The 'Iron
Dome' was indeed a myth created by Israel to deter the Arabs and Muslims
from doing anything to Israel. This fear that missiles cannot break
Israel is what cowed the Arabs and Muslims from attacking Israel. That
myth managed to withstand for more than decade, a length of time during
which the Arabs and Muslims were practically paralyzed with fear of the
Israeli threat. No Arab or Muslim country tried to break it; no scrutiny
mounted to test the theoretical effectiveness of the system.
The
'Iron Dome' myth had already been busted by Hamas in October 2023 and
by Hezbollah months later by the Lebanese shooting cheap rockets and
duds that needed expensive Patriot Missiles to counter. When those
Patriots were exhausted in numbers, then the real destructive missiles
and drones will do the job.
Lessons are learnt, not forgotten
and Hezbollah knows now how to counter the 'Iron Dome' defense system.
As in all things created by humans, sooner or later someone will find a
way to counter it. Just look at Russia and how it is countering all the
sanctions and deflecting the damage towards the perpetrators. Are the
sanctions working and if not, that must be the biggest shame on the USA
and the West. Russia alone is able to counter the might of the USA and
NATO, rich countries inside the G7 and top of the crop in economic
power. How NATO is suffering today and how Russia is becoming great
again is a slap on the face of the USA and the West.
I still
cannot fathom the mantra that the USA is almost in recession. It is
already in recession and the only reason is that they are denying it.
What is the reason for cutting interest rates when the economy is said
to be doing so well? As Professor Richard Wolff said, Janet Yellen knows
but is pretending not to know. She and her fellow juggler, Powell have
reached the end of their tethers and can no longer kick the can further
down the road.

Despite the failures, Netanyahu is still boasting that the 'Iron Dome' is the best air defense system in the world. I would say the most expensive system in the world, not the best. Expensive does not always equate to best. Otherwise, why would the Saudis discard them and go for the Russian S400 instead?
