I read a story where it was being discussed if the Navy should simply allow the these missiles and drones to get in the range of the The Phalanx.
The Phalanx system is a much cheaper alternative to eliminate these threats. However the Phalanx would only work on targets directed at the Navy ships, it could not be used to defend merchant ships unless the Navy boats were escorting them closely.

bidenomics

Toss a few hundred billion in there for NATO, kikerael and jewkraine while at it too.

Give away our equipment as well. Make it free. Our idiot, legal, tax paying population will foot the bill as we descend into total economic chaos.

Idiots.
