Why America's Golden Dome Missile Defense System Probably Won't Work

from What In The World? · host What In The World? International news and global events. With jokes!

Adam and Ethan take a deep dive into one of America's most ambitious and suspicious military proposals: the Golden Dome missile defense system. What is it, how much is it going to cost, and why are so many experts convinced it will never work? We tackle the subject with all of the trademark clarity, chaos, shock and awe you've come to expect from this operation. Looking for someone to explain trillion-dollar defense spending in a way that's equal parts informative, infuriating, and unsettlingly cavalier about the prospect of World War III? If so, this is the episode for you!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-in-the-world--7104437/support.Subscribe on Spreaker for ad-free listening and bonus episodes: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-in-the-world--7104437/supportFollow You Don't Even Like Podcasts on the socials!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/youdontpod/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/youdontpod.bsky.socialX: https://x.com/youdontpod
