 Costs Of Cruise Missile Defense May Top Benefits, Suggests CBO

“We’re not going to be able to defend every acre of North America," Tom Karako, director of the Missile Defense Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), says bluntly.
By   Theresa Hitchens on February 10, 2021 at 4:11 PM
 

WASHINGTON: Building a new defensive network against cruise missiles could cost anywhere between $75 billion to $465 billion over 20 years, depending on whether the goal is to protect selected high-value facilities or the entire US.

Those are the findings of a new study by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). The cost estimates include $13 billion to $97 billion for initial acquisition and $700 million to $18 billion per year for operation and support, as well as additional costs to replace systems that wear out or are lost to accidents.

The report, National Cruise Missile Defense: Issues and Alternatives, raises questions about the cost-effectiveness of a “wide-area” defense capability.

Did the CBO recommend what parts of the US and the people living therein are expendable?

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

The Russians were scared to death of the American CRUISE MISSLES.  As many of our most effective weapons that the Russians were deathly scared of, democrats have moved to eradicate them. Like napalm,mines, SR-71s, A-10 and such,just off the top of my head.  Even the American military in general, thanx to Obama/Biden.

It seems like every ship that comes out of the yards, is no good with major, major problems.  How can anyone build an aircraft carrier and not notice it has no weapons elevators?  It defies the imagination.  Has the military checked to see if these yards might not be wholly owned subsidiaries of Chinese firms? :pondering:
