Horse shoe theory of politics debunked
There is a big gap between the right and left end of the horse shoe
This means if you take a horse shoe and start in the center if you go far enough to the right you will never touch the left because of the gap
Likewise if you start at the center and go far enough to the left you will never touch the right because of the same gap
If going to the left from center lead to the same place as going to the right from center it would be a circle not a H Shoe
I like this.
But, you have inverted the metaphor and used it as the truth.
If your missiles have paths that look like a horse shoe in the current snapshot, then they will likely intercept in the future.
