Yo did you read this shyt? We spent 40billion dollars on some shyt that doesn't work b
The system has failed about half the time in tests that are scripted, Wright says — meaning those operating the missile defense system have information about the target they would not have in real life. In 2002, the program was exempted from normal testing and procurement standards so that it could be deployed faster.
The system has still not been tested against realistic targets such as tumbling warheads, warheads accompanied by credible decoys, or warheads traveling at speeds and from distances similar to that of incoming intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs)," the Union of Concerned Scientists report said. "Nearly 15 years after the GMD system was put on the fast track, the Pentagon's own testing officials have said the system has not demonstrated an operationally useful capability to defend the U.S. public from a missile attack."
I can't comprehend how this could be.
The same way a human can parry attacks from an assailant or a dog can catch a rabbit there is no reason we shouldn't have an adequate working missile defense system.
Too much time, money and research is put into OFFENSIVE strategies this is the core problem.
For every TEN scientist or technologist staffed to develop and innovate offensively there is probably just ONE dedicated to Defense.
The U.S. and overall Western mentality is always about conquering and never about preservation. Wasn't the whole purpose of trillions of dollars spent on state-of-the-art satellite systems since the 60's for DEFENSIVE AND DETECTION CAPABILITY????
Mutually Assured Destruction benefits no one. This is why nukes haven't been launched during the cold war. The point being that you are destroying perfectly good land and resources. If the U.S. is nuked by Russia for example you can guarantee at least 50% of the Russian population will STARVE AND DIE as a result of the chain economic effects that will happen as a result. Add another 25% who are hit by automatic retaliation missiles. Another 25% due to opportunistic invaders. You are basically left with 1-5% of the population. So what is the point.
Beef up the defense and stop antagonizing other countries. NO POINT IN WINNING WITH NO SPOILS TO REAP FROM....
