I think this is a great idea. After all, we have missile attacks on our nation all the fucking time. Wait…
Also, the "iron dome" only works because there's a very limited area that it protects. Israel: 8,630 square miles. USA: 3,809,525 square miles. Wait… changed my mind again. This is a great idea! Go orange man. Muricah. BOOM!
Remember, the usa is too big for trains, but rockets are fine. Fucking idiots
We can't have trains because Elon is going to build some stupid underground shit. Wait, he didn't do that.
Yeah. That's one of like 5 fatal problems with it.
Another one being that our whole approach is deterrence. No one is making continuous Israel-style rocket attacks on the continental US because their government, and possibly their country, would be no more after a week had passed after they'd done it. Although, give it a few years, and they might learn that it's okay.
Trump inhabits a world where people can take shots at you all the time, because no one respects you, and it hurts you, because you're fragile, and so you have to put up these absurd over-the-top defenses to it all the time or else you'll get crushed by the wailing, painful weight of it all. I suspect that somewhere in his affinity for this solution is that he projects that kind of model even onto geopolitics, when the US military has an infinitely better model for dealing with the threatening actors it has to contend with.
