No thanks. Fuck off with your low-key threats and extortion. This clown needs to learn how to read the room. We want nothing from this asshole.

It’d be rad if he killed himself.

[–] Jimbabwe@lemmy.world 0 points 5 hours ago

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.

We don't want your help anymore. Until you prove to us that you're intelligent enough to choose decent leadership, you can all kindly fuck right out of our country's business. The only country that is actively threatening us is America.

Why would we even need such a system regardless of us current leadership?

You know we do share a northern border with russia right?

[–] small44@sopuli.xyz 0 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

Yes but russia enemies ia the usa and europe not us. The biggest chance of getting invaded is the usa and not russia

[–] Knoxvomica@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 hours ago

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.

Wait… is he going to pee on us?

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 7 points 11 hours ago

He can try but we're closer to the north pole, it would just fall back and hit him

Golden spray paint on NORAD

Take that dome and shove it.

[–] BlameThePeacock@lemmy.ca 15 points 13 hours ago

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.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 13 points 13 hours ago

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

What's he going to say about that?

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 10 points 13 hours ago

Nah, we're okay.

[–] gramie@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 hours ago

Did someone say, "Star Wars"?

[–] Daryl@lemmy.ca 6 points 12 hours ago

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

[–] Deadeyegai@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

By this logic it will surely also include Mexico, right? RIGHT??

[–] small44@sopuli.xyz 5 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

Why the hell do we even need such a system?

Because we can sell them sensors and other crap at US military contracting rates and make Lockheed and GE amounts of money for little effort.

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.”
