Greg Mello, director of the Los Alamos Study Group, which studies the US nuclear arsenal, stated that none of the current US or other countries’ missile defense systems are capable of countering Russian non-ballistic nuclear weapons.

According to him, the US initiative to create the Golden Dome system is technically unfeasible. Mello noted that Russia possesses weapons such as the Poseidon underwater drone, hypersonic missiles, and cruise missiles, which are specifically designed to overcome missile defense systems.

He emphasized that instead of fanciful projects like Golden Dome, real arms control measures are needed to ensure mutual security.

    I swear to fucking god if they do this, actually name it “Golden Dome,” so I have to think about this fascist piece of orange shit every time it is mentioned, for years to come, I’m going to lose it.

    I just want nothing more than to never have to read about this piece of human detritus ever again.

      Just wait until the ballroom is built. It’s like half the size of the fucking white house and will forever taint the iconic view.
