strategic offensive forces, could prevent this dangerous imbalance. A robust missile defense system would deter Chinese aggression and protect American citizens from nuclear threats.
In conclusion, the construction of an American national missile defense system is imperative to prevent the coercive power of Chinese, Russian, and North Korean nuclear missiles. This defense shield could reduce the chances of World War III and revive nuclear reduction diplomacy. Despite Chinese opposition to such initiatives in the past, the growing nuclear capabilities of China highlight the urgent need for a strong missile defense system to safeguard national security.
Redefining strategic and regional nuclear forces—aimed at balancing Chinese and Russian nuclear offensive capabilities along with their national missile defenses—could help achieve the equilibrium sought by Reagan four decades ago, ultimately working towards neutralizing the escalating nuclear arms race.
Given the refusal of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea to engage in nuclear weapons controls, instead opting to bolster their nuclear arsenals, Trump’s pledge to establish an “iron dome missile defense” is now a crucial step for national security.
If executed swiftly, despite opposition from hostile dictatorships and domestic critics, Trump’s “iron dome missile defense” could also pave the way for a resurgence in nuclear arms control efforts, potentially setting the stage for genuine, verifiable reductions in nuclear weaponry.
