In any case, it sounds like South Korea is letting us set-it-up in their country and that we should be able to intercept any missile before it can get close enough to do any damage on American soil. Perhaps South Korea is allowing it on their soil with an agreement that it will also be able to be used if a missile is launched at them (assuming that it could be used fast enough to intercept something on such a short launch).
I don't see how China can believe that it will destabilize the region because it seems like it would do the opposite.
Is this as good of news as I think?
Maybe if North Korea wasn't busy making videos of them blowing up cities in the US and continuing a program that would allow them to do just that, they wouldn't have to worry about the region being "destabalized".
