Any sort of missile defence to defend an attack from Russia is just fanciful thinking, and even if it does work it won't defend against cruise missiles and it's easily countered. I think that the plan was to develop a defence against countries that may develop a small amount of not so technological advanced ballistic missiles, countries like Iran and North Korea.

dean9 Posted June 17, 2014 Author Posted June 17, 2014 Good job your link is from a source thats not anti American eh? do you really think that a story like this is reported at all in the good old u,s, of a ??. if it is it will be a small paragraph on page 40 of the new york times. even the Americans must be incensed by the total waste of that amount of money. well they have put a spin job and a half on this story!..... you would think everything is all fine and dandy. http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-missile-defense-20140615-story.html#page=1
Nagel Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I can't see the point in us having Polaris. Who would we ever use it against? We could never use it against a non-nuclear power as that would mean worldwide condemnation. We can't use it against any of the other nuclear powers as they would use theirs against us leading to most of our cities being destroyed. So what's the point?

Do you have anything to back that up or did you just make it up? Polaris wasnt a missile defence system, it was a deterrent. ---------- Post added 18-06-2014 at 01:06 ---------- I can't see the point in us having Polaris. Who would we ever use it against?

You miss the point of it being a deterrent.

Because I don't. My point was,that anyone with half a braincell can clearly see RT's agenda. I could randomly put the station on right now,and there would be a very high chance that the story at that moment,will be something about America doing something wrong (again).

That's the entire point, MAD deterrent. ---------- Post added 18-06-2014 at 07:31 ---------- Is it any surprise to find out that this is a waste of time and money?...http://rt.com/usa/166612-missile-defense-times-mda/ the Polaris billions spring to mind !!:loopy: The story is misleading, it hasn't been declared operational and is still under development.
