When trump said the United States has the ability to win any nuclear arms race, and should therefore welcome any challenges to a nuclear race as an desirable opportunity to modernize our nuclear arsenal, was he aware that the loser in the nuclear arms race can still easily and completely erase the United States and the trump property empire from the world map?
Furthermore, defeating ballistic missile defense is far cheaper and easier than maintaining an effective missile defense. Russian retains by far the greatest technical expertise required to defeat US ballistic missile defense, and any outright arms race only magnify the possibility that Russia would disseminate anti- missile shield technology to other states and make the vastly costly and marginally effective US ballistic missile defense not credible even against North Korea and Iran?
