The only place we've finally got is that no Patriot missile or Iron dome or Golden dome has the capability to shoot down hypersonic glide missiles. If Russia decides to fire an Avangard missile or if China fire a DF-17 there is no stopping it. The tech isn't advanced enough (yet).
By that point its too late anyway as America has a 'launch on warning' stance which would basically mean the end of humanity as China/Russia/US all fire everything they have.Which makes Peace through strength even more important. I’m pretty sure the Americans know what they are doing and are a bit more up to speed than you and your liberal sources are. To dismiss American technology is follie and not worth arguing about.Right............... so you need to control Greenland so you can 'protect' the northern hemisphere with technology that hasnt been invented yet.
awesome.

Patriot missilles cannot shoot down hypesonic missiles. Ballistic missiles - yes but it won't shoot down hyspersonic glide missiles. Hope this helps.
btw the "golden dome" is losely insprired by Israels Iron Dome which cannot shoot down hypersonic glide missiles either.US Inflation is down, GDP is up, thanks to Trump.

As for modern technology, The Patriot missile defense system is already shooting a bullet with a bullet. Trumps Golden Dome will be like his border wall, effective and worth every penny.
Funny how all these Liberal forecasts are always negative and always dead wrong. It’s as if their parents were cousins such is their absolute train wreck of policy and governance. Liberals really shouldn’t be allowed out in public unsupervised.They have caused inflation. Have a look at the 6 month trend on food (groceries and away from home), clothing, toys, home furnishing.

All he’s doing is making food, agriculture and pharmaceutical imports more expensive for the US consumer or US importers.
about 30% of US pharmaceutical imports come from the EU, and c20% of food and agriculture imports.
btw with modern technology it’s still almost impossible to shoot down 1 hypersonic missile. Just one.

I think rats leaving a sinking ship is the perfect analogy.
For years Farage has said dont trust a tory, he's welcoming them en masse now.
Politicians sling a bit of mud in the past shocker.
It's all a big fucking game, when all is said and done, they are more aligned to Reform. The Tory Party has been a left centre party since the day Cameron took over.
The party is miles away from what it should stand for, it's not their fault the ship is sinking. It went against the will of the people by not properly navigating Brexit, and it died off the back of it, and will never recover.
You can't use your brain on any of this, becausebeca're blinded by your hatred of Reform. They are the only show in town now, for better or not as bad.Glad you agree with the analogy ED son.

The common theme with Trump is he wants to end the extreme left. He wants to bring down the EU and the Canadian Gov’t. He wants to be able to protect the USA from Russian hypersonic missiles which is why he wants Greenland, Denmark are incapable. After all the years of propping up NATO and all the Billions given to Ukraine you’d think the EU would show a little gratitude and understanding to an Ally’s concerns. Especially an Ally that you need on your side ffs!You have gone mad.
Just relax a bit; It will help.The only mad people around are the gimps that still support what the Beuracrats in Europe are doing to the Continent. Perhaps you should wake up it will help.
