It gets the gravy-train rollin' [more] for the defense contractors who own the politicians who approve these things.
It keeps the general populace afraid there will be war[s] galore and even nuclear war.
Even if it were to defend [sic] against Chinese missiles - which I doubt - it wouldn't work. There is no defense against a determined nuclear attack - only world peace and universal nuclear disarmament. There are submarine, satellite and backpack delivery systems. One could even put a few in the ubiquitous shipping containers from China, set to blow when near a city center.....this is as fake as 'star wars' as far as effectiveness...and if it has ANY military 'logic' [an oxymoronic statement] it is going to be turned for offensive purposes - or used to hide more black budget items, IMO.
Meanwhile, back in reality of 99.9% of the World's population, people are hungry, unsheltered, poor, needing healthcare, the Planet's ecosystem is dying, neo-fascism is growing like weeds many places [including the Western Beast and Niew Heimat], etc. and all 'they' can think to spend their time, money, and energies on is more militarism!!!??? :flute:
