I couldn’t believe what I was hearing from Trump!! Seriously. I’m old enough to remember that well slopped trough for the military industrial complex. The media is as much saying it’s Star Wars rebranded
President Donald Trump’s flurry of executive orders to kick off his second term sought to transform the United States – and also to shield it from nuclear attacks.
– “The Iron Dome for America” – directs the Pentagon to plan a “next generation missile defense shield” to guard against any threat from any foe. Trump’s order invokes former President Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative, which detractors labelled “Star Wars.”
But much like Reagan’s push for total nuclear defense, major technological and budgetary hurdles exist for Trump’s vision, and policymakers and experts disagree on its feasibility and whether investing in homeland missile defense makes Americans safer at all.
This isn’t to make American’s safer. It’s being done to further enrich the military industrial complex- writ large
An ‘aspirational’ plan
Trump‘s plan, which explicitly aims to expand missile defense to cover the U.S. homeland against all attacks, is “aspirational,” said Jon Ludwigson, director of the Government Accountability Office’s contracting and national security acquisitions team.
Reagan announced the other Star Wars March 23, 1983

It’s a foolproof plan, there will be no one left to complain about the ‘Iron Dome’s failure.
I think this might be a Yes and No matter.
The yes part is, Its probably a Compensation for stopping further funding of the Ukraine war.
The no part is, R&D maybe for better rocket propulsion tech and American Jobs.
… if we keep looking to arms proliferation as a source of job creation we will be forever locked in an escalating spiral of international confrontation. We must break with the past.
In this case its not really a source of job creation, but job retention and keeping that part of the cartel satisfied so it cooperates instead of resisting the current order.
When it comes to the forever locked in an escalating spiral of international confrontation. This might come over as a bit dark, but do people really care about the lives others when it does not benefit them in any way.
In the end the type of tools/weapons you use are nothing more than the honest unadulterated expression of what you think of others.
