Donald Trump said Tuesday that Canada will have to pay US$61 billion to be part of his “Golden Dome” space-based missile defence plan — but would pay nothing if it becomes part of the U.S., a message he claimed to have “told Canada” himself.
The social media post came hours after King Charles III delivered the speech from the throne in Canada’s Parliament, which particularly focused on asserting Canada’s sovereignty and included plans for bolstering national defence.
the mafia used to be good friends with old school unions back in the day. they would help them create “forever projects” like subway systems that went nowhere, or roads that went nowhere, sewers and drainage systems that werent necessary. mainly to get money from government contracts that would keep everyone paid. usually by bribing or threatening officials to sign off on the contracts.
this is “forever project” for elon.
pointless. as satellites can be easily hacked by “bad actors” as china and russia have proven already, and with the advances in AI automated systems advancing every day, or even them succumbing to “poisoning” with misleading data. this will be, much like the wall, full of fucking holes. this is just another way for them to drain more money out of americans, while attempting to scare canada into giving up “the cookies” and enriching those contracted to build these projects. which will be of course, subpar, abd wont work as advertised, if it ever actually gets off the ground.
it is possible for ANYONE to mess with a satellite, with the right know how and equipment. you dont have to be a world super power to do it. russia and china have demonstrated that they can already target and deactivate satellites. i literally watched a guy on youtube demonstrate how to do it with scrapped dishes from ebay and DIY arrays. fucking anonymous has done it several times to russia already.
long story short. its fucking stupid and it will likely cost as much as they want it to. based on a more realistic metric than the one they provided, somewhere just shy of 1 trillion dollars. 850 + or - billion. i would not be surprised if somewhere down the line they would find the need to “upgrade the existing system” and give even more tax payer money to billionaires and contractors for more of these forever projects.
its a big fucking expensive ass show.
and if anything it might also be possible to have those satellites turned AGAINST the US, to block their own nukes, while the enemies hit their now unguarded targets.
