Just keep that in mind.

That's exactly the reason why I support the U.S. in times like these.

If you were the USSR, would you rather:
a) Sail across the Pacific, with many American naval bases in your path
b) Sail across the Atlantic, with NATO naval bases along the way
c) Or... use Canada as a landing point. You sail across the Arctic Ocean...by FAR less sea distance.
Any country would be out of it's mind to choose either a or b, which is why radar stations were built in Arctic Canada.
What do you have to say about that?
