        Doesn’t even need to be intentional! Something like panic sharting himself to death after realizing he accidentally streamed his entire AOC fantasy porn jerk sesh to the world. That’d be ok.

            I actually tend to agree with this. Russia can barely invade a country it shares a flat land border with. Imagine them using their mostly non-existent navy to try and secure Baffin island with a bunch of drunk conscripts who now have to camp out in the fucking Arctic while being bombed.

    There will be strings attached. Many, many strings. The best strings. Beautiful strings.

    Right. Trump expects Canada to pay for the bullets that America shoots at us.

    This sounds like the kind of thing they do then they go “now pay up”, despite never asking for or consenting to this.

    I do not trust the US government to nog immediately say as payment they need our mineral rights or something.

    Frankly the only purpose this or NORAD really serve is allowing the US to run rampant, and I don’t see the benefit to Canada, as we are not by and large under threat from anyone else.

      Trump will be dead and in the ground, either by bullet or by hamburger, long before any of this ever reaches the functional stage anyway. I can virtually guarantee it.

    I wonder, what would the consequences have been for Ukraine if Russia had first built an air defence system that extended across all of Ukraine’s airspace? I’m sure nothing bad could have come from that for Ukraine… right?

    Seems Carney is negotiating …

    Canada is in talks with the U.S. about President Donald Trump’s proposed “Golden Dome” missile defence plan, the Prime Minister’s Office confirmed Tuesday, shortly after Trump claimed Canada “has called us and they want to be a part of it.”

    “To that end, the Prime Minister and his ministers are having wide-ranging and constructive discussions with their American counterparts. These discussions naturally include strengthening NORAD and related initiatives such as the Golden Dome.”
