...more likely that she would sneak her missiles right up to our shores on her many hundreds of submarines, merchant ships, and fishing trawlers and knock us out before any $400 billion ABM system could detect the attack, much less block...

Though some of the City Councillors may have what are commonly called "ties" with real estate interests, they are politicians foremost, and interests are useful to them only insofar as they help the councillors to retain office.
