The ‘Golden Dome’ is Pure Fantasy

[Swordsmyth]

On a global scale, the US does the most burgling.

That's simply false.
And the only reason we are as high on the list as we are is that our strength deters others from invading us or their neighbors.

These are the same people who opposed the cost of the wall in spite of the costs of the invasion.

The government paid for both. If you hadn't had your head up your ass the whole time, you'd have heard people say they'd rather have paid for the wall than the invasion, but everyone with a lick of sense was sick of paying for both.

And that your priority of buying a big beautiful wall with a big beautiful door (remember that line from 2016? Of course you don't, but he said it) was just fucking stupid as long as it was the CIA importing them, because of course the CIA would be given a big beautiful key to the big beautiful door.

But you'd about have to double your brain capacity to understand that concept.

The door just means we aren't going full isolationist like Japan did.
And while the CIA might try to bring in some assets through the legal system the door represents, they wouldn't be able to flood them across the border the way Biden did.
Had the wall been built the cost increase caused by Biden would not have happened and the wall would have paid for itself, same thing if the wall had been built back when Ron voted to build it.
There was never a time not building the wall would save money.

The door just means excuse excuse excuse.

Whatever.

You do realize we're talking about the CIA, right? Trump hasn't bucked them yet -- not even once. And you've regularly used, "He didn't want the CIA to kill him" as an excuse for his bullshit. So grow up.

Whatever.

Unreal, the hubris. Israelis are INTENT on either an exclusive deal to build the so-called Golden Dome
or to work with their partners to get a piece of it. How does this make us feel, our national defense up to Israelis?

Can Israel Aerospace Industries secure a spot in Trump’s 'Golden Dome' missile shield?

IAI officials expressed hope for Israel's chances, noting that Arrow missile defense systems have defended against more ballistic missile targets than any other system.

IAI officials said that once the program architecture and management are clear, if they want to move rapidly, Israel has another edge as it could potentially provide systems for the dome in a mere two to three years – faster than some competitors.
A big question is whether Trump will lean on an "America First" approach, preferring US companies to produce the Golden Dome's anti-missile batteries and radars.

Even in that case, IAI has proved creative at finding local partners in the US and many other countries, such that it could still potentially participate, even if more indirectly.

After seeing what happened to Israel's so-called "Iron Dome", I hope we've recovered from this Star Wars/Golden Dome BS...



By the way, I'm not opposed to a defensive missile shield provided that we also bring American troops home and close all of our forward bases that we don't need and which just allow the MIC to start conflicts so it can rake in trillions. And I don't think Russia would be making veiled nuclear threats at us if we withdrew our troops from forward bases and built a defensive missile-shield. We would really just be mimicking Russia at that point.

When it comes to nukes, let's not FAFO. Let's just learn from Israel's mistakes and not do that here... especially with nukes.
