We live in a dangerous world where rogue nations are developing longer range missiles. We have to make a strong effort at developing defenses against this threat.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We've gotten a long way on missile defense. We know how to do it. We know how to take down incoming warheads, but we need to do a lot more work in order to be - to deploy a system that'll defend the United States against those kinds of limited strikes that might be possible by a nuclear armed North Korea or Iran.
America needs to be defended. We need missile defense to better police the skies over the United States.
We will strengthen our security by building missile defense, restoring our military might, and standing by and strengthening our intelligence officers.
Nato allies have been looking at various missile-defence options for some time. Nato itself is developing protections for our deployed troops.
National Missile Defense is of a nature to retrigger a proliferation of weapons, notably nuclear missiles. Everything that goes in the direction of proliferation is a bad direction.
The U.S. has many vulnerable targets around Iran, and its bases are within the range of the Guards' missiles. We have other capabilities as well, particularly when it comes to the support of Muslims for the Islamic republic.
We can be just as safe with a smaller, more efficient nuclear arsenal at less cost.
We still need to be conscious of the fact that Russia has intercontinental ballistic missiles.
We're like Iraq. We're hiding missiles. We've got two missiles in reserve.
I support development and deployment of a limited national missile defense. Few if any of our duties surpass our obligation to provide for the common defense of our nation.
