Huh, why the minus votes? Is there anything wrong with the argument or is this political believers' reactions?
Airplanes [edit: and rocket artilleri, for that matter] in range is functionally the same thing as such a strike capacity, but cheaper.
There is no reaction from Canada and won't be; see the democratic peace theory.
According to that logic, Canada should already have that attitude to the US, since most of their population is inside aircraft range...
