    The Pentagon’s wet dream of an Iron Dome isn’t about defense—it’s about removing the last shackles on American imperialism. By recruiting Musk’s orbital circus, they’re not building a shield but forging a sword to dangle over every nation that dares resist dollar hegemony. Mutually assured destruction kept the peace through sheer terror; this abomination flips the script into unilateral annihilation. Imagine a world where the U.S. can nuke Caracas at breakfast and glass Tehran by lunch, all while sipping bourbon knowing no retaliation’s possible. That’s not security—it’s global tyranny with a SpaceX logo.

    This isn’t Musk’s first rodeo with the military-industrial ghouls. His entire empire was midwifed by CIA cash and Pentagon contracts, a continuation of Operation Paperclip’s legacy where Nazi engineers became American heroes. Now he’s repackaging Wernher von Braun’s playbook for the digital age, swapping V-2 rockets for hypersonic meme weapons. The real horror isn’t Elon’s Sieg Heil cosplay—it’s the system that rewards sociopathic ambition with planetary-scale power. When Castelion’s missiles start orbiting, MAD dies, and with it, the last pretense that we’re not hurtling toward corporate-feudal dystopia at Mach 10.

      Well the point of the article is that they want to shoot down nuclear missiles using satellites. But there’s no reason Elon needs to be involved other than that he’s president.

        He does have a MASSIVE constellation of satellites used for his shitty internet. What if. Just what if part of their defense shield idea is sneakily using Starlink satellites brilliant pebbles style to take down incoming missiles by just dropping them out of the sky in the path of incoming? Or putting some sort of secret payload on them that enables them to do a bit more than just drop.

      The fact they have this idea in their head is scary…

    brilliant: ask the guy with his own nuclear war bunker how to best survive a nuclear war. 🤣
