Does America need an Iron Dome also?

Since when have we, the greatest superpower the world has ever known, acquired a persecution complex? The Trump military defense initiative, the Golden Dome, for shooting down a nuclear first strike on the US mainland, is projected to cost taxpayers $175 billion. The Pentagon has been tasked to develop and complete the project, even if it is half-assed, within three years before Trump leaves office in January 2029. It is going to be another feather in Trump's cap regardless of its relevance to Americans' welfare and well-being.

The nuclear deterrent was our protection against the Soviet Union back in the days of the Cold War. No one else had the capability to harm us. National security, to us Americans, had always been about being the top dog in the pack. We dominated the world after the collapse of the Soviet Union. We were the largest economy by far compared to any other nation on the planet. We had no peer, and our blue water navy ruled the seas. We had technological superiority, and the US Dollar financed international trade. We could destroy any nation with economic sanctions alone.
