For all those third world countries who think starving and repressing their people in order to build a nuke or two makes them big shots on the world stage, think again.

In the not too distant future, the US will surely have some form of Ballistic Missile System deployed. To be sure, it won’t protect against massive strikes from a country with piles of intercontinental ballistic missiles like Russia. But, the tin horn despots who have a dozen or so will feel impotent again. :crying:

Cool!

Since the Europeans figure they can export whatever they want to China, and the Pakistanis can sell nuke parts to anybody, we should be able to sell this right? Orders from Japan, South Korea, India and Israel sounds right eh? Should help pay for the thing...
