Unless my math is wrong, that means a country could build around twenty thousand cruise missiles for the cost of one destroyer. Today, missiles can be launched from land, aircraft, small ships, submarines, underwater platform, and even relatively small fishing boats. For the cost of one destroyer and enemy could fire twenty missiles at each of the twenty-or-so escort ships shown in the photograph above and still have over ten thousands missiles to sink the carrier. Time changes things

And they will be committing national suicide in the process. How much does that cost them?

Probably a very harsh scolding by Obama in the United Nations.
