New warships to cost more than $100-billion

[captain morgan]

I never said no military. Just not one to defend against a Mars attack.The US military is powerful enough to fend off an intergalactic invasion.

The is not far off where the US military is not going to automatically send their resources to every conflict at the drop of a hat in being the Earth's policeman... In fact, I don't understand why they don't charge for these services when some blood-thirsty theocracy in the ME decides to wage attacks on their neighbours.

Think about it Machjo, the US would gladly defend Canada's borders, but are you comfortable getting a multi-billion dollar invoice at the end for the service?

WE BEEN GETTING FUKKED BY THE US FOR FREE FOR DECADES and now they want to charge us for it?

 

[EagleSmack]

Navies don't patrol or defend coastlines as a rule.

Right... we wait for their ships to leave port and follow them.

ROFL.

That did make me laugh.

Yep, and meet them on the high seas. There's another organisation that guards the coasts. Oddly enough, it's called the Coast Guard. Weird, huh?

 

[EagleSmack]

Mind boggling actually.

 

[Machjo]

1. Build the Keystone Pipeline.

2. Impose a $1 per gallon "defence fee" on all the crude that flows through it to the U.S.

3. Snicker while the Yanks scream like wounded wildebeests.

Not good policy, but still almost tempting for the humour.

 

[darkbeaver]

Thee vessels will be defending corporate interests first and second. What we should build and point are nuclear armed missiles just like Israel has. I would like to remind everyone that Canada and the rest of the west has already been defeated from within.

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

Not good policy, but still almost tempting for the humour.

And how is humour not good policy? Beats the self-congratulatory chest-thumping and unadulterated buffalo dung that passes for policy these days.

 

[BaalsTears]

Have you heard about the voyage of the Snow Dragon? The Canadian Arctic will be contested by the People's Republic of China. China needs resources, Canada has it, god help you folks.

 

[CDNBear]

Fiscal conservatism, but only for the things I want.

You guys are worse than the nimby's.

I got this far and couldn't go on through the laughter caused by your hypocrisy!!!

 

[petros]

Arctic defense ? That's funny,

 

[Angstrom]

Do you know how friken cold it is up there? You want to spend 100 billion for the next 30 years for one ship to defend that frozen wasteland? I don't even care what resource there could be up there. I don't even want to think about freezing my *** off trying to extract anything from that frozen death land.

Anyone dumb enough to even go up there deserve whatever crap he can find.
Crazy Americans think it's some kind of winter wonderland up there.. It's a frozen death trap...

What don't you understand? It's not suitable for life, it's so friken cold.

So I take it you aren't a big Suzuki fan?

Russia gonna strike any day now.

They do make good cars

 

[CDNBear]

No they don't, but I was referring to David.

|Actually, they just needed work and votes on the east coast.

 

[Angstrom]

No they don't, but I was referring to David.

Ya I know,

Honestly, I don't even know what David thinks, hard to be a fan.
Do I think like him? I don't know. Maybe you can tell me.

I don't know how he thinks

WTF are babbling about now?

 

[Angstrom]

You asked I answered.

I'm not a fan of David.. I don't know what he stands for other then tree hugging,
and I'm a carpenter, so I'm for cutting down as many trees a year as possible.

Ummm, ya, I was just curious about the "what he thinks" "what you think" "you tell me" nonsense.
