I was totally unaware that Europe was planning concerted military attacks on the USA.
I do not see why they would, since it is in their best interests to just sit back, letting us self-destruct from overspending and loss of value of our currency, massive unchecked invasions of illegals, unchecked corruption at all levels of government, unemployment from sending all our jobs and the associated confidential and proprietary information overseas, deliberate distortion of the Constitution's clear message on how to make a great nation, dumbing down education to hold back everybody to match the lowest levels, and many like things that sap the resources, nay, even the lifeblood, of our country.
Then, like vultures, the world can descend on us and pick the meat from our bones and discard the rest.
How would a Strategic Defense Initiative help prevent our downfall? Might even hasten it by giving people a false sense of something worthwhile being done! Or inviting a preemptive attack by exposing our current and developing weaknesses.
I think it would just become another sinkhole for funds, making some politicians and their friends rich, but really doing nothing effective. Kill another major forest for the paperwork!
We'd be better off not to speed the inevitable by making it obvious we fear it, but instead to make some friends to fall back on. That is even Biblical, in the parable of the bad servant!

And just btw, in response to another responder, are we not likely to need all the nukes in the world to deflect those incoming asteroids nobody but astronomers are yet really thinking about?? Big nukes are about the world's only defense, and have to be placed in time. Too little, too late, and SDIs and all will have little worth, not even a memory. |

You need not, that will be the misuse of the resources.Think of bringing about peace allover the world. Think of starting to destroy weapons of mass destruction like nuclear.If all the weapons are destroyed, America will be safer, probably than an other time in history. |
