They can't stop said missile, we have no BMD defensive technology near any Canadian city and don't have Aegis equip destroyers off out shore line.


Its not a matter of won't, its a matter of can't.

The interceptors have a range of 200 KM and less around the deployment site. The Aegis has to be pretty much in a position under the missile.

this isn't Trump and the American's being A-holes, this is about the government not under standing how this works. Or people in the military understanding how it works and not being able to explain it to the government
