So with Russia going all Cold War 2: Imperial Boogaloo on everyone I was wondering if, considering the advances in computing power in particular in the 21st century, would it be more feasible nowadays to have a working anti-ICBM system than it was in the 80's or is it still a pipe dream?

Within the realm of possibility for a rogue state popping off one or two at someone. How far within the realm depends on which system you're talking about/who you believe/etc.

Against a full on hundreds of simultaneous missiles coming from multiple directions Cold War style strike? Yeah, pipe dream.

Didn't you know that GWB just screwed everything up by responding to Russia's invasion of Georgia with increased European defense buildup

Other than GMD (which was loving stupid) that wasn't really a thing.

Also I fail to see how "building up more US forces in Europe while the Euros continue to stand by and do nothing cut their militaries even further" is really a net positive for the US.

We should build a network of satellite - borne grover lasers that can glass a continent or just fry a dictator's gonads.

This seems relevant

Except that Dale Brown was actually in the military. He was a navigator on a B-52. Which is why his Gary Sue Protaganist also happens to be a navigator on a B-52

Which has a concorde nose

and air to air missles

and shoots stinger missles from it's rear end.

My favorite dale brown book is when they put air to air missiles on a B2.

The Megafortress owns, I won't hear otherwise.
