Appro Pro "The Magic Dome"

I was just listening to Trumps ambassador to Canada relaying his Glorious Leader's lies and warnings.

Among the things he referenced was the intent of the US of NA to deploy a "Golden Dome" to protect themselves from attack, at a cost of $175 Billion. and he was insisting that Canada pay its fair share of this cost.

Well first and foremost we can be sure the price is a lie - because as Mark Twain warned "when a yankee trader calls it a good deal - you've just been taken". Multiply the estimate by 10 and it might be closer to reality.

Secondly it should be remembered that the "bad guys" will not be aiming at innocuous Canada but will have the US of NA in their sights because that's who is currently pissing off the whole world. Therefore Canada should make a payment of $0 as their fair share. In fact the US should pay Canada for the inevitable attack on NA their provocative actions promote and the collateral damage that will ensue..

Just something to keep in mind.

Do you mean "apropos," as in at an opportune time, or is Appro Pro a product or program name?

I was trying to understand what you were saying. I know apropos is Latin French, and it doesn't mean "I'm coming for," but I couldn't understand what you were trying to say.

Ugh sorry for the stupid language thing.
