Noam Chomsky has been talking about this for a while. He gave a talk at Harvard* that discussed the threat of terminal war and mentioned this in his talk. Some might claim that 3x stronger hard-kill power is a stronger deterrent and can allow us to retire the land based ICBMs. It can also ratchet up tensions, and I'm going to lol all the way to the bank if the military gives up a huge source of funding. Inter-branch competition has
been that way since the inception of the nuclear program. Capabilities have been replicated wastefully at various points to keep people happy. https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4675156/noam-chomsky-requiem-... EDIT: It was actually at the unitarian church outside of Harvard. |
