Yeah, given Trump's timelines on building the wall, I think we can safely expect this to never be finished. This will be yet another indefinite Republican drain on American tax dollars.
It's one of those things that sounds great, but requires a monumental effort to build and this administration lacks any kind of competence to make it happen.
Hegseth said we couldn't even block hypersonic missiles so China could sink our entire fleet in minutes, yet thinks we will not only be able to build a defense system well enough to block them but block them from hitting all of the U.S. and Canada in 3 years, even from space. Who could possibly believe that?
I mean the US has fielded and expanded GBI for years now and no nuclear war has broken out.
As an EU citizen hearing daily how putin threatens to kill us all I'm glad we are investing into missile defense aswell, instead of our lives being in the hands of a madman.
So, who's got the inside track on which company is paying the largest bribe for the contract? If tax dollars are going to be diverted to line Trump's pockets, we might as well catch some of that money by riding the stock bump when the contract is announced. Maybe get some puts on the stock if we manage to elect a less corrupt President in four years.
Surprise! Musk is ready to step in, because they will tailor the requirements to him, and he lies about everything anyway so no other bidders would even come close.
I fucking hate Axios. Their format sucks, and they don't even explain what this is. It's related to the one in Israel, but Canada wants to be covered somehow?
Fucking LOL!!
It'll take that long to get the first draft of the requirements document for this stupid thing.

Yeah, upgrading basic government accounting software can take longer than that.
In fact, they don't care about Canada as long as the nuclear weapons detonate far enough from the border.
Ah so Mexico and the Caribbean need protection as well then.
Not really since they aren't on the shortest path of Russian missiles to the USA.
Many will believe it; the nay sayers will be ignored by the propaganda
Ah, but it will funnel said taxpayer's money into the right cronies' pockets.
And how do we pay for this?
You see…we cut taxes for the wealthiest Americans and then…a tariff happens…and then Mexico pays for it?
You forgot the really important part: deporting "immigrants".
We don't, Canada does.
Someone hasn't watched enough mobster movies.
Yeah so Canada can prove that they want to be our friend and buy it.
Canada is paying for it with tariffs
The anti-nuclear weapon shield we all agreed not to develop because it nullifies the nuclear deterrent, and makes nuclear war inevitable?
That shield?

This is some Mr. Burns-type shit
For just $1 billion down payment, I will build it in 2 years for half of that. I pinky promise.
He'll cancel it as soon as someone explains to him it's not a physical dome and he can't "go see it."
Tell him it's already installed, they just made it clear for clarity reasons.

More like 175 trillion ?
