Has... Has she actually read history?
Iron Dome is as destabilizing for the region as any offensive weapon.
If you dont believe me, look up SDI in 1983.
The same reasons SDI was a destabilizing forse applies to Iron Dome.
In general, there is no meaningful difference between a “defensive” arms race and an “offensive” one. George W Bush’s exit from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty led directly to nuclear proliferation and acute risk of war. When one side has a more effective missile defense system, the other side gets nervous, making things more dangerous for everyone, not less. Russia probably wouldn’t have hypersonic missiles today if it weren’t for the US advancing its missile defenses.
She doesn't care. Her job is to stand firmly on the left flank of the Democratic party and shame anyone who tries to move even an inch further left.
I misread "shame" as "shank" and it works even better
of course not. if she had she wouldn't be a liberal
and beyond that like the cost for munitions is fungible, if you're NOT SPENDING on iron dome shit, you have MORE MONEY for your "genocide weapons" (tm)? like this is first grade shit
