Trump wants a 'Golden Dome' capable of defending the entire US: 'Strategically, it doesn't make any sense'

[okfine]

It sure is easy to see who hates America these days.

Trump voter projection ^^^

‘Trump has repeatedly insisted the US needs a missile defense program similar to Israel’s Iron Dome, but the systems are orders of magnitude apart. In practical terms, the comparison is less apples to oranges, and more apples to aircraft carriers.

Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system selectively protects populated areas from short-range threats in a country the size of New Jersey; Trump wants a space-based missile defense system capable of defending the entire United States from advanced ballistic and hypersonic missiles.

For one thing, “Israel is tiny,” the source familiar with ongoing internal discussions about the Golden Dome project said. “So, it is 100% feasible to blanket Israel in things like radars and a combination of mobile and fixed interceptors.”

“How are you going to do that in the United States? You can’t do it just at the borders and the shoreline, because intercontinental ballistic missiles, they can re-enter the atmosphere over Kansas.”’

It has to be 'golden' of course.

Golden toilets, golden drapes. Golden dye job, golden showers, everything has to be golden.

More childish idiocy from Trump.

The Zionist regime's Iron Dome is not effective.

It's wrongheading thinking to be considering a defense against the most modern weapons. Trump has understood the threat and he let his knee jerk in the wrong direction. If the situation deteriorates he could be facing a hundred or more hypersonic missiles per each sitting duck! Assuming that 99 would likely be overkill.

Peace is the only way forward for all the world's superpowers!

Tell that to Israel.

Tell that to Israel.

The Zionist regime understands that it can no longer attack Iran and so has to contend with ongoing revenge attacks by Iran's proxies.
Jews who want to live with their families in a safe environment are returning to from where they came in the thousands.

The great emigration: Israel sees an unprecedented number leave the country

Israel faces record emigration, with 40,600 leaving this year, numbers the country has never seen before.

Not a new idea at all. This dates back to the Star Wars program in the 80s, Obama restarted parts of the program in 2019. Trump just wants to continue their bipartisan work.

Of course you are uneducated dembot so you wouldn’t know that, you just see Trump…so childish, but par for the course for dembots

We are protecting Europe already with an ABM sysytem (Poland and Romania).

We can track ICBM's as soon as they are launched on the other side of the world. Why cant we put a missile defense system in each state to protect agsinst incoming nukes?

 

[Meathead]

It's like Ronnie Raygun take two!

One can only hope. But Reagan pales in comparison to Trump in consequentiality.

‘Trump has repeatedly insisted the US needs a missile defense program similar to Israel’s Iron Dome,

My advice to Trump is only protect areas where huge numbers of Republicans live, since Democrats don't want this at all.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Degenerate democrats are horrified at the thought of protecting the United States.

 

[Leo123]

We already have that but, if I told you the details, I'd have to snuff ya.

 

[Robert W]

How many missiles have hit the USA once Reagan started what is called Star Wars?

Yeah, he redid the Oval Office in his signature whorehouse baroque!

 

[elektra]

Small people think small.....Nuff said.

Yet, democrats claim they can run the world on sun and wind. Just let them spend $300 trillion on green energy. This though, protecting America they just don't like

The only difference I can see is the Ronnie closed the insane asylums but tRump brought them to the Whitehouse and welcomed them in.

 

[ThisIsMe]

NAw, it's just another dementia dream.

You do realize we don't have a defense against hypersonic missiles, right? Ever think working on a technology like this might lead to a defense against them?

I'm sure they already are, and were long before tRump showed up with his silliness.

Just admit it..if biden has come up with the idea, it would have been the greatest idea since gun powder....
