Except for when "nuclear sate" Russia is "seeking military superiority at the expense of the security of" Ukraine.
Only because we got it before you did, so...don't care.
Bullstuff.
That's the same lie peddled by Kruschev, and Brezhnev, and Gorbachev ...
Not surprising to see the neo-soviets puking it up again.
They both know what the outcome of Reagan proposing SDI was. Crapping their pants.
We can out spend them, until we can’t.
Since it’s not an offensive weapon they shouldn’t care...unless they had plans to attack.
If we really want to ruffle China’s feathers we could put a Golden Dome over Korea, Japan and Taiwan. They wouldn’t want that, now would they?
Who the F do they think they are kidding?
Sure,
If they can pay for it, they also should build missile defense systems spanning their entire nations real estate. Hahaha
Missile defense is essential at this point. It’s long over due in fact. Obama and Biden were asleep at the wheel on this issue. What we have in place (US Navy SM and USAF Interceptors) is inadequate.
Today, we are in the era of long range missile and nuclear proliferation to where Iran, North Korea, Libya (for Europe pre-2011), all pose a threat.
Look at Israel today, they are getting bombarded from Iran and Yemen.
It takes many years to build a defensive system, but a threat nation could have access to long range missiles and even nukes in very short time.
If we do not build a missile defense system, we will eventually get black-mailed by some “$hit hole” nation with a missile where they screwed a nuke to the front end of it. God help us if they actually use it and it gets through.
The problem isn’t even Russia and China. These are the less likely nuclear threats to ever use them (to much to lose, stable, etc). But today you have Iran, North Korea, Pakistan, India, Libya was developing them pre-2011, Iraq was developing them pre-2003, Yemen has been firing them at Israel (conventional)... The point is that the long range missile and even nuclear technology has become more available even for these backward regimes.
Sitting on ones hands and ignoring the threat as Obama and Biden mostly did, is frankly reckless and irresponsible.
Do we really want to get to a point where we have morons like this deciding over our fate? https://images.marinelink.com/images/maritime/houthi-military-146155.png?_gl=1*9hcakb*_ga*NjYxOTg4MTQ5LjE3NDY3Mzc1NTQ.*_ga_C8X43VMLJ3*czE3NDY3Mzc1NTQkbzEkZzAkdDE3NDY3Mzc1NTQkajAkbDAkaDA.
