The author (a Harvard University professor) of this article seems to be a mouthpiece of a stooge for Putin the Terrible and Xi Jinping!
He seems to be awfully stuck in Cold War thinking! However, he apparently did not understand that President Reagan's peace through strength helped to bring down the USSR and end the Cold War. The USSR was too dilapidated by communism to be able to compete. Russia under former KGB agent Putin the Terrible does not look much better!
He believes, among other things, that the Golden Dome would trigger another arms race. China and Russia would develop more offensive systems and so on.
First of all, a missile defense system is a defensive measure and can not be used offensively. This professor seems to ignore that fact!
Very likely, the aging Putin the Terrible (age 72) will not survive the Russo-Ukrainian War. Will the next Russian president be as belligerent and megalomaniac as Putin the Terrible? Maybe not!
"... I’m a national security and foreign policy professor at Harvard University, where I lead “Managing the Atom,” the university’s main research group on nuclear weapons and nuclear energy policies. For decades, I’ve been participating in dialogues with Russian and Chinese nuclear experts – and their fears about U.S. missile defenses have been a consistent theme throughout. ...
Trump’s goals for Golden Dome are likely beyond reach. A wide range of studies makes clear that even defenses far more limited than what Trump envisions would be far more expensive and less effective than Trump expects, especially against enemy missiles equipped with modern countermeasures. Countermeasures include multiple warheads per missile, decoy warheads and warheads that can maneuver or are difficult to track, among others. ..."
