re: #511 Obdicut

And the concept of intercepting ICBMs in mass numbers is impossible.

Then it seems like you don’t understand the concepts. It’s like saying that developing skill hitting a baseball makes you better at hockey because they both involve hitting things with sticks.

Please try not to confuse our differing views with a lack of understanding on my part. You had NIKE wrong. You had to admit that yes certain tech carried forward from SDI, again later (thankfully) furthered by the Clinton administration. Investments continue because of the validity of the concept.

Stopping thousands of warheads is impossible. How does that make stopping some a bad idea? (Rhetorical it does not) The money argument is the usual lives vs defense costs argument. Some day more nations will have ICBM. Will they have thousands? Prolly not.
