Canada’s ambassador to the United Nations has compared U.S. President Donald Trump’s Golden Dome missile defense program to a “protection racket” after Trump said his northern neighbor can pay $61 billion to join the program or it could be free if the country agrees to annexation.
What is a “protection racket”? Is that like Unions?
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
