I fail to see how this is any better than existing first strike weapons.

Anti-anti-ballistic-missile technology doesn't mean much when anti-ballistic missiles barely work, and all your adversaries have lots of rockets each with lots of reentry vehicles.

Maybe destabilizing means we, the US now have less time to make a decision on a first strike by Russia and the potential for an incorrect analysis leads to a retaliatory strike before we lose the ability to do so.

That sounds like it would be a net negative for Russia

Missiles are worthless if you can destroy them before they are launched.
