    In general, I think missiles are bad. I think shooting down missiles is good.

    There’s the rare exception to this, where the thing the missile is aimed at is about to do something worse than the missile, and the missile has a chance at preventing great harm

    This is not one of those exceptions. Missiles hitting in this case would not save anyone, they’d just increase the risk of war

    All that being said, you don’t try to negotiate as missiles are literally en route to a country. That’d be extremely messed up, that’s not how you treat an ally, no matter your relationship. You’d want to shoot them down, playing up your contribution if possible. Make them not want to think about how it would’ve gone without your help. Then leverage that later
