You're absolutely right; I could have maybe ended the war and the political division in this country with a couple of well thought out posts....and perhaps a meme....or a gif maybe???

To say that it's a huge windfall for the US when Nato countries spend money on defence is not exactly accurate.
Pratt set up a huge shop in the city of Kalisz, Poland where they maintain and rebuild the turbine engines used by the Polish airforce. This was a huge benefit to the local economy.
My employer who was Canadian set up a Polish division and opened two shops in Poland to support Pratt. All our employees over there were Polish nationals.

Nato spending is a windfall for the local economy as much or more than for the US support vendors.

So you are telling me the US government has protested Canadian oil? Or as I said, is it private citizens with business interests in mind? Exactly like many Canadian
citizens that fund protests to protect their cash cows.
Also,we have political parties in Canada that are
determined to shut down our O&G industry and you are
scared of the Americans??? The Americans consider
Canadian oil, they don’t want to see our oil flow stop.
Except Trudeau isn't smart enough to play checkers, and Biden can't remember which color he is.

[QUOTE=Sundancefisher;4700904]They wanted Canada in NATO because we are a huge geopolitical buffer to Russia. They have control over monitoring of threats to the US border but their monitoring is in Northern Canada.

If Canada were to have aligned with Russia it would of be a monster out disaster for the US.



That is stupid. If canada had aligned with Russia the USA would have taken us over without a shot, and we would be paying today to defend the greater USA like we should have been paying to defend ourselves instead of peeping from behind the pants of the americans

And Hamas hasn’t attacked Israel during trump administration either. He cut all the funding to the PLO and HAMAS. The moment Biden walked in and released the funds to Iran and PLO- the attacked resumed.

While Putin hid in a cave over fear of Covid… Zelensky was told by the US that they have a ride to get him evacuated out of Kiev at the start of the war.

He went on TV and stared at the camera that he didn’t want a ride… he wanted weapons to fight.

Zelensky has been to the front lines multiple times. He’s done reports to the population from the street while knowing assassination squads were in Ukraine.

So this guy, who entertained the masses, acted in a show in which he was the leader was put on a ballot as a joke and then was elected democratically.

Then has become one of the most admired war time leaders of all time.

In contrast… Putin wasn’t democratically elected. As a dictator he does what he wants. He has body doubles to be at public events. He has rarely, rarely gone anywheres near the front lines. Between this and Covid he has been shown to be a coward. Who is Putin’s favourite supporter? Donald Trump. Crazy world.

Putin can only dream he had Zelensky’s talent. Even when playing hockey… the teams let him win to look good… they always have. The talent of sitting on a horse shirtless is not a talent.
Lol that all halarious... War time leader of all time? All he does is fly around demanding more money from all the other countries.. A war time leader would have had a strong military living next door to big bad Putin a sane person would think.

Zelensky must have bee flying that solo jet called the ghost of kyiv... Lol

It was something he said 5 years ago to spur the other militaries to cough up some actual help. Of course the usuual crooked media take it out of context much like they did with "Grab 'em by the.......". during the last election.I'm surprised such dirty tactics still get some people foaming at the mouths. Smoke and mirrors all of it. Meanwhile look at the real problems out there that get a media pass, trudy, brandon, and all of the other WEF crooks.

Don’t feed the trolls.

They are out looking for a snack it seems.

The foreign troll farms have got them doing their bidding even on outdoors forums.

Actually Iran is In Russias pocket, so if you’re looking for someone to blame….The bigger question is “why in the world should the west lose any sleep over Israel, but not Ukraine”

Now they have found out that UNRWA has been complicit and secretly helping Hamas. Tunnels, power etc. right under the hospital and the school etc. The UN is corrupt as they come.

Directly beneath UNRWA's Gaza headquarters, IDF ... (High light and paste).
