China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran are investing in ways to nuke us. The time is now for missile defense

At the height of the Cold War, President Ronald Reagan had the foresight to call upon the nation to support the Strategic Defense Initiative, later known as the "Star Wars" defense system, to protect the United States from a potential USSR missile attack.

Due to fierce Democrat opposition, our nation never fully built out our missile defense capability and doubled down on nuclear deterrence. We have relied upon our adversaries’ fear that our nuclear weapons could destroy them to deter their use of nuclear weapons against us or our allies. The result has been that our cities and populace remain unprotected from a nuclear attack from Russia or China.

Today, China, Russia, North Korea and Iran continue to invest in technologies to expand their capabilities to hit the United States with nuclear weapons. All four countries have also escalated their threatening rhetoric, indicating their willingness to use nuclear weapons in a military conflict. By expanding their nuclear programs, each has made clear that our nuclear arsenal is no longer a deterrent to their potential use of nuclear weapons................

First strike targets will likely not be all the major cities, but parts of Montana and North Dakota, to wipe out our retaliatory capability. Key communications assets will likely be on the list also, to try to screw up any SSBN/SSGN response. One more reason we don't need the Chinese buying up farmland near our military installations (so they can spy on us).
