Washington, DC. Trump: “We will build a huge Iron Dome over our country, a dome the likes of which have never been seen before.“ A state-of-the-art missile defense shield that will be built entirely in America and give everyone jobs, jobs, jobs. Israel has such a dome. Why don’t we have it?“ NB: Trump pulled out the ancient idea of “Umbrella [Shield] Missile Defense“ from a dusty chest. The term was first used in 1983 when Reagan announced the Strategic Defense Initiative. See the 1985 cartoon. The initiative, dubbed “Star Wars” in the media, remained an initiative. However, it brought the arms race to a new level and directly influenced disarmament negotiations with the USSR and the outcome of the Cold War. Source: Victor vicktop55
