Trumps vision for a missile-defense shield would protect the continental US from any missile, fired from anywhere. The cost would be massive. Early feedback it could maybe stop NK or Iran, but not an attack from Russia or China. They would use a combo of ICBMs, Hypersonic, low Earth orbit, and subs. But with a threat that could end us - is it something we should pursue? “The White House envisions its Golden Dome incorporating missiles on the ground, a network of orbital sensors and even satellites designed to knock down projectiles soon after they launch. The Congressional Budget Office issued rough estimates as high as $831 billion, partly based on historical rocket-launch costs. Sen. Tim Sheehy (R., Mont.) said the full project would probably cost trillions of dollars in the long run. “….calling the Golden Dome “nothing more than a gold-plated giveaway to billion-dollar defense contractors.” BBC has a analysis of Israel’s’ Iron Dome Can Trump's pricey 'Golden Dome' missile defence system be done? https://www.wsj.com/politics/nation...92204?st=L6KnTT&reflink=article_copyURL_share

In other words, we need Canada for the Golden Dome to work properly but didn't discuss with them before making the announcement. Now we're trying to bully them into becoming a state or paying an exorbitant amount for something that they don't want or need.
Let’s hope not, because it seems our intercept missiles would likely blow up before they reached any targets.
Israel's Golden Dome only protects from short and intermediate-range missiles, not ICBMs nor Hypersonics. Would take innovative engineering to include them.
