Yes.
Golden dome, regardless of what it is, whether upgraded NORAD monitoring or an actual shield would be magnitudes more expensive without Canada's cooperation.
Another 5-D chess move. The administration's strategy is so sophisticated, no one will ever figure it out!
The US administration strategy is knee-jerk upon knee-jerk upon knee-jerk. They have band-aids patched over leaky band-aids so deep, they forget what the original wound looked like.
The inclusion of Canada in his "golden dome" is not to keep Canadians safe. It's to keep support out when he decides to invade Canada. Canada must say NO.
It’s farcical simply based on how outdated the plan is. Sure ICBM’s… Plus the only enemy we had was the US. Pretty dumb to join up with the only country who has threatened us in the past and in the present. Not rocket science, ok it is but still a dumb idea to do anything with the new fascist US.
The dome would also need to cover Mexico
I don't think we'll hear much from the Mango Mussolini about that though...
It won't work, because it can't work.
The US is too big and spread out.
It would be insane for Canada to sign up to join, is that a serious discussion in Canada now?
No other country has even hinted, ever, that it wants to or will or is planning to attack Canada the Nation.
I mean. Y'all did burn down the White House that one time...
Only because the Americans attacked us first.
The fact of the matter is, now as then, America will not tolerate an enemy on it's Northern Border, and the rest of the world knows this.
America HAS to defend Canada against foreign aggression, as their main defense against what the Germans did in the Schlieffen Plan during both world wars.
Apparently, young-uns today do not know what the Schlieffen Plan was. When Germany attacked France, they went through relatively undefended and relatively weak Belgium to reach around the French flank. The Belgium-France border was undefended. Any country seriously thinking of invading the US would first attack either Canada or Mexico, then go through and attack the US through this relatively undefended border, instead of attacking the US directly. The ONLY reason another country would even think of attacking Canada would be to just pass through and attack the US.
If the Americans did not stop them in Canada, the entire US would be vulnerable. The US-Canada border is just too long to defend completely. That was the entire purpose of the Ogdensburg Agreement.
The ONLY reason another country would even think of attacking Canada would be to just pass through and attack the US.
Exactly.
Which goes to show how laughable Trumps claims of Canada riding on the US's coattails for protection are.
They're not protecting Canada from attack, they're using Canada as a buffer/shield between them and Russia.
Same as they have since the DEW line was first proposed back in the '50s
Basically, Trump wants Canada to help pay for the defense of the United States.
Only works when a strong America is willing to defend the rest of the world.
Now. America is so weak, it needs the rest of the world to help defend America.
No, and no
