Due to the recent complete failure of our "nuke defense system" (aka Star WARS), one has to ponder that maybe the US is confident that if we aren't able to properly fly things into space to shoot things out of the atmosphere, then Russia won't be able to either. Call it an inferiority complex, but I think the US wanted to strut their stuff and failed miserably. Star WARS was a product of the seventies, and so was the cold war -- I thought our "global community" had moved past those days.
