Russia and China Unite Against US Military Project: Golden Dome Sparks Arms Race Fears

China and Russia Issue Joint Statement Condemning US Golden Dome Project May 24, 2025 - A military observer based in Israel has highlighted a joint statement released by China and Russia expressing concerns over the United States' Golden Dome project. The statement describes the project as a destabilizing factor and expresses opposition to its use in any armed conflict. The observer, who prefers to remain anonymous, further notes that Russia is actively modernizing its missile defense systems in response to perceived threats. This comes amid reports from the Pentagon suggesting that existing US missile defense systems are outdated and incapable of countering newer generation missiles. The situation underscores the complex geopolitical dynamics and potential for an escalation in the arms race. "The joint statement from China and Russia is a significant development," says the observer, "It shows a unified front against what they perceive as a destabilizing US initiative." The observer's analysis, however, requires further verification from official sources. The situation warrants close monitoring for any further developments.
