If it’s supposed to defend against nukes, how will it stop a ship sailing into harbour? Or a mini sub? Not every big boom is a missile. He’ll, there’s always a truck with a big honkin’ pile of fertilizer a la Oklahoma City.

The correct comparison is to Reagan's Star Wars missile defense project in the 80s which was impossible to fund. We'd be better off developing and selling the products to smaller, richer nations that don't have the advantage of aircraft carriers.

Anyone with a basic understanding of the Iron Dome should be able to conclude that it is not a feasible defense solution for the United States.

We're just too damn big.
