        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.

      He can’t just defend the US, given Canada’s proximity I don’t think he has a choice.

            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.

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

    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.

      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.
