A “dome” to defend the American homeland from missile attacks is just as fanciful today as it was in 1983, when Ronald Reagan announced his Strategic Defense Initiative “Star Wars” dream. Iron Dome, a catchy Israeli moniker for a very limited system, has now morphed into Golden Dome, which at least accurately expresses the protective layer this untold-billions program will place over the American military-industrial complex. Alchemists take note, this is how you do it in 2025.
