What I wouldn’t give for a federal government run by educated adults.
And it will be fully paid for by taxes, while only getting finished as much as his wall.
That’s okay, it’s just a scheme to redistribute tax dollars to his friends anyway. Even he doesn’t expect the Golden Dome to actually work.
Or it will be just like the wall, do some small sections and abandon it.
It really is the perfect name for the program. Gold: excessively expensive, soft and easily broken, heavy and unwieldy. A terrible material to make a shield out of.
He wants a new space based technology that hasn’t been developed. These would be some crazy complex satellites and a bunch of them.
Nothing more than a tax payer handout to defense contractors. This program will never happen and all that money will just go into a black hole as a gift for the appropriate fealty given to Trump.
Adjusted for inflation? The Manhattan project was 2bln in the 1940’s. Considering the current defence budget this is a drop in the bucket.
It literally won’t happen I bet. This is all pandering to the half of America that’s paranoid
Won’t work, and will make problem worse by contravening existing treaties.
Don’t worry, „insert other countries name here“ will pay for it.
Is that what we are calling that rug on the top of his head now?
Fun question time! “What two things ruined the USSR?” Well, they denied their people a decent life by over spending and corruption, mainly through their military. Have fun, kids and see you next week for the next episode of “How fucked are we, actually?”
The Golden Dome in all likelihood will be a weapon plateform design to do multiple things with the main responsibility being missile interception. The Manhattan project is a very narrowed specific project about just creating the bomb. The right compaison would be to add all the nuclear lauching systems from silos and booster program in ground based to air boosters and lauching platform for air delivery and of course underwater booster platform for sub system.
Do people actually think this is anything other than a bribe/money laundering?
And wont deal with modern warfare only now old military tactics…
*IF* it works I would consider that to be money well spent. I’d much rather direct bloated government spending to advancing science and true defense than destroying and rebuilding countries on the other side of the world.
So Regan’s space lasers all over again. GOP love to waste money on weapons.
Congratulations on making SDI look like a cute, inexpensive little side project, but with the same results.
it will be just a slush fund and wont be completed.
And provide absolutely no benefit to anyone at all, ever. There is no doubt it’s just a way to funnel money to himself or people that paid for him to be in the position he is in
Imagine how much it would be if China decided to nuke us
Conservatives live their entire lives in fear of everything. How about using diplomacy and save us a few trillion dollars.
And do absolutely nothing we can’t already do w conventional defense.
Thank goodness he was elected so we can stop wasteful government spending.
He’s a moron.
I love these photos attached to articles showing it as an actual physical dome😂
With the engineering contracts sold to the newest investors in $TRUMP coin! They just so happened to also license naming rights for a series of hotels in third world countries!
Does he think they are building a literal dome over the US?
He thinks we going to build a fucking literal dome over the US…
It will change doctrine of mutual assured destruction, potentially raising risk of nuclear attack on USA
To be fair though, that is what it would cost if *California* were to build it.
What would be the appropriate cost to prevent NYC, Chicago, and LA from being turned into radioactive graveyards?
