President Trump: 我希望建造一个“金色穹顶”导弹防御系统,以保护美国免受核武器的威胁。我相信通过与伊朗达成一项强有力的核协议,并辅以严格的检查措施,可以使世界更加安全。虽然我对任何人都不信任,但我认为达成协议是降低核战争风险的关键一步。我希望这个“金色穹顶”能在我的任期内全面投入使用,尽管专家们对时间和成本的估计存在分歧,但我坚信这是可行的。 Audrey Decker: “金色穹顶”计划旨在建立一个多层次的导弹防御系统,利用传感器探测和追踪来袭导弹,并使用拦截器将其击落。这个概念可以追溯到里根政府的战略防御倡议,但技术进步使现在实现它成为可能。然而,将“金色穹顶”扩展到覆盖整个美国将是一个复杂且昂贵的过程,可能需要数千亿美元的投资。该计划中最具挑战性的部分是在太空部署拦截器,以在导弹发射的最初阶段将其击落。尽管如此,特朗普政府正在积极推进该计划,并与国防公司商讨可能的合作。 Ankit Panda: 我认为“金色穹顶”计划可能会加剧国际紧张局势,因为它与核威慑的原则相冲突。核威慑依赖于相互确保摧毁的概念,即任何一方都不敢发动核攻击,因为这会导致自身也被摧毁。然而,如果一方拥有有效的导弹防御系统,它可能会认为自己可以发动先发制人的打击而不用担心报复。此外,俄罗斯和中国也在发展自己的导弹防御能力,这进一步加剧了军备竞赛的风险。虽然导弹防御在理论上听起来很有吸引力,但它可能会破坏现有的战略平衡,并增加核战争的风险。
