Far Out

Regenerative justice, a global corrective force that takes individuals, groups, and nations to accountability for their actions. It could be a mercenary force backed by incentives for transparency and justice. B21 proposed stealth is 700M, B2 is $2B a pop. Not tenable. New arms race is in supersonic missiles (us - china - Russia). Nongo, either.

Defensive systems must be a part of it. Just plain defense, like Star Wars to knock out nukes - and anything else except perhaps ballistic projectiles, which we assume can fly faster than rockets. So here are first principle calculations for Star Wars feasibility, and let's see if that matches the Washington Consensus.

Supersonic weapons - mach 5-10 appears to exist. Anti missile missiles only do 4.1, such as the Patriot. Supersonic missiles may take out naval warship groups. 150kW laser weapons are on the table. This really does get into Star Wars territory. Note that spaceships get up to 24000 mph to leave earth. Reusable rockets may help here.

The ultimate solution is simple - refocusingilitary energy to personal growth. A transition from nukes to self-help is the counterintuitive solution. This is what OSE does. Here we may be able to open letter Lockheed Martin to substantial funding of personal growth and education as the deepest form of military strategy - though that would run them out of business in their traditional product line of weaponry. If they transition, that would be a success. We can ask the same from China and Russia. To that end, well-researched open letter position statements/pitches can be drawn up - to inspire and inform the public, while providing an opportunity to the brokers of death. With love and integrity.
