Just another liberal unwilling to cut back or reign in the military - as any true liberal would want to do.

Just another useless tit from queerbek that doesn't give a flying funk about our once great country.

Well, then we have no reason to complain about whatever Trump decides to do.
It's not like we weren't warned.

Hey OB come on over to the other thread where this is being discussed and a lot more info there as well

Just out of curiosity. . . what exactly are the threats from which you are defending yourselves?

 

[Hoid]

Canada play a small role in global military matters - a far greater role than it should.

US expansion

US expansion

Sooner or later, our descendants might have to cope with the very thing. It will likely be tied to the planet's diminishing fresh water supply.

Look at Canada’s role in the two great wars and tell yourself that again .

 

[Hoid]

Canada cannot stop US military expansion.

it is ridiculous to consider it.

We could if our alliances were sufficiently close, deep and powerful.

Anyway, I'm looking 100-200 years into the future and the US of that time could easily be a divided, diminished third rate power by then.

Canada historically has proven that it can and has



No nation on this planet could stop the USA individually not even Russia or China if the U.S. put their full effort into it.


I was just responding to T-Bones in a sarcastic way thus the wink, seriously our concerns at the present time are aligned with a lot of the U.S. concerns, with our world commitments.

 

[Hoid]

Canada has proven no such thing

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

US expansion

Yer gonna need a bigger boat.

No? I believe British/Canadian militia burnt down the Whitehouse once after pushing back American forces from the border.

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

No? I believe British/Canadian militia burnt down the Whitehouse once after pushing back American forces from the border.

Could you do it again?

Please?

Sorry Twin... that's a myth.

Or not.

That's right. We just burnt down Youngstown, Lewisport, Niarara Falls, Buffalo and and the Tuscarora villages in retaliation for having Newark burnt to the ground in a snow storm, on a half hours notice, ten days before Christmas because the Kentukians just "felt the urge".

Probably, no Canadians were in Washington.

Pity.

Or not.

That's how the Romans saw their unending world too, Walter.

... and the Spanish, British, Portuguese, Austrians ...
