Trump wants $61B for Canada to join his Golden Comb-Over.

My wife suggested we pay by e-transfer and make the security question too hard for Trump to answer. For example: what is Melania’s birthday? What is Eric’s middle name?
That’s a fuck no from me dog

I can’t be the only one who can’t help thinking of the rumored Trump golden shower tapes every time he talks about the golden dome. It’s what I imagine he’s dreaming of, but on a continental scale.

Also, the only country that is openly threatening our sovereignty is the US. Will the system stop American missiles, I wonder?
No, but it’ll stop NATO missiles liberating us after the US annexes us.

Ah, crap. I forgot about that. Ok, new idea: Canada pays for the whole thing, on condition that the US becomes our cherished 4th territory.

Just keep pretending we want it and waste his time for as long as we can
I have the feeling that’s what Carney is doing. Keep playing along, dragging it out. While making deals with the rest of the world.

Canada should not be “negotiating”/subjugating itself to this. Instead it should demand the US pay for NORAD. There is a huge cost to Canada for sycophancy to US empire. Our entire military spending is based on force amplification to the US empire’s demonic and genocidal imperialism, and the illusion of impunity for consequences, makes us cheer on the propaganda for evil, and not pay enough attention to the costs.
So much prosperity in Canada, EU, and other US colonies can be unlocked through spending on other than a militarist destiny fueled by Russophobia and Sinophobia propaganda.
Calm your tits. Were talking about going up to 2% of our GDP. Officially, China is currently at about 1.5%, but estimates put it higher. And that doesn’t give us the second largest military in the world.
You’re also ignoring how Canada has specifically not turned to the US for the latest NORAD spending. So how are we subjugating ourselves to them?

Everything’s golden with him. Toilet seats, sharpies, hair, skin tone in the right light…

Our defense needs are exclusively protecting us from US. Both NORAD and golden dome which would most likely be under NORAD supervision are expenses that we make to protect North America only because we are aligned with US evil that might require annihilation of those aligned with US evil.
Whether we buy our “force projection” and “defense projection” systems from other countries than US, our military/defense system so far has been to be under US command. We should be paid significantly to have NORAD and golden dome on our soil/air, but Canada does not actually need the protection unless it chooses US aligned evil against the world. We can measure the cost of evil in NORAD/Golden Dome expenses.

We’re in for AT LEAST three more contiguous years and a half of this madness. Stalling every bit of the way can make a big difference.

Why even do this?
Beyond funding the military Industrial complex, there is no reason for this. The US has by beyond far the biggest military in the world, there are no realistic threats, this is a ginormous waste of money and resources
And to those saying that China is a threat: yeah, to Taiwan, perhaps. But attacking the US mainland? Come on, be serious.

What do you mean? There’s no need for more reasons.
Republicans will never lose vote for increasing military funding. Trump family gets gifts and favours, doles out some taxpayer money in a way that their languishing and impoverished voter base approves. It’s the art of the deal.
