Trump announces plan to build ‘impenetrable dome’ to protect US from nuclear threats
Former President Donald Trump recently announced he would build an ‘impenetrable dome’ over the United States if re-elected – to ‘protect our people’ from the alleged threat of nuclear attacks and World War III. world.
“World War III would be a disaster like no other,” he said in the video posted Friday on his Truth Social platform. “That would make World War I and World War II very small battles. The best way to ensure such a conflict never occurs is to be prepared with unparalleled technology and unparalleled strength.
“When I’m Commander-in-Chief…I’ll be working with Congress and our top military leaders — not the ones you see on TV, I don’t consider them leaders,” he continued. We will work with them to build a state-of-the-art, next-generation missile shield.
Trump then claimed that “the world has become much more dangerous” under President Joe Biden and that any discussion of the “deadly threat” of nuclear war, as an alleged result of the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian conflict, has been tabled. by the current administration.
“The word ‘nuclear’ comes up all the time,” Trump said. “That’s a word you’re not allowed to use. It was never used under the Trump administration, but now other countries are using that word against us because they have no respect for our leadership.
Trump added that nuclear and hypersonic missiles could “wipe out entire cities and even countries” if Russian President Vladimir Putin chose to step up aggression against Ukraine and its NATO allies – and the construction of ‘an iron domed system is now essential.
“America must have an impenetrable dome to protect our people,” he said. “We worked with Israel to develop this dome…We have unparalleled technology, but our former leaders didn’t really want to use it…Now we have to take that extra step.”
After praising his efforts to “completely” rebuild the U.S. military, the twice-impeached former president — whose campaign promise to fortify the U.S.-Mexico border has become a costly failure — said the Space Force would have a ” vital role to play”.
“Just as I rebuilt our military, especially our nuclear capabilities, I will build the shield to defend America against missile attack,” Trump said before adding. “We will have peace through strength.”
Trump announced his race in November and is heading to two early voting states on Saturday.
Since announcing his candidacy in November, Trump is expected to launch his 2024 White House bid on Saturday with the first campaign stops. He is scheduled as a keynote speaker at events in New Hampshire and South Carolina – two early voting states.
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Putin’s Security Council, recently wrote on Telegram that “the defeat of a nuclear power in a conventional war can trigger a nuclear war”, according to Reuters. Putin himself echoed this idea in December.
“As for the idea that Russia would in no way use these weapons first, that means that we would not be able to be the second to use them either – because the possibility of doing so in the event of attack on our territory would be very limited,” Putin said, per CNN.
The United States is nonetheless committed to supporting Ukraine in the conflict – which is approaching its first year.
“Putin has no intention – no intention to stop this cruel war,” Biden said in December. “And the United States is determined to ensure that the brave people of Ukraine can continue – to continue to defend their country against Russian aggression for as long as it takes.”
