Investing?

 

China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran are investing in ways to nuke us. 

The time is now for missile defense

They already have ways.

Right now.

Today.

"Our nuclear arsenal is no longer a deterrent to nuclear attack"

(Exactly what weapon system(s) 

has ever keep anybody from attacking forever?

I'll be waiting, got a chair etc...)

"We have relied upon our adversaries’ fear that our nuclear weapons could destroy them to deter their use of nuclear weapons against us or our allies. The result has been that our cities and populace remain unprotected from a nuclear attack from Russia or China."

(I said a lil while back our country is the biggest sitting duck there ever has been.)

"Today, China, Russia, North Korea and Iran continue to invest in technologies to expand their capabilities to hit the United States with nuclear weapons. All four countries have also escalated their threatening rhetoric, indicating their willingness to use nuclear weapons in a military conflict. By expanding their nuclear programs, each has made clear that our nuclear arsenal is no longer a deterrent to their potential use of nuclear weapons."

"If deterrence is dead, then the concept of mutually assured destruction is obsolete and comprehensive missile defense must be revisited as an essential capability to protect our citizens."

(You really think we gonna have time for all that?

I sure don't.)

"Unlike in Reagan’s era, threats are now omnipresent and coming from all directions."

"Near-peer threats present a more systemic challenge than attacks from rogue states. Russia’s ICBM force consists of 310 missiles that can carry upwards of 1,189 warheads. Recent assessments indicate the Russians have stockpiled up to 2,000 tactical nuclear weapons."

 "According to Pentagon analysis, the Chinese Communist Party will likely have a stockpile of nearly 1,500 warheads by 2035 if it continues with its current nuclear buildout and now has more ICBM launchers than the United States. China is also developing a land-attack cruise missile designed to be fired from a launcher disguised as a commercial shipping container."

"The consequences of these policy decisions are a current missile defense posture that can sense threats from North Korea and Iran but not China or Russia. It employs a variety of ground, air and sea-based sensor systems to intercept at the midcourse and terminal flight phases, but it is not capable of countering the next generation of nuclear threats, some of which are deployable now."

"With political and financial fortitude, we can protect our sovereignty and citizens."

(Yeah...dont hold your breath...)
