Defence literacy isn’t high, the situation is complex, and Trump has discarded so many norms that it’s easy to believe he’s handed over a US Base to a government friendly to him personally.

But that’s not the case here.

No. This really isn't as big of a deal as is being made out.

Singapore certainly had fighter aircraft based in the US for training, as (I think) did Taiwan. There are, of course, Cdns all over the US, including large numbers in Colorado.

None are real "bases" in a conventional sense. Same here.

All That Glitters Is Trump: The Golden Dome Boondoggle Why Canada Should Think Twice Before Signing On to Trump’s Missile Defence Delusion"

You know, I’d forgotten I’d written on Golden Dome. An alternative view to the Manitoba academic’s testimony.

It’ll be gold, of course. And he already has a coin in the works, why not an arch with Dear Leader on top?

Ok boomer.

Well, I am unpleasant. You have that right. But I gather by your name here that you’re quite a bit more unpleasant, so you have that going for you at least.

You seem a bit touchy, judging by your vacuous replies.

More than anything, this reminds me of the snatch squads in 1980s Central America. Horrifying.

Since this is still on my thread:

Don’t take a word Trump says about GD at face value. Nothing.

We’re not going to buy into any of these stupid plans. It’s too expensive and won’t work. I keep saying: they’re going to state that NORAD is our β€œpart” of the system and leave it at that.

This is what I was talking about yesterday.

This person is completely blinded by ideology. Everything is a purity test to them and a person on the centre or a pragmatist is as good as a Nazi.

This charmer limits replies and quote posts.
Alas for them, I’m not a β€œboomer” & know how to screenshot.

The centrist loves to qualify human rights as a purity test, which is why these cockroaches are the equivalent to the Vichy French.

Hahahaha.

Checked my bio did you?

I’m so tired of ideological troglodytes on the left and their dimwitted purity tests. It’s part of the reason the nuts on the right gained so much momentum.

Drop the block now, I’ve said my piece. 😘

I had to do a double take: this is being released *in theatres* by a major studio? Good lord.

Sure.

I’ll even give you odds.

Golden Dome aims to prevent missile strikes from space *at their launch points*. You’re not going to do this without a massive - massive - amount of research and money, if at all.

GBI intercept rate still isn’t above 50% - after years of trying.

So, two days before the Nobel announcement.

Trump lies constantly, so I’m not sure what to believe here. Phase One of a *ceasefire* - that has yet to begin - is hardly comprehensive peace, no matter what Trump is selling.

Let’s see what it looks like in a week or two.

As a reminder, when Jack Posobiec was in the US Navy, they assessed his full capabilities and concluded that he was best suited to collecting samples for urinalysis

This guy’s gotta be the dumbest member of Trump’s gang of idiots in his Cabinet - and that’s saying something.

He can spout off however he wants - until Dear Leader issues his edicts. Until then, who knows what reality is.

I live in BC. The opposition is so great that Smith is hinting she wants Ottawa to just push it though over objections.

So much for β€œprovincial rights” - which apparently only apply to Alberta.
