I mean all due respect with this question. Not an attack. Do you think your country should have such missiles? If not, how would you handle the defense case in which your country is attacked but does not have them? Also note that most of Europe is defended by these missiles made in the USA.

In the real world, the dilemma is more often, "do you think your country, and all other countries it considers allies, should have such missiles"?

Right now, for example, Saudi Arabia is bombing Yemen with American-made bombs, and Turkey is using German tanks and Italian drones to grind Kurdish towns and villages into rubble in Syria.

I've mentioned this a few times already in other comments, but I'd be in much less of a quandry about missiles used for defense purposes. Especially so if they could only be used for shooting down other missiles.
