The proposed Golden Dome missile defense system by President Trump aims to shield the U.S. from diverse missile threats but poses significant strategic concerns. Numerous studies indicate that achieving effective defense is likely unattainable, as advanced countermeasures used by adversaries could undermine its efficacy. Furthermore, historical data suggests that such defenses can actually make nations less safe from nuclear aggression. International response includes critical warnings from Russia and China about destabilization and increased arms racing prompted by initiatives like Golden Dome, reflecting a widely shared concern among these nations.
Strategic missile defenses, particularly the Golden Dome, have a documented history of making their host countries less safe from nuclear attack, despite their intended protective measures.
The ambitious goals of the Golden Dome system are likely unattainable, with studies indicating that it will be far more costly and less effective than anticipated.
Warnings from Russian and Chinese leadership indicate that missile defense initiatives like Golden Dome could destabilize global strategic stability and prompt an arms race.
Countermeasures employed by adversaries—such as multiple warheads and decoys—render missile defense systems like Golden Dome less effective, casting doubt on their operational reliability.
