The us military is also too professional to consider following orders to attack Canada. They would not accept the risk and reputational damage that would come with breaking the NATO treaties and undermining the general security of the west.

Directly support as the commenter I was replying to was implying. Europe is not barely holding back Russia. Ukraine is. Article 5 would be invoked and the NATO states would decide what support to send. Greece and Turkey fighting over some i

Thats the question. How much does Trump actually understand the context and how far will he go?

by throaway89 2y ago
I do realize that. The war in Ukraine is not being supported by Nato. They are sending supplies but the alliance is not entering Ukraine against Russia so as to not create a wider conflict. Note that Ukraine is not a NATO signatory while Ca

Yeah I kinda left that out. The Quiet revolution was about secularism and Franco rights in their own province.

Yes, an American invasion of Canada would immeidately set the stage for a worldwide rationale for opposing US interests.

It actually does help, in fact it helps MORE if you cant afford a house, or are homeless, to have a strong social net. Not arguing that the US isn't richer or can offer more financial resources to its citizens.

Securing your own position is contingent on having a proper deterrence to US invasion or belligerence. Unless you are thinking of appeasing them, but I doubt that European defense minds would consider that.

Trump is just throwing out every threat he can. There's simply no realistic way to unilaterally take Canada, or the canal, or Greenland.

This is my analysis too. Trump is all about brinkmanship. Scare everyone else and bring them to the edge of the precipice that you know they dont want to go over. Then extract concessions. Its desperation, not sustainable, but it works as l

Brexit wasnt a joke, it was the culmination of decades of anti-EU sentiment in the UK.

Who in their right mind would not? If im the leader of a European country, and I see the US go rogue and annex their closest neighbour and longest ally, thats a clear message that the US can not be trusted.

The social services are better in Canada though. The big downside is the lack of quickly available treatment for serious-but-not-life-threatening illness.

A protest which isn't allowed to do anything other than raise voices is a powerless and toothless protest.

yeah what people dont always understand (not saying you dont) is that FLQ supporters see themselves as basically being occupied by Anglo Canadians. Until the 60's there was entrenched discrimination in Montreal against catholics and fr

what is a bot motel and how do you run one?

Yup. Hasn't been cool in Canada since legalization, but a lot of milennials still cling to it

Roma and Romanians are two different things.

Im sure the Scots would have fought to the last Scotsman, but I think they would lose in the end.

England annexed Wales and Ireland and would have annexed Scotland if it didn't use marriage instead.

My score was 3, which isn't indicative of a overly rough life. But I was a gifted kid, reading at 3, straight A's all the way through University. Always had bad emotional problems though. Turned into a really bad porn/sex add

Reminds me of my cat who, after his first experience with winter (hated it), gave me a look of complete and utter shock and disgust upon seeing that it was happening AGAIN, the following year.

Desireable. Not beautiful, or at least not more beautiful than women of average or slim build. It wasn't attractive to be heroin chic or rail-thin like a 90's supermodel, but it also wasn't attractive to be obese or heavily o
