Golden Dome Panned by Russia, China, North Korea
A long time ago in an Administration far, far away
Russia, China, North Korea condemn Trump’s $175 billion Golden Dome missile shield
US foes call Trump’s Golden Dome ‘arrogant’

The U.S.’s chief adversaries, Russia, North Korea and China, all of which are nuclear-armed nations, have condemned President Donald Trump’s space-based defensive plan he dubbed the “Golden Dome” as “dangerous” and a threat to global stability.
The president discussed his $175 billion plan, which will use satellites and other technologies to detect and intercept a missile strike “even if they are launched from other sides of the world,” Trump said last week.
The defensive plan, though it is believed to be years away before being fully operational despite Trump’s three-year goal mark, sparked stiff backlash from the U.S.’s top competitors, who took direct aim at what they called Trump’s “arrogance.”

…Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning said last week, “The project will heighten the risk of turning space into a war zone and creating a space arms race, and shake the international security and arms control system.”
The lady doth protest too much, methinks. Remember how The Gipper brought the Soviet Union to its financial knees in part by vying with our Star Wars technology, way back then?
Super-size that and color it gold. Small wonder there’s grumblings from Xi and Vlad. They simply can’t compete, and they know it.
On a side note, be happy you are not a North Korean marine engineer. Lil’ Kim is not happy with the launch of his new toy.
