Trying to catch up to Star Wars caused the Soviet Union to go broke.

This is likely true, although it is amusing that the people who for decades
were saying that the Soviet Union would go broke on its own due to the
failure of its own policies were the first people to laud Ronald Reagan
for making it go broke.

Golden Dome will do the same to China.

It's possible but given the state of our respective economies it is
likely to make us go broke first.  Also, let me say that Kennedy, Johnson
Nixon, and Reagan were a lot better at playing chicken than the current
holder of their office is.  If you're going to play chicken you need to
have someone on your team who is really good at it.

Much as I hate Henry Kissinger, he was really good at it.

And we will get new space technology out of it.  I look forward to my
vacation at the Space Hilton.

It is likely that we will get new space technology out of it, as will
the Chinese.  But you can't put a Hilton in a military zone.  Except
for the Hanoi Hilton...
