I wish they had the cultural ability to coexist like English and French Canadians.
- celticninja 4y agoWhat you mean is you wish Russia had the ability to coexist with it's neighbors. Your comment seems to indicate both countries are equally to blame for the war. That is not the case.
- acadapter 4y agoI didn't talk about blame at all. Sometimes I get the urge to say fair and peaceful statements in very infected topics and watch/listen to the strong reaction.
- varjag 4y agoTrivializing the death and suffering leads to strong reactions indeed.
- celticninja 4y agoSo concern trolling, take it elsewhere please.
- PeterisP 4y agoWhile sometimes you may get the urge to say fair and peaceful statements, that statement was neither fair nor peaceful.
- drowsspa 4y ago"Joke's on them, I was only pretending"
- thriftwy 4y agoCanada coexists with the USA, but if Canada has tried to outlaw English and make French the only state language, some different story could materialize.
- psiops 4y agoYou think the US would invade Canada if they change the official language of their state?
- thriftwy 4y agoMaybe not all of Canada, but I can imagine a mutually cooperative transfer of Vancouver to the USA. Vancouver no longer wanting to be in, combined with American desire to enlarge Point Roberts.
- defrost 4y agoI can't see the US making Spanish their official language any time soon.
- mhuffman 4y agoNo, but what if China started setting up military installations in Canada on the US border with Canada's blessing, or even insinuated that it would? How do you think that would go? Not simping for Russia here, but this is not a simple and straight-forward issue.
- dirtyid 4y agoMore historically apt US had plans to annex British Canada when Canada was British proxy that threatened US security. Canada only coexisted with US when Britain conceded influence over Canada which was forced to become geopolitically aligned to US. Extrapolate to RU/URK, PRC/TW. Big countries want their neighbours either aligned or toothless buffer states.
- mopsi 4y ago> No, but what if China started setting up military installations in Canada on the US border with Canada's blessing, or even insinuated that it would? This is a dumb Russian PR narrative. Until 2014, the presence of US military in Europe was decreasing and European countries were dismantling their Cold War stocks too. For example, last American tanks left Europe in 2013[1], and Germany went from 3800 tanks in 1980s to 200 today[2].
