Foreign media reported today (May 21): "Breaking news: US President Trump unveiled the plan to build a large-scale missile defense system to protect the United States. The project is similar to Ronald Reagan's failed 'Star Wars' plan, and experts said that the cost of the project might be billions of dollars depending on how it is implemented." (Fig. 1)
Trump said today: "Once fully completed, the Golden Dome will be able to intercept missiles from other parts of the world and even from space." (Fig. 2)
[Smart Comment]: Despite strong opposition, the US military-industrial complex has shown great interest in the Golden Dome project, as if they see a huge gold mine shining before their eyes, because this will bring them immeasurable profits. However, from a realistic perspective, does the United States really need to cover itself tightly with such a huge 'lid' like a frightened child? Geographically speaking, the United States is located between two oceans and adjacent to friendly countries such as Canada and Mexico. This unique geographical location seems not to require such a large and complex missile defense system for additional security.
