Tell me again why the Soviet Union fell?
It was the classic problem of guns vs. butter.
The US president, Ronald Regan, was committed to missile defense.
As the Soviets tried to keep up, their people had no bread on the table, no heat for their homes, their infrastructure crumbling, pensioners didn't get paid, working scientists didn't get paid, eventually it all fell apart.
Could that happen to us in the United States?
No, our economy can afford guns and butter.
I heard about the Satan II launch, will we be able to stop it?
Sure, we just need an entirely new class of interceptor!
How long would it take to build said interceptor?
We've been working on the current ones for 20 years.
So we have those perfected?
We're working on it.
That sounds familiar?
Nah, entirely different.
