Golden Dome
How effective will this be? If it works will this end the doctrine of MAD?

What's stopping the first country to develop this from just nuking their adversary? Say China gets there first, will they nuke the west?

there is no meaningful defense against nuclear weapons, because people can just smuggle them across borders and detonate them on the ground. The world economic situation is structured in a way where the destruction of any major trade city will cause the whole thing to crumble

It doesn't even have to be a major trade city. If someone nukes Omaha, Nebraska, the western over-leveraged mortgage and insurance market melts down because it means the same can happen to any other place.

You'd see the derivative market implode with huge margin calls being called left and right, and there would be no liquidity to fulfil the calls.

Not very, we'd need a local military alliance with Canada and Mexico, something akin to the North American Union and we'd need an entirely new Naval Caribbean Fleet.

Germany would get overall richer if Berlin stopped existing.
Also stuffing nuclear material into something small and portable, keeping it working, usable and stable and then smuggling it into a country is a lot harder than you think.
Besides it also limits the yield, the portable nuclear backpack the US designed in the cold war (W54) had a yield of up to 1000 tonnes of TNT, the one dropped on Nagasaki had a yield of 15 000 KILOTONNES of TNT.
A backpack bomb like the W54 would fuck up a strict city center for sure, but hardly do anything apart from that in reality.
Remember not to listen to thirdies fantasizing about some great nuclear terrorism vengeance.

Picrel detonating the W54 (1 kiloton) in the middle of the financial district in New York.

Israel's Iron Dome still let quite a few rockets get through but has been effective. Golden Dome will be the same. Saves some lives by stopping a few but also a few still getting through. It's not a game changer. What matters is the US having to actually commit to a long term strategy. Military projection versus soft power projection.

At best this ends up being extra money thown at NORAD, which is fine, I guess.

If they could actually build something like this is would likely be immensely harmful in the mid-to-long term, as it the nominal collapse of deterrence.

It won't make them obsolete. It just means you need a lot more warheads to hit your target. I don't know how many ICBM's and warheads Russia can produce. If it's anything like their tank or mig production a working "Golden Dome" system would effectively reduce the number of targets the Russians can hit to twice the effective ICMB interceptor rate? That's assuming Russians target two warheads to a silo to ensure destruction of the target. That would really fuck with decision making processes when you Generals can say shit like "Well even if the Russians chhose to escalte they can only destroy 5% of their counter value targets." Thats how you get a nuclear exchange.

>Following King Charles III's May 2025 visit to Canada and Throne Speech to open Canada's 45th Parliament, Trump stated that Canada could either choose to pay $61 billion to be included in the Golden Dome program, or it could join for free by becoming the U.S.' 51st State.[34][35][36] The Office of the Prime Minister of Canada rejected this offer and said no to becoming the 51st state.[37]

Ineffective. Capitalists cannot risk an all-out nuclear war, it will destroy their fortunes. Thicker shields also always result in the development of more powerful cannons. Nuclear weapons are an arms race that nobody can win.

People also forget that modern buildings will not shrug off a nuke blast, but they won't be instantly evaporated like all wooden building in Hiroshima or Nagasaki were. Steel reinforced structures that were about 150 m from the epicenter of the blast were still left partially standing, the kerosene rationing building in peace park had someone in the basement survive. I’d reckon a ground level detonation in a modern city would be a sub-optimal target. You would either want to target vital infrastructure like ports, airports, power plants or vital industry.
