This defensive tactic can be a deadly mistake. Lets say the enemy, Ira...sorry, "Ireland" has nukes and is determined to use them. Ireland would build multitudes of cheap, inaccurate missile and lob them over, finishing the stock

I doubt one in a hundred have actually read any part of the original sources. They get what they know from fifteen second videos. This is not their fault, however. Reading long form is becoming a specialized skill.
