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.
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)
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
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

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. You’re saying the same thing as the other guy who replied to you.
If NORAD can keep us safe from Santa they can keep us safe from anything
Dude, nothing can protect us from Santa.

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
