Since the end of WW2 has their been such immigration numbers? Also, such numbers from non-western countries post WW2? Immigration is largely to keep the wages down. Surely you know that. Why are you repeating neoliberal ownership propaganda

The USA has a long history of bullying Canada, long before tRump. He's just more blatant and obvious about it. There is such a concept of carrot and stick. If the USA wants Canada to be a "good" (in the eyes of America) neigh

For the same reason that the USA would go ape-shit if Canada allowed Chinese military bases on Canadian soil. Given the fact that tRump has threatened Canada it would be justified on Canada's part to invite those military bases but it

They were not offered NATO membership. Putin hinted to Clinton he would like it. Clinton didn't respond. Came back later (after consulting with his staff) and declined the offer. Putin is smart enough to know that Russia is in no posit

Don't encroach NATO on their doorstep. Bring Russia into NATO. USA strategy has been to keep Russia and Germany separated. They fear that combo as a potential rival superpower. The division of Europe from Russia is exactly what the Ame

tRump is a bully. Bullies don't pick on those who are strong enough to fight back. That's why he doesn't say anything about Russia or China. If Russia was in the position it was in the early to mid nineties tRump would very m

There are two things Canada is guilty of. 1) it spent far too little on its military 2) it trusted the Americans far too much by tying its economy so deeply with the USA. If you subtract the oil purchased by the USA, Canada has a trade surp

Just wait til America is ruled by someone with high intelligence AND tRump's guile. Fixes: for the love of God, fixed terms for Supreme Court nominees. No? Do the EU Elite and the Democrats still think that its Putin who is the Evil On

Who can bring charges in this instance? Even if there is a perceived slim chance of success I still think charges should be brought forward. At the very least it might make some of these psychopaths hesitate to do the same. Maybe. And while

It's the Elites that are the problem. Yes, there is a sizeable "mob" who are brainwashed by the Elites into being ugly too. The Elites call the shots. So if America is behaving in an ugly way the blame lies almost exclusively

Do u think the tRump administration did this to benefit the Venezuelan people? They dont give a damn about the Venezuelan people. They want the oil sold cheap and in $US and the minerals. Venezuelans will get nothing out of this. Nothing.
