We also have some unbelievably fancy and unbelievably expensive ship-launched antiballistic missiles. Every time you pull the trigger, it costs the American taxpayer anywhere between two million to thirty-eight million dollars. The Heavy would be so happy.
I guess I am relieved to think that Trump doesn’t have enough of a grasp of geopolitics that this means anything about what he wants to do, that he thinks might get the rest of the world shooting rockets at us nonstop like happens to Israel periodically. I think he just wants an “Iron Dome” because having an Iron Dome over your country makes it sound like a cool supervillain fortress, and he wants to feel like a cool supervillain with all this cool tech. He doesn’t actually care whether we need it or what it does.
Yeah. We have it. It’s called the patriot system. It’s mobile,. The US is big. This is stupid.
