> Our accelerating that doesn't seem like a big win so far. Maybe this can help. It's 2025 and Iran has 1,000 missiles (just random rough numbers). It's 2030, and Iran now has 5,000 missiles and bought a bunch of hypersonic missiles from China. Sure, we can just "not accelerate" this, but then we're not going to do anything about it in 2030 because nobody is going to accept being on the receiving end of so much destruction. > They've been able to do that for decades. Not quite - they've had varying levels of capability here. Until recently they haven't had the missile and drone stockpile that they have today and have been building.
