Bloomberg: Why the "Golden Dome" Could Make America Less Safe Building such a dome presents immense technical challenges. There are also warnings about its economic costs and potential conflicts of interest, such as major contracts potentially going to SpaceX, which is under Musk's control. However, we focus here on the strategic implications of the "Golden Dome." To start with, let’s discuss what’s known as the "security dilemma," a problem faced by all major powers (and even smaller ones), regardless of whether they possess nuclear weapons. In order to make itself safer, Country A develops a new defense system, which inadvertently makes Country B feel less secure, prompting B to strengthen its armed forces or escalate confrontation, thereby increasing the threat facing A. In the worst-case scenario, A and B could spiral into a war, making both sides more vulnerable, if not leading to their destruction. Even short of that, any large-scale new weapons system, whether offensive or defensive in nature, inherently carries instability.
