War on the Rocks Warns Golden Dome Missile Defense Is Destabilizing and Dangerous

1 reports1 sources11/5/2026 updated

Current overview (not historical)

AI overview

War on the Rocks published an analysis arguing that the Golden Dome proposal seeks comprehensive missile defense but cannot effectively intercept long-range ballistic missiles. The outlet said the plan could push adversaries to deploy more nuclear weapons and raise the risk of nuclear war. The article estimated construction costs at hundreds of billions to trillions of dollars. It also noted that since February 2026, the United States and Russia are no longer constrained by the New START treaty. Deploying boost-phase intercept defenses, the analysis warned, would make crises faster and more automated and could trigger nuclear war.
