Missile defense would have worked. Forget the Democrat's attempts to trivialize it by calling it Star Wars. It would have worked. It wouldn't have cost a trillion dollars ( nor anywhere near that ) and it wouldn't have caused a "space war". It may well have achieved Reagan's dream of making nuclear missiles obsolete.
Instead of that, our government decided to kill the program, which left us vulnerable to an attack. The Russians made it clear that they may well attempt to do just that if they think they can get away with it. Hopefully, they won't ever be, but why take that chance?
This one goes into the list of major governmental failures. Nixon killed off the nuclear rocket, Saturn V, and molten-salt reactors. Clinton killed off missile defense. Obama is trying to kill off coal and fracking.
Maybe we can fight the Russians with rocks while we freeze in the dark.
