Torpedos, ship launched short range, and truck bombs, from border countries made hostile, or at least indifferent to usa destruction, is one counter measure. As article mentions, overloading a target location with decoys and faster missiles is another.
Usa risks collapse simply from trade war disinvestment. A single nuclear strike or even just a hurricane at this point, will pass tipping point.
$175b is optimistically low. Previous quote was $2.5t. just last month. Like all boondoggles, proper marketing is for initial bribes, which are $25b, in this year budget, for under budgeted scam with overages to vendors. $25b is campaign donations and media brines.
