And with some justification. Israel is not some shining white knight

Or should we wait for China and N Korea to develop longer range 3-stage
missiles capable of hitting CONUS? I live in northern California and we

Too late. China already has a few ICBMs that are capable of hitting
large parts of CONUS.
