If nuclear weopens are no longer a deterrant (the shield thing kills the detterant arguement ) then won't the shield actually encourage growth of nuclear weopens production by americas enemies and (current) allies to dodge the shield, in the event of a war?
If there is a nuclear war, won't america simply have thousands upon thousands more nuclear weapons shot at it, to overwhelm the sheild?
In short... is the whole shield thing worth tearing up the quiet understanding between america and other nuke nations, while destroying the deterrant aspect of nukes (which they were designed for) and creating massive political fallout and hostility in americas friends or old adversaries - whilst also actualy raising the possibility that more nukes will fall on america?
