    Bad news for Trump's Golden Dome: He can't build it without Canada

    The president would have to rely on his "51st state" to track Chinese
    and Russian missiles that could come at the U.S. from over the
    horizon.

    Is it normal to feel really dumb?

    I would not think Canada is a target of interest.

    "Shashank Joshi, defence editor at the Economist, said while the US
    military would take the plan very seriously, it was unrealistic to
    think the system would be completed during Trump's term, and that its
    cost would take up a large part of the defense budget"

    Because Trump would want to charge rent to live under the dome.
