A well-rounded Lesson on Defense and Arms Race

Those in the United States Congress that have their hollowed-out zombie heads filled with fluffed-up Judeo-Israeli propaganda about Israel’s needs to defend itself, must make it their duty to read the article that Professor David Kearn wrote under the title: “Don’t panic over China’s nuclear buildup,” published on October 21, 2021 in the New York Daily News.

 

This is a lesson that applies to China because it is what David Kearn meant it to be. But it is also a general sort of lesson that applies to every region on the globe because the concepts discussed in the article are universal. What renders the totality of these concepts a well-rounded discussion, is that they deal with the role which offensive weapons play, the role which defensive weapons play, and the paired relation that exists between the two.

 

A couple of the many false ideas, produced by the Judeo-Israeli propaganda machine, are debunked and refuted in the David Kearn article while he delivered a discussion that was directed at the China situation. (1) Israel needs a defensive shield to protect it against the rockets coming from Gaza and Lebanon, more than the latter two need defensive shields to protect them against Israel’s F-16 and F-35 warplanes. (2) It does Israel a great deal of good to be given weapons superior to those of its neighbors. Just as important is to have American officials say so openly.

 

What follow are 3 compilations, reproduced in condensed form, of what David Kearn has said with regard to the relevant subjects that apply equally to the situation which exists between America and China, and by extension, the situation that applies between Israel and its neighbors.

 

The first part discusses the role that the offensive weapons of a foe, play when it comes to neutralizing the effectiveness of a defensive shield. Here is that account:

 

“News broke that China tested a hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV). It could mark a new phase in the competition between the US and China. For the latter, an HGV capability provides a guarantee of overcoming US missile defenses. China’s small missile forces would then be capable of overwhelming the unproven defensive systems currently deployed in Alaska and California. The deployment of HGV confirms the irrelevance of US missile defenses”.

 

Note that offensive weapons are needed to overcome the defensive shield of the opponent. Note also that the professor makes it clear that (most advanced technologically) America, which has been working on a defensive shield since Ronald Reagan, has not yet developed a reliable shield. To have pretended then it was possible to shield against incoming rockets, was a big lie. To pretend now that it is possible to shield against rockets, is just as big a lie. What this says about Israel’s Iron Dome, is that if it exists at all, the claim that it is effective, is inflated beyond anything credible. It is the work of a Jewish propaganda machine that is run by buffoons who are far removed from the ability to reason the way that humans do.

 

The second part of David Kearn’s article tells how the defense of a nation can be secured by having the means to retaliate with offensive weapons:

 

“What should we make of this? First, the US maintains a triad of nuclear weapon systems. This deterrent capability has not changed and will not change with the deployment of hypersonic vehicles by China, or Russia for that matter. Second, the US has been working on the development of hypersonic weapons. Moreover, any Chinese advantage is mitigated by the guarantee of retaliation”.

 

What this says, is that even if China were able to bomb and eliminate America’s land-based missiles, America still has the means to retaliate because it owns a submarine fleet, and long-range bombers that China could not stop. Applied to Israel’s relation with its neighbors, this says that whereas Israel did not fear the Gaza rockets enough to refrain from attacking the Strip during the last war, it feared the arsenal of Hezbollah enough to keep quiet at the Lebanese border. The lesson to draw from this, is that if and when Hamas gets to be as well equipped as Hezbollah, there will be peace and quiet at the Gaza border for the same reason that there is peace and quiet at the Lebanese border. It is that Israel will be deterred in the South by Hamas’s arsenal, the way that it is deterred in the North by Hezbollah’s arsenal. Next to the complete disarmament of both sides, this would be a good outcome.

 

The third part of David Kearn’s article, discusses the risk of triggering an arms race by one side or the other insisting on having better or superior weapons than the opponent, be that weapons of the offensive or defensive kind:

 

“The larger question is whether we have initiated an arms race among the powers in the world. Despite the prohibitive costs, poor performance and persistent failures of US ballistic missile defenses, continued investment on the program have spurred fears in Beijing. Those fears have now been acted upon, and the development of offensive programs to overcome US defenses have left the United States worse off”.

 

What this says is that the best way to secure peace and quiet for your population, is to refrain from provoking a potential foe into racing you at procuring better and more weapons of any kind, be that to defend themselves against your attacks, or to attack you.

 

America’s words and actions with regard to China, left it worse off, says Professor David Kearn. By the same token, his article demonstrates that working to give Israel better and more weapons of any kind, and then talk about it publicly, is leaving the Middle East and the world worse off.
