How good is the US anti missile system?

Does the US have a viable missile defense system?
Three shorter range tactical anti-ballistic missile systems are currently operational: the U.S. Army Patriot, U.S. Navy Aegis combat system/SM-2 missile, and the Israeli Arrow missile. In general short-range tactical ABMs cannot intercept ICBMs, even if within range (Arrow-3 can intercept ICBMs).”
So the war if conceivably could protract for as long as 15-20 years, nukes may become obsolete on a global scale as well.
The intelligence of covert operation is not factored into this equation, making the 15-20 year window of opportunity for Putin to go nuclear.
So instead of lightening up, given present trends in political , economic-and strategic forecasts being what they are within the differing think tank, cybernetic fail safe warning communities, is probably reversing course toward a critical mass/mess of conondrums, which has increasing uncertainty and insecurity at it’s core.
Then there is this from the UN chief :
“fears world headed for ‘wider war’ over Ukraine-Russia
UN chief Antonio Guterres warned nations Monday that he fears the likelihood of further escalation in the Russia-Ukraine conflict means the world is heading towards a “wider war.”
The secretary-general laid out his priorities for the year in a gloomy speech to the United Nations General Assembly that focused on Russia’s invasion, the climate crisis and extreme poverty.
“We have started 2023 staring down the barrel of a confluence of challenges unlike any in our lifetimes,” he told diplomats in New York.
Guterres noted that top scientists and security experts had moved the “Doomsday Clock” to just 90 seconds to midnight last month, the closest it has ever been to signaling the annihilation of humanity.
The secretary-general said he was taking it as a warning sign.
“We need to wake up – and get to work,” he implored, as he listed his urgent issues.
Top of the list was Russia’s war in Ukraine, which is approaching its one-year anniversary.
“The prospects for peace keep diminishing. The chances of further escalation and bloodshed keep growing,” he said.
“I fear the world is not sleepwalking into a wider war. I fear it is doing so with its eyes wide open.”
Guterres referenced other threats to peace, from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to Afghanistan, Myanmar, the Sahel and Haiti.
“If every country fulfilled its obligations under the (UN) Charter, the right to peace would be guaranteed,” he said,
He added it is “time to transform our approach to peace by recommitting to the Charter – putting human rights and dignity first, with prevention at the heart.”
More broadly, Guterres denounced a lack of “strategic vision” and a “bias” of political and business decision-makers towards the short term.
"The next poll. The next tactical political maneuver to cling to power. But also the next business cycle – or even the next day’s stock price.
“This near-term thinking is not only deeply irresponsible – it is immoral,” he added.
Stressing the need to act with future generations in mind, the secretary-general repeated his call for a “radical transformation” of global finance.”
