“We just need another 15,000 or so spread around the border to truly be safe from ICBMs.”
Nope. Even the Star Wars profiteers can’t say the Russians and Chinese can’t depoloy simple decoy systems to avoid “star wars”, let alone use cruise missiles.
It’s a scam, a repeat of the 1980’s boondoggle. But this time it’s to fight imaginary warheads from imaginery missiles.
Decoys don’t move like the real thing.
Funny thing is,
If it was ineffective,
Why do our enemies and less then allies get so upset about it! LOL
The 1980s star wars defense wasn't a boon doggle. It was a carefully thought out plan by Ronald Regan to drive the Russians to bankruptcy and it worked.
BTW, cruise missles are easily defeated as they fly much slower than balistic missles and can usually be taken care of with guns, not missle interceptors.
