Should Mr Hegseth invade Greenland or Panama first?

[mudwhistle]

90% of our population lives within 100 miles of the US border. Our weather in our populous areas is no different than that of tge midwestern USA.

Cabin fever? We live in cities and towns. With movie theatres, community centres and shopping malls.

The Canadian government doesn’t control half the stuff the US government controls. Canadians have far more personal freedoms than Americans.

Far more Americans move to Canada than the other way around.

Brown people aren’t the cause of crime. Poverty is the cause of crime. Racism breeds poverty.

Far more Americans move to Canada because there are far more Americans to begin with. There are over 300 million Americans and only 25 million Canadians, so of course fewer of you would want to move here, and most of you are just looking for jobs and a different way of life. Most Americans that move to Canada either tried to escape the draft or escape Trump.

And what breeds poverty is drug abuse and people having babies outside of marriage guaranteeing poverty. And part of the reason you don't have so much racism in Canada is because you don't have as many concentrations of black or brown people in your cities like we do.

Now, we have a new cause of poverty. DEI government that doesn't know how to run their cities which tends to cause more homelessness.

 

[Dragonlady]

I didn't say you were not there... I said that you do nowhere NEAR as much as we do, to defend The West.

Canada had little choice with respect to either WW1 or WW2... you were part of the Empire ...OBLIGED to go... you had little choice.

As to the rest...yep... we've done some stupid things in our time... but if not for us you'd be speaking German or Russian.

There will be no civil war.

That madness has passed.

Much to your (and Liberalism's) chagrin.

Your own limp citizenry doesn't have the collective courage to Take Up Sides... unless it's keeping the Frogs under your thumb.

Do you think that because Republicans won this election that the “madness has passed”? The madness certainly had not passed when Trump lost in 2020 and tried to overthrow the election.

What happens when Republicans lose the next election? Which they will?

The violence and the refusal to accept election results all lies with right wing Republicans who refuse to accept that they’re losing elections.

What would’ve happened if Trump had lost? Would you be all peaceful and happy with that?

This was a very close election, regardless of what the electoral college says. Trump has been bleeding support since the day he won because he’s backtracked on all of his campaign promises and has talked crazy about invading other countries.

I wouldn’t be getting all smug uncomfortable. If I were you, because Trump is going to land in a shit storm the day he walks back into the White House.

The world is ready for him this time, and he’s going to get the shock of his life.

You don’t know jack shit about why people move to Canada. They move here for the health care, the lack of crime and guns, and for better schools and communities.

They marry Canadians, which is the PRIMARY reason Canadians move to the USA. All of the people I know who moved to the USA did so because they married Americans.

Canadians don’t go to the US looking for jobs. We have all the jobs here we can deal with and they pay better here than they do in the USA.

In addition, we don’t have to shell out $12,000 a piece from our wages for health insurance and then pay copays on top. What a scam that is!!!

Which do you do first, move across the border, or marry someone across the border? Kind of difficult to meet people from another country if you don't live there for awhile.
People usually meet people at work. You usually don't go across the border just to meet people at a bar.
So most of the time people have already moved or have to work across the border.

BTW, if Canada is so great, why do you only have the population of one forth of Germany?

As long as the American taxpayer is the sucker and pays for others outside the nation it is okay with you. The reality is that we are becoming more and more socialist internally. And it costs money to do so. So, there are people ion different groups who win from it and people who lose from it. Canada has benefitted from its location in the world and with a benevolent nation protecting it from foreign potential enemies for a long time. Greenland also. Internal socialistic American policies though are taking more and more resources from what you benefit from.

NOBODY asked you to “Defend the West”. You did that for your own reasons and you made a LOT of money doing it. Fear of Russian influence and communism was always the excuse for installing some of the most brutal right wing dictatorships the world has ever seen. The Shah of Iran, Ferdinand Marcos, Saddam Hussein, Manuel Noriega, Pinochet in Chile.

And then the IMF and the World Bank came in and set up a nice auction of publically owned railroads, and utilities for US corporate interests to pick up cheap.

American arms sales were $80 billion last year alone.

How do you think the USA become became the wealthiest nation in the world?

 

[Tommy Tainant]

If we believe what you people say, and Trump has all of this power to do whatever he wants..........he should invade you 1st, lol..........or maybe 300th, but invade.

In that case, we will protect you instantly.

But then again, if you actually believed Trump was going to invade you, you wouldn't be on here shooting of your mouth, now would you! Instead, like everyone who was afraid, they would be hiding, lol.

Hey maybe you are afraid............that your stuff won't be delivered on time, and we should all fall to our knees, hehehehehehe. So damn PHONY and PATHETIC YOU are!

You seem upset when we discuss trumps nutty suggestions. Probably because it shows how crazy he is.

 

[Papageorgio]

You clearly know NOTHING about Canada or Canadians.

Canadians wouldn’t tolerate the drop in our income or our standard of living.

$12000 per year plus co-pays for health insurance. Go fuck yourself.

$7.50 minimum wage. Go fuck yourself.

Guns. Gay marriage. Reproductive health care for women. Equal rights for all. We’re not giving them up.

41,000,000 people, 80% of whom think Trump is an idiot and would never vote Republican.

Our Consetvative Party is to the LEFT of your Democrats. Think about that.

Good by luck with that.

Wow a TRIGGERED coward. Your hero Trudeau is a coward, a misogynistic, corrupt racist quitter that is leaving his office with a country worse off than when he started. You are an idiot and a hypocrite supporting such a person, your opinion means nothing.

 

[imawhosure]

Lololol, the pot calling the kettle black, hehehehehehehe. I show how phony and crazy you people are, and you attempt to flip the script to me. Pretty good move Tommy, but as we all know, come Monday...........you and all your LEFTIST CULT members, are going to go BAT SH** CRAZY over the EOs coming out in the 1st 24hrs, dismantling the Kingdom of BRIBE-A-LOT, created by Jose and Mamala-)

 

[Kondor3]

Do you think that because Republicans won this election that the “madness has passed”? The madness certainly had not passed when Trump lost in 2020 and tried to overthrow the election.

Yes, I do, indeed, think the madness has passed.

We have stopped attacking each other.

Attention is now shifting to our 20,000,000+ Illegal Aliens.

What happens when Republicans lose the next election? Which they will?

I don't know. And neither do you. Nor are either of us equipped to (reliably) predict that.

The violence and the refusal to accept election results all lies with right wing Republicans who refuse to accept that they’re losing elections.

The hope is, that January 6, 2021, was a "one-off"; never to be repeated, once the Bad Orange Man has left the stage.

What would’ve happened if Trump had lost? Would you be all peaceful and happy with that?

Yes. This time around... yes... confidence is fairly high that it would have been more peaceful.

This was a very close election, regardless of what the electoral college says. Trump has been bleeding support since the day he won because he’s backtracked on all of his campaign promises and has talked crazy about invading other countries.

I am reserving judgment until he's sworn-in and begins acting rather than talking.

I wouldn’t be getting all smug uncomfortable. If I were you, because Trump is going to land in a shit storm the day he walks back into the White House.

I didn't vote for him because I do not trust him as Custodian of the Republic, but, given that I didn't have much more confidence in Kamala nor the Democrats I'm not all-that-upset that my "team" lost in 2024. It's now time to observe.

The world is ready for him this time, and he’s going to get the shock of his life.

If you say so. We'll know soon enough, won't we? At least he's better than that pu$$y Trudeau that you just dumped.

 

[Kondor3]

NOBODY asked you to “Defend the West”.

Had we not done so you would be speaking German or Russian by now.

Our "external mandate" began with desperate pleas from UK PM Winston Churchill, and continued into the post-war years given our relative untouched strength and reserves, and given the relative miserable condition of the rest of The West to defend themselves due to war-exhaustion and impoverishment and loss of empire in the years following WWII and beyond. Had we not stepped in to fill that void so you would quite probably not be free to opine on this message board this very day.

You... the British Empire and Commonwealth... and the French... failed to stop Adolf Hitler in the 1930s while he still COULD be stopped. That was a matter of profound cowardice and previous-war-exhaustion on your part that cost you (and us) dearly during WWII. We stayed out of it until we were attacked; passive-aggressively helping you-and-yours with Lend-Lease and finances and training until the aggressors pushed their luck with us.

"Asked" us to defend the West?

"...and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old."​

Sound familiar?

You characters in Mooselandia couldn't do it... we could... there was nobody else... we are your friends... so we stepped up. You did your part, and bravely, but it was nowhere near enough, which is why the UK PM was desperate for us to do so.

You did that for your own reasons and you made a LOT of money doing it.

Yep.

It's great when you can work for yourselves and make a $hitload of money while helping friends and (remote) kinsmen.

Your inability to do the same is not our cross to bear.

Fear of Russian influence and communism was always the excuse for installing some of the most brutal right wing dictatorships the world has ever seen. The Shah of Iran, Ferdinand Marcos, Saddam Hussein, Manuel Noriega, Pinochet in Chile.

Yep. "Amicus meus, inimicus inimici mei." ( The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend ).

How many times did the British Empire cozy-up to the Russians or Indian or Chinese or Arabic warlords?

Too many to count.

People who live in glass defunct empires should not throw stones.

And then the IMF and the World Bank came in and set up a nice auction of publically owned railroads, and utilities for US corporate interests to pick up cheap.

Fun, ain't it?

American arms sales were $80 billion last year alone.

Jealous?

How do you think the USA become became the wealthiest nation in the world?

By selling weapons to stupid people to kill each other?

By being the world's bread basket for decades?

By staying out of your stupid wars until we were ready to jump-in?

By industrializing to an extent and on a scale never before seen in human history?

Because few people live north of the Arctic Circle.

Few people live in Russia for the same reason.

Not hard at all when everyone vacations on the other side of the border, and does business back and forth.

That “pussy Trudeau” handed Trump his ass on a plate and sent Donnie running from the G7.

Wash rinse and repeat for the rewriting of NAFTA. Trump blew those negotiations which is why he’s now threatening us with tariffs. Both Canada and Mexico INCREASED their trade surplus as a result of Trumps deal which is why he’s talking tariffs again.

Evidence of this bullshit? Trudeau is leaving the nation in much better shape than he started.

GDP had v the highest growth in decades. Ditto wages. Low inflation.

Few people live in Russia for the same reason.

Russia has a population of 125,000,000. But the primary reason Russia doesn't have more people than China is because they're not as good at keeping them from escaping. And they also have this history of murdering more of their own people than their enemies during wars.

The deal is, socialist countries have to have trade surpluses to survive. For the most part they're just interested in spending money. They have to rip countries off that have money. The way they do it is by paying off our politicians (mostly Democrats) under the table.

Democrats have no compunction with screwing their own people over cash and beachfront properties.

That’s why his approval rating is sky high and he had to resign.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

I should probably include Canada and Mexico in that list.

My money is on Panama and I will explain why. Its the middle of winter and there is 10 feet of snow all over the frozen north. Armies dont fare well in Aectic conditions. Pete is a canny operator. He will have advisors whispering these facts in his ear.

Canada and Greenland can wait till the spring at which point the Canal will be wrapped up and forces can then be sent to the tundra that is essential to the US security.

Its all doable within 12 months. I forsee the foundations of the Trump Ecolodge and Casino being laid before xmas.

Then Prez Trump can turn his atteentions to more serious matters like a new name for New Mexico and a mandate on bands to use the Trump guitar.

The GOP Is No Longer the Party of National Security

America’s allies and enemies watched as Trump’s pick for defense secretary failed to quell concerns about his character and qualifications.

Neither. Mr. Hegseth has invaded leftards weak brainwashed minds.

I think we should invade the UK first.

America doesn’t need another middle eastern war.

That is a completely ignorant post. I don't think the Chinese even completely stop people from leaving like under Mao. And the population was so large they wanted them to have less kids.

China is millennia old. Russia is not, plus the climate is quite different.
