There are more serious defects in this sort of writing. Mr. Axe does not seem to understand the first thing about military strategy. He envisions incinerating Taiwan as a response to an improbable Chinese invasion. The serious military strategist, contemplating an aggressive move, must then ask, "Then what?" The presumed enemy is not going to be passive or unarmed. The state employing the missiles is not going to be invulnerable -- far from it.
Someone said that for the United States, it might be useful to imagine that there are dozens of submarines belonging to some hostile power armed with nuclear missiles a few miles from Los Angeles, Seattle, New York.
Another important aspect of the advertised missiles is that they are doubtless going to be very expensive, and many will have to be bought, because they will be impossible to test under working conditions. So they will form a nearly bottomless wealth sink for whoever pays for them.
Maybe this is the sort of thing you want to convey to your representatives. They surely don't care about your moralizations.
