I never understood why liberals would object to missile defense — it’s NOT an offensive weapon but a defensive shield. I know their not promoting Mutually Assured Destruction (which likely won’t work with rogue states run by nutcases like Iran and North Korea), so I have to believe that they don’t want the US to defend itself against our enemies.
My guess is that - like Obama - they just want to cut the military budget as a knee-jerk liberal reaction regardless of the consequences. I think the reason for that is so they’ll have more money to piss away on domestic social welfare programs.
They didn’t think of it so it must be bad.
