Trump Wants Iron Dome For U.S., Is This Necessary?

Following his re-election, President Trump has proposed expanding missile defense systems like Israel’s Iron Dome to the United States. His rationale is that, with growing threats to American security both from international actors and domestic terrorism, a robust defense against rocket and missile attacks could be crucial. However, critics question whether such an expensive and specific system is needed for a country like the U.S., especially considering the high cost and the different nature of threats facing the country compared to Israel. Do you think adopting the Iron Dome system is necessary for U.S. defense, or is it an overreach?


Yes

It is.


No

It isn’t.
