have used nukes on someone else by now.
"Could" doing lots of work here
Let's just copy the Japanese rail system instead...
Riiiight, you're going to build a thing that presumably goes mach 10 which can shoot other things moving at mach 10
Biden is slowly just morphing into Reagan
Call it Star Wars Joe!
Seems like a bit of a stretch if you're having trouble developing a normal hypersonic missle. Presumably, you'd need to make something faster and more agile.
I'd prefer if they'd build big ass robots.
Kinda. I don't want a missile defense system I want Voltron!
Pissing off the rest of Asia in 3... 2... 1...
Japanese demilitarization post-WW2 kept relations stable and happy. What will this do?
Maybe splitting the cost over two countries is worth it? Japan would benefit from decreasing the risk of hypersonics to US air craft carriers
