Blah, some purple-haired woman will just ram us at light speed.

Oddly, that is the nickname Mrs. Angus made for my glans.

Bet it will take out hypersonic MIRVs as well (with Elons help)

It'll be the BIGGEST, BEST, MOST BEAUTIFUL Iron Dome the world has ever seen!

Good observation that hadn't occurred to me.

Between the Fed's money, Trump's will and Elon's rocket technology, we could build the most advanced strategic national missile defense shield in the world!

We had an Iron Dome. We started the technology Israeli uses. Biden as a senator, and all the Democrats opposed it.

 

[sparky]

Is there something wrong about assuming a defensive position here? ~S~

In all honesty...I thunk that's why Trump lets elon stay so close and so often. Poor Trump not only has to deal with the worlds problems...he has a new "best friend" to boot

Democrats hate the US.

Not in dispute.

Knowing Trump as I think I do, I'm sure that he thinks 5 moves ahead on everything he does in life, including his friends.
Especially after what happened in Butler, Pa in July.
The art of the deal is making the right friends with the right people at just the right time.

It’s already in Cyprus, as Turkey already deployed military drones to Cyprus's breakaway north in December 2019.

Back in the same way it was under Reagan? A vote winner, but not a reality?

Good luck getting Congress to pay for it and recruiting enough new servicemembers to man it.

Russia and China have hyper-sonic missiles, very hard to hit.

Russia's Oreshnik flies at Mach-10. A good stack of nukes on similar US missiles is the better deterrent.

Oreshnik missile system to arrive in Belarus very soon, self-proclaimed Belarusian president says

Maginot Lines never work and are a waste of money.....MAD works.

Oreshnik is an ICBM. Firing one at the US mainland would probably be met with a nuclear response regardless. One of the reasons the US appears to be behind in this race (but not really) is that we reportedly have several different versions in development that aren't as dependent on the ICBM platform to launch. Most appear to be more like cruise missiles that can fly very fast at very low altitudes.

OK, but my main point is that the US has a huge land area so defending every square mile like "Iron Dome" does for Israel is stupid, the Iron Dome can shoot down slow & crude missiles from Hamas, but shooting down Oreshniks is a lot harder if not impossible.

I could see deploying defensive missiles around our ICBM silos to protect our response, but Trump may be very wrong pushing the Iron Dome now. We don't have the money anyway.

 

[Zincwarrior]

We already have THAAD.

Any other things we need to build that we already have?

Frankly, the Progs have learned little. The cities are currently theirs. Let them learn the hard way.
