    He’s not kidding. The whole “no rules of engagement” speech by Hegseth, Canada should be preparing a drone army by now, Ukraine style.

      Why does he think ALL of Canada should be a single state, anyway?

        Just because its been written doesn’t mean its remotely true. “Evil China is interested in the Arctic” does not mean China has entered Canadian waters. They don’t need to to go to Europe. Nothing ever said about Russia has any motive of truth behind it. The drones BS over Denmark is obvious false flag. The ones that went to Poland came from Ukrainian airspace. The propaganda level is absurdly high, and your mind distorts it even stronger. Reading more cannot cure disinformation if you trust the sources.

        But, again, in your mind whether rational or warped, you need to use Canadian forces to amplify US ambitions in ww3, don’t you? There is nothing that makes you understand the US side is the threat?

              My guess is he thinks naming it just a single state conveys the message that Canada is inferior. It’s whatever enough to just clump all together.

                    The precept behind this is that Canada needs the Golden dome to defend itself from Russia or China. What’s lost is that NORAD defends the US from Russia. We should be paid to protect the US from Russia.

                    If we choose to not demonically hate Russia and China, as a carbon copy of US dictated demonic policy, then there is zero need to defend ourselves from what what we do not threaten. A nuclear attack on Canada involves us crossing a dementia line, where even if we’re not the active threat to human countries, exterminating Canadians is viewed as a net global positive. Europe is far ahead of our dementia, and a legitimate threat to humanity in its demonic fascist evil, we would STFU quickly when US bases in Europe are nuked. We already do not need NORAD for defense of Canada. Our section of golden dome would only be to protect the US, and so if they want to build it, they MUST pay us to build it. They also need to start paying us for NORAD. Chinese missiles will not go through Artic to hit US, and again, the best defense is to stop being stupid vs humanity, and being part of same alliances as US.

                      The Canadian government really should be funding courses on combat first aid, self-sufficiency, and other non-combat insurgency courses.

                                      Just make sure you get a few on the way out.

                                        Typical rapist, won’t take NO for an answer.

                                          North Korea and Russia have a military alliance as North Korean soldiers were fighting in Ukraine with Russia under Russian control.

                                          I agree that it is a press statement being BFFs, but China has been supporting Russia’s war efforts with Russia saying they would also support Chinese war efforts. It is definitely a weird alliance, and they most certainly do not trust each other, but they are clearly working together to be a counter to “Western” influence and are likely going to increase military, intelligence, and trade ties.

                                          I hope that it stops at proxy wars, espionage, and tradefare. I just do not see it as likely given the climate.

                                          It’s true that the three have become kind of aligned, I’ll give you that. But, “alliance” implies something like NATO where an attack on one is an attack on all.

                                          What you’ve mentioned are cases of Russia buying things. The NK troops were sent in exchange for technology and goods. China won’t even sell devoted military hardware, only dual-use civilian technology.
