24. even if it worked it can't work
That is even if missile defense was capable of hitting a missile shot at us it will not make us one whit safer. Any nation that shot a missile at us conveniently leaves a trail back to it's launch site. No country could launch a missile or a few missiles without the expectation that we would annihilate the sender of the missiles. What leader of a country would launch missiles knowing their country would cease to exist?

How many countries have a capability to launch missiles at us? only two, China and Russia. Russia has more then enough missiles to overwhelm any system we could currently deploy. China has only a couple of dozen nukes. It could easily deploy more and is likely to do so if they feel our "missile defense shield" has any hope of working.


This is and has always been about feeding the military industrial complex, nothing more and nothing less.
