Reagan Was Right

The willful ignorance of the left is absolutely mind-boggling. How can Biden and others act like it’s no big deal when an enemy launches 300 missiles at one of our allies? Iran’s intention was to kill thousands of Israelis. It was a declaration of war.

Of course, I am tremendously relieved that Israel’s Iron Dome defense systems and our own missile defense systems in the region were so successful in thwarting this attack.

It must be mentioned that these outstanding defense systems are the direct results of Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI).

Reagan said the doctrine of mutual assured destruction was immoral. So, he decided to build a system that could protect us and our allies from missile attacks. The Soviet Union tried to keep up, but it couldn’t. Moscow offered many concessions if Reagan would abandon SDI, but he refused. His steadfast leadership contributed to the collapse of the U.S.S.R.

But when Reagan announced his plans for a missile defense system, the political left bitterly resisted. They mocked SDI as “Star Wars,” just as they mocked Donald Trump when he created the Space Force.

One of the people who led the charge against Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative was Joe Biden. The same system he is praising today, he opposed every step of the way 40 years ago.

And he’s still fighting it. Biden just submitted a budget for the Pentagon that cuts $400 million from these defensive systems.
