Missile Defense Shield

Is a Missile Defense Shield Really Necessary?
With the U.S. Congress seeking ways cut the budget for defense, a missile defense shield often comes up for discussion. The Cold War is over, do we really need the benefit of a missile defense shield over America to protect against intercontinental ballistic missiles from Russia or any other perceived threat? Does it make sense to invest resources into a missile defense shield that might never be used? These are valid questions, but consider the facts of the state of affairs throughout the world today, especially in the Middle East and in Russia.

A Missile Defense Shield to Protect Against Rogue Nation Attacks
Iran's threat is that they will wipe Israel off the face of the earth. To achieve this, they are aggressively pursuing a nuclear program. They deny they are seeking nuclear weapons, but the opinions of the U.S., EU, and others believe differently. Iran does have long-range ballistic missiles capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. Furthermore, they are developing relationships with North Korea and Russia to provide them with the materials and knowledge necessary to produce this type of weapon. With help from these two nations, it may be possible for Iran to have a functioning nuclear weapon within a few short years.

The United States has to act now to protect ourselves, our troops around the globe, and our allies. Missile defense shield's around the globe in the form of ground-based systems, sea-based systems, and as President Ronald Reagan proposed, space-based systems are increasingly becoming necessary to provide the level of protection we need in the United States against any threat that might reach our shores in the form of a ballistic missile with a nuclear, chemical, or biological warhead attached to it.

Missile Defense Shields a Major Part of the NATO Objectives
NATO has recognized that missile defense shields throughout Europe will actually help to protect and bring together the nations involved. They have determined that supporting missile installations in Europe is complementary to their own objectives of missile defense. While the U.S. is about to place 10 long-range missile defense installations in Poland, and a radar in the Czech Republic, NATO is developing plans to complement that system with short-range missile defense systems.

Missile Defense Shields are Effective and Reliable
The argument that missile defense shields are not accurate or reliable is simply not true. The U.S. has multiple missile defense shields in place which have proven in test after test their reliability and accuracy. Hit-to-kill technology is common in many of the missile defense shields in place right now. View the videos below to see the effectiveness of these types of missile defense shields.





Missile Defense Shields Bring Stability to Nations
It is a myth that missile defense brings instability. The opposite is true. Installing missile defense shields brings stability to nations and a sense of protection against enemies seeking to destroy. In contrast, installing traditional missile installations with the purpose to launch warhead equipped missiles toward any target brings about great instability in a region. Nations feel at ease and at peace with missile defense installations in place. They feel uneasy and nervous with warhead equipped ballistic missiles placed in neighboring countries.
