Could have shortened the title significantly, and reuse it daily.
“Trump speaks, experts say that’s ridiculous”
the onion should’ve gotten on that a decade ago
There already is one. There are aound 100 Patriot missile batteries in the US. As usual Trump knows nothing about the subject he talks about.
To be fair, they told him about this in dozens of briefings, but he was always distracted by his Happy Meal toy.
What do they need 100 Patriot batteries for? Are they that scared of the Mexicans and Canadians?
People in red states need jobs, it’s a welfare program.
Also, billionaires get richer and can own colonies, but don’t look behind the curtain.
You mean NORAD missile defence system?
The point of putting it around Canada was so missiles would be shot down over it instead of the US
If NORAD can keep us safe from Santa they can keep us safe from anything
Dude, nothing can protect us from Santa.
Except for Mrs. Claus! She stomps her foot and Santa gets grounded and goes to his room with his tail between his legs (yeah, they have a separate room arrangement)
Of course that goes without saying.
You are so wrong… the most direct route for a missile attack to US from Russia passes over Canada, hence the location.
They could still put it along the US border but it doesn’t make sense for the US to shoot missiles down on top of themselves
That’s such a stupid take. They put it as far north as possible so they could get as much notice as possible. Even today it takes time to respond and you need as much as you can get. Even today, shooting down a ballistic missile at high hypersonic speeds with multiple warheads is much easier the earlier in flight you can shoot
That is pretty much exactly what they were saying. They put it as far north as possible, so the missiles would be fired upon as far north as possible, which means they would be shot down as far north as possible, and as far away from their targets as possible.
You’re saying almost exactly the same thing as they did, and arguing that they were stupid for saying it.
I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. You’re saying the same thing as the other guy who replied to you.
He must have recently rewatched Reagan’s Star Wars videos.
Totally different. Iron dome is way more extensive.
We don’t need iron dome because we have oceans on our borders. If Mexico collapses, though. Maybe need it.
Maybe if they start launching immigrants across the border with trebuchets ….
I guess we need to set up trapeze nets north of the border. We need those immigrants. They pick our crops.
That would be a heck of a commute. I hope abuela’s heart is ok.
That’s a hilarious image!
Not really different at all, the iron done is just much newer/advanced tech
And you know, far more dense- which is the core of what makes it effective
I can build that for him for a cool 250 billion. I’m willing to guarantee 0% penetration of short range rockets launched by Hezbollah from anywhere in Lebanon.
That’s outrageous! I’ll do it for 249 billion!
Honestly, I’ll do it for a hundred bucks.
To protect us from whom? I thought his love affairs with Putin and Kim Jong would protect us from anyone that might want to attack the US?
Do you think he realizes it’s not LITERALLY a dome?
Simpsons did it!
His would be gold though
And in the shape of a T
It’s to keep us pesky Canadians from trebuchet-ing poutine over the border.
Are you telling me it’s futile to face north, open my mouth and hope for poutine to rain upon me?
Not yet?
Keep the cobra chickens at bay. Smort.
Hopefully it’s more to keep the attack geese out. Loons too.
About time! We in Michigan are tired of the moose raids from Canada. They swim across our half of the lake and eat up our maple syrup.
10 iron domes would not be enough!
What about 10 Gustav railway guns loaded with WP shells?
To protect the US from rockets from… Canada?
To protect him & his billionaire buddies from his fellow Americans.
To protect a future, thoroughly fascist America from the rest of the free world should the GOP seize permanent power.
TBF if the don gets in power that might eventually become a real concern.
“I was elected to lead, not to read.”
Number 3!
AND MEXICO WILL PAY FOR IT!!!
/s
Pretty sure we have multiple anti missile systems deployed already.
Also, who’s shooting missiles at America right now?
I mean, other than North Korea, but that’s like a 10 year old with a water rocket trying to blow up the school from across town.
Great, just what we need, an even louder Trump
Doesnt america already have one??? Also in the current geopolitical environment this may not be the worst idea ever…
Putin told him Russia could easily bomb the US and orange dump believed him
Trump wants a lot of stupid shit. In the interest of national security, he should not under any circumstances be given any of it.
And this man is potentially going to be elected to run a country.
