A Townsend Inlet Spouter recently published a Spout regarding the lack of a viable missle defense system protecting the US. Several repliers suggested the Spout was incorrect, one even referring to a nonexistent shield that Reagan used to intimidate the Soviets. In fact , the Spouter was correct . We have no “ invisible protective shield “ that will block incoming ICBM’s. The American people apparently have a false sense of security regarding a missle attack. Billions sent overseas for years and recently to Ukraine and Israel could have protected America. Sleep well.
