How would the US feel if Russia put a missile defense site in Canada?

But then, they seem to be awful quick to arm our adversaries.

Bully for them.

A dozen or two interceptors are no threat to the huge arsenals of the United States and Russia. However, if you're a North Korea or Iran, and you're struggling to build even a handful of intermediate or intercontinental range missiles... (hey, this is "rocket science") Then those relatively few interceptors effectively negate your arsenal.

If NoKorea was threatening to nuke Russia by flying missiles over the North Pole to Moscow, and offered to consult with us along the way about what they were doing, maybe not so bad.

Of course there are no real parallels between the US and the smoldering remnants of the USSR.

Russia isn't allied to Canada. The US did not side with Nazi Germany to occupy Canada.

Seeing as canada was never part of the US(or taken over like the soviets did eastern europe), and is a democracy and NATO/Norad member it would never happen. They dont trust the russians either.

Who would they plausibly be defending themselves from? Cmon, Russia screaming about a purely DEFENSIVE move is absurd - and out of line. It's none of their business what national security arrangements we have with other countries. Russia's simply angry the Czech is out of it's control.
