CIWS is actually very good at blowing up missiles by the amazingly high-tech tactic of shooting so many bullets in so short a time as to effectively construct a solid wall for the missile to hit some distance away from the ship

there's basically nothing you can do about ICBMs which is why that's the direction they took

ICBMs roll around at like 7km a second, the ABSOLUTE BEST of the best normie anti-ship missiles are a bit over 2, with most being an 1/8th of that

At any point in the last century we could have probably cut the bullshit, retooled the American economy for war, and had a re-run of World War 2.

But nowadays we've closed down and outsourced so much infrastructure and institutional knowledge, could we even do a war economy anymore?

money lol, like a single suicide run bomber taking out a single city could cripple most of our air fleet because it's so spread out and highly specialized because it is built to suit contractors and pork barrel politicians and not actually effectively waging war

"Oh, this one part that costs 3 million dollars and must be replaced every flight is only made in one factory in one city in one state? Well let's blow up that city"

I was super disappointed when I found out that they don't really track and shoot down missles as much as "Shoot so much poo poo into the air that some of it is bound to hit something."

A lot of the MIC contractors have requirements that their parts need to be sourced inside the country. Even down to stuff like nuts and bolts.

BUT a whole bunch of our high tech stuff relies on raw materials that aren't really present in the US. Rare earth elements, titanium, and even aluminum just aren't here.

The biggest impediment to actually doing that is that the whole MIC is a giant scam run by companies selling things that don't work, take decades to develop, and cost exorbitant amounts of money.

I'm not even clear if declaring an emergency means that the shutdown would end

The theory is that the national emergency will be used to start construction/funding for the wall. Then Congress can pass a budget w/o wall money since it doesn't matter any more. It's a stupid theory, but that doesn't mean Trump (or his advisors) won't actually try it.
