Trump’s ‘Golden Dome’ Riles Nuclear-Armed Foes
Wall Street Journal MSN News ^ | 5/27/2025 | Austin Ramzy, Thomas Grove, Timothy W. Martin

President Trump’s “Golden Dome” plan has riled the three countries whose weapons technology poses the greatest threat to American territory, with China, Russia and North Korea claiming the missile-defense project is driving a dangerous new arms race.

-snip-

North Korea slammed the Golden Dome on Tuesday as the “largest arms-buildup plan in history.” China and Russia in a joint statement earlier this month called the project “deeply destabilizing.” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, in a briefing to journalists Tuesday, said the plan “represented a direct disruption to the foundations of strategic stability.”

All three countries have also denounced Trump’s call for space-based interceptors, saying they risk turning space into a battlefield.

Defending ourselves somehow threatens them?

They are all liars.

The Soviet Union also railed against SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative) which was the 1980s version of something similar.

Heh, heh....Flashback to Ronald Reagan, and “Star Wars.” Dismissed as science fiction by the Left. But, you know who thought we could do it? The (former) Soviet Union.

The neosoviets and other malefactors are echoing their forebears’ propaganda. The original soviets were opposed to missile defense ... except, of course, their own.

Yeah, it's like it's déjà vu all over again. Also their socialist lackeys in the Dem party derided SDI as "Star Wars." Expect The de facto leader of the Dems, AOC, to trot out the same lies, in 3...2...1...

I have recently seen articles by lib media saying SDI was a failure. I remember it actually worked very well during the first Gulf War.

The Soviets knew they couldn’t afford to keep up with SDI, which is why they had their fellow travelers poo-poo it.

It won’t be long until the rodents join these three enemies for another 20/80 issue for them to inflict on themselves.

How long will it be until Big Media likes Russia again?
