Is Russia going to invade Canada? 🙄
I fucking hate how liberals have turned into NatSec war hawks and are demanding every country from Canada to Portugal buy more fucking fighter jets. Instead of wasting money on the MIC how about they invest in their people?
Trump has said on multiple occasions that Canada WILL become the 51st state. In order to keep at least a modicum of democracy alive here we must fight to save it, because every form of diplomacy we've tried has failed.
Trump wants Canada under his thumb, and when someone tells you who they are and what they want, believe them.
So yes, we need everything we can get to help the nation survive, including fighter jets ... although tbf I'm not even sure we'd get them in time. But we have to try, no matter what.
If that's not your thing, fine. You have every right to choose differently. But don't condemn those of us who are willing to fight.
Trump says a lot of stupid shit.
But let's entertain the idea that he's serious and that he will be allowed to start a war on Canada. Do you think Canada can buy enough jets to even matter? Can you even imagine how much that would cost? Is there even enough productive capacity in the world for those jets to be delivered in less than ten years? Come on.
If it comes to a fight against the US the best strategy is guerilla warfare. It's been tried and tested from Vietnam to Iraq!
Yes he does, but strangely enough he's followed through with a lot more of it in his 2.0 incarnation.
As I said previously I'm not even sure we could have any delivered before the conflict began. But that shouldn't negate us at least trying.
Yes, billions of dollars.
Would you also recommend that Ukraine stop spending money it doesn't have to fight Russia? I sure hope not.
Already answered more than once.
Agreed. That is what we will end up in. I'm wondering why you wouldn't want more fighting power tho?
