That's what I was saying with the second bolded part. The best defence against nuclear arms is nuclear arms. And the best offence against a nation with nuclear arms is to develop protection from nuclear arms. I was trying to say that the missile shield is just as much an offensive move as securing nuclear weapons is a defensive one. If you were a nation that saw the weapon shield as a U.S. move to tip the balance of a nuclear stalemate, why wouldn't you seek to re-establish that stalemate to defend your nation? |
But is the best way to do that...
A) Stopping defense shields from being made.
or
B) Making some yourself.
Worst case of A, everyone dies. Worst case of B, the shields fail and maybe some die.
