Hegseth denies China’s claim that Golden Dome is ‘offensive’: ‘Protecting the homeland’

Hegseth also says appealing to God is ‘longstanding tradition’ in military dating back to George Washington

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth denied China’s claim the Golden Dome would turn space into a “war zone.”

 All we care about is protecting the homeland,” Hegseth told Fox News Digital while departing from a trip to Fort Bragg, North Carolina. 

President Donald Trump has said for a long time defense of the homeland is critical to his “America First” policy, and the Golden Dome is a generational investment. 

Chinese Foreign Minister Mao Ning claimed this week the Golden Dome has a “strong offensive nature and violates the principle of peaceful use in the Outer Space Treaty.”

Of course the communist of China would think a dome to protect America would be a bad idea, for them. Remember the old adage “me thinks thou protest too much.” I remember Reagan and the “Star Wars” idea of protection. When you are in politics and your opponent or in this case your enemy says it’s a bad idea, then you know it is worth doing.

We have seen the effectiveness of the Iron Dome in Israel, and their other defensive weaponry that has saved countless lives during the Hamas invasion. Now if we could just get something done about a possible cyber attack, which many experts tell us is a very likely possibility I would rest must easier. And by the way the leftist went ballistic over Pete’s prayer. I say that is what we need, much more prayer. This battle for our country is a battle for the soul of America, and that my friends is a spiritual battle! Rh
