And are you aware that the Russians already have an ABM system around Moscow? Seems a bit hypocritical (or is that spelled "national interest") for them to oppose our building one.

Depends on what kind of system we would build. We can field a system to defend New York and still be within the terms of the ABM treaty; the Russians probably wouldn't bitch that much. Maybe just out of principle you have to bitch. The US is proposing a system[s] that violates the treaty.

Back in the good ol' days of the Cuban missile crisis the Soviets were a bit confused. They had some initial problems sorting out why the US was being so huffy about Soviet weapons in Cuba, while the US already had, in place, weapons in Turkey. Seemed fair to the Soviets to put weapons in Cuba.
