President Donald J. Trump has formally introduced plans to construct a next-generation missile protection system. He’s calling it the “Golden Dome,” and I, for one, couldn’t be extra thrilled to see American tax {dollars} going towards defending America for a change.
Unveiled this week, alongside Protection Secretary Pete Hegseth, the Golden Dome is a $175 billion undertaking geared toward doing one thing the Biden regime by no means prioritized: defending the U.S. homeland from a international assault. And get this—it’s anticipated to be totally operational by the top of Trump’s time period. That’s what actual management appears like.
Based on Trump, this dome will be capable to intercept something—hypersonic missiles, ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, even missiles launched from the opposite facet of the world or from house. That’s not simply nationwide protection. That’s next-level deterrence.
If the concept sounds acquainted, it’s as a result of Ronald Reagan as soon as dreamed of it. His Strategic Protection Initiative—mocked by the left as “Star Wars”—was a daring imaginative and prescient that by no means obtained the complete help it deserved. Trump is lastly making that dream a actuality.
The identify is a patriotic play on Israel’s Iron Dome, which has saved numerous lives. Trump’s model? Larger, higher, and targeted on our homeland. The primary $25 billion to fund this undertaking is tucked into Trump’s “One Huge, Lovely Invoice” presently being debated within the Home.
That’s some huge cash up entrance, however in the long term, it’s an important deal, as a result of it’ll inevitably reduce down on the necessity for international intervention. For many years, Washington has funneled trillions into international wars primarily based on the concept “we’ve got to struggle them over there, or we’ll struggle them right here.” That logic has value us far too many American lives, plagued our financial system, and demolished public belief in practically each establishment in Washington. However with Trump’s Golden Dome—and his rock-solid border insurance policies—it’s arduous to think about a hypothetical battle that might attain our soil from a international land. The DC gross sales pitch for infinite battle has been dismantled!
Predictably, the standard suspects are upset. China says they’re “significantly involved” and warns that the Golden Dome may “undermine international strategic stability.”
Good! Possibly they need to be extra involved about not launching missiles within the first place.
The Golden Dome is proof that America First isn’t only a slogan. It’s a method. It’s a defend. And it’s the very definition of peace by means of energy (and sure, I’ve that tattooed on my arm in Latin, as a result of I’ve all the time cherished that.)
