Senior Canadian diplomat compares Trump's Golden Dome missile program to a 'protection racket'

Think more like organized crime. Pay us money and we'll "protect" your business (read: bribe us and we won't fuck your shit up).

It's like the fire department pulling up to your house and going "Nice house you got there, shame if something were to happen to it, know what i mean?". "Good thing you got us here to put out the flames, should they spontaneously ignite purely by happenstance." *knowing grins all around
