The US Golden Dome missile-defense system, designed to protect against ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles, is under fire from Democrats and arms-control advocates. Critics warn it could cost over $1 trillion in 20 years, potentially trigger a new nuclear arms race, and still fail to stop a devastating nuclear strike. The Pentagon seeks $25 billion for early capabilities, while the Congressional Budget Office estimates much higher long-term costs. The debate highlights tensions between defense spending opportunities and political, technical, and budget risks ahead.
