Just wanted to say hello to everyone, I am new to this site. This missile defence topic is something I am involved in. I am in the Canadian Airforce at NORAD.
The entire missile defence system, and it is a system, is designed to intercept a missile, or a few missiles fired from a so call rouge nation. Not designed to stop the cold war style massed missile attack.
The US has asked for nothing from us but support. All the missile interceptors will be based in Alaska, Calif, and on US Navy ships at sea. The US wants to intergrate the missile defence system into the current NORAD air defence system. For that, they need our approval, as we are partners in NORAD. No support from Canada, and the US will go ahead anyway with missile defence. Eventually they will go thier own way with continental air defence, leaving us behind.... We really don't want that.
