        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.

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

    It’s pretty much impossible for it to not include at least a good part of Canada. Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, and Montréal are all within the margin of error distance/routes to the US for incoming ballistic missiles.

    This ain’t some iron dome 10km range situation.

      Yeah, it’s probably more expensive to design a system that covers Seattle but doesn’t cover Vancouver just because they’re so close. Same thing for Toronto and Montreal. And in there you already have more than a third of the Canadian population.

      Edmonton is out of the playground, though.

        Plus, the US would massively benefit from having tracking stations outside of their own borders to see much further away. The most direct path from anywhere in Russia or China to the US mainland (sorry Alaska and Hawaii) always passes over Canada with the one exception being from Southern China to Oregon and California, and that route passes over Alaska.

    Realistically, it’s also going to have to include at least some of Mexico

    What’s he going to say about that?

    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.
