"To spend billions on more defense is ludicrous imo"

Not really. While I agree with you that being concerned over a ballistic attack is really sort of silly, smuggled in satchel nukes and biological and chemical weapons seems to be a bigger concern, it is fine with me for them to do the research and prototyping of missile defenses. Think about it, big lasers, techniques for tracking multiple objects, sensors and so on have lots of other uses...

Now anything beyond a small deployment needs to be talked over.
