Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that his administration will move forward with developing the so-called “Golden Dome” missile defense system that he envisions will protect the United States from possible foreign strikes using ground and space-based weapons.
"Once fully constructed, the Golden Dome will be capable of intercepting missiles even if they are launched from other sides of the world, and even if they are launched from space,” Trump said, “forever ending the missile threat to the American homeland.”
The option that Trump chooses will determine its timeline and cost. The $25bn coming from Republicans’ budget bill is only set to cover initial development costs. The final price tag could exceed $540bn over the next two decades, according to the congressional budget office.
This is the same bluff regan used for the “star wars” program.
But the kids only need 1 or 2 dolls…
Really doubting it could be done so inexpensively. Not to mention the insane cost to operate. All to stop a military threat that doesn’t really exist.
His goal must be war in a decade. Why else do we need a trillion dollar defense system if we aren’t going to make some big enemies soon?
Best of luck to everyone else in WWIII, I hope you bomb us back to the stone age. Skip the reservations and museums if you can.
