Wonder if that guy has figured out how Canada is going to prevent "their fallout" from landing in the US?
Maybe we ought to conduct a "pre-emptive" clearance project so that they are no longer such a tempting target.
Next time FReepers plan a vacation, I hope these forums have convinced you to keep your money in THIS country. Period.
What gets me is it doesn't sound like he has put much thought into the issue at all "rocket expert" or no. The article gives the impression Paul Martin is deciding on the basis of pure partisan expedience. As for the deserters and draft dodgers, he can have them and welcome. It's up to us to make sure they can never, ever come back.
And if they want to grant our deserters political asylum, I’m sure there’s some class of Canadian criminals we can grant asylum to until they change their minds.
Hey, fine by us, but when Iran or North Korea start sending missiles over, we're going to knock them out. If Canada isn't participating, they might just land in Canada. Thems the breaks.
Without essential funding from Canada, the US will need to develop a cheaper plan.
Rather than outright shoot missiles out of the air, it will be cheaper to "trick" the missile into falling short---somewhere in Canada.
That way the US and Canada can both cut back funding.
Screw Canada. If they don't want an umbrella, fine. And they can take our bums and traitors - good riddance.
I've often thought of applying for refugee status in the U.S. on the basis of being a Canadian gun owner, and therefore subject to persecution on that basis. I may soon be able to add religious persecution on the basis of being a Bible believing Christian.
So, said the little red hen, I'll build it myself.
Pretty soon, a big nuclear missile headed to the US from
North Korea, and the little red hen's shield worked perfectly.
It didn't blow up anything...Just diverted the incoming
to Ottawa, or Vancouver, or Regina.
OF course, the big Canuck dumbhorse couldn't do anything about it
except...sue for damages.
And preferably in red states. Florida could use the money, y'all, given the four hurricanes' impact on its economy. And it's mostly cleaned up in tourist areas, anyway.
Pretty idealistic! Is it denial? Or extreme naivete?.
Objection, your honor, prejudicial! Plaintiff is glowing in front of the jury!
Canada was already nuked at least once and survived. That is, you can't tell the difference, but being Canada that wouldn't come as a surprise.
Wonder if the PM knows that before we intercept an incoming ballistic missile, we know where it's gonna land. It's ballistic - it travels on a predetermined course.
So the question is, do we give them the option of buying a "shootdown" for, say, $20B (US) when the time comes ("you have 15 seconds to decide, $20B (US) and we'll attempt an intercept; or not, your choice - 10 seconds left"), or just let it land on Canadian soil.
We really need to start getting tough on Canada. If it wasn't for their oil, maybe even cutting off diplomatic relations...........?
When the missiles do start to fly, we should send them an account number. We should then tell them that they have 5 minutes to wire $100B into that account, if they want any protection. After 5m, the price goes up by $20B/minute.
