> You seem to have a few of your own: "Canada only has to patrol its northern border"

the Canadians do not aggressively patrol the southern border because that is where all of the people are -- unlike the north -- and because the reality is that the entire Canadian military is basically a speedbump for if/when the US invaded in earnest.


Americans: X country is only a speed bump for our awesome military. Also Americans: Have never managed to win a single war on their own while usually fighting underdeveloped tribes whose most advanced equipment is sandals, while at the same time both allies and enemies have a billion jokes on how bad they actually are.

You need a special kind of personality to be this confident while currently losing a war, one that is, well, associated with Americans.


Danielle Smith is plainly a US agit-prop effort. Probably in concert with the Russians, since funding separatists is their MO

> We invaded Korea

what a terrible bad faith arguemnt

N Korea invaded the south and the UN voted to create a joint force in there to defend it.


Not only is this true, there are about 50 million people in the south who are incredibly grateful for US involvement. And about 26 million people in the north who are, on average, several inches shorter than the southerners due to the end of US involvement.

The people in the north aren't worked to death tho

We forcibly inserted our forces onto a peninsula to support a state that exterminated hundreds of thousands of people that nominally opposed it. If you want to call this something other than invasion that's your choice. We can all judge what character your faith takes

> We also take issue with them cozying up to the ChiComms.

does everything possible to spite the Canadian economy. then has the gall to be surprised that Canada would cozy up to people who don't shit on them

who would have guessed?


> Because Trump is a new, and (hopefully!) a one time phenomenon.

unless the US extinguishes all of its billionaires and somehow convinces 1/3 to 1/2 of their population to not vote against their own interests it'll happen again


> good enough model at lowest cost wins

that has been the model of software since, like, ever


and by internal voting blocks we mean large US automakers and their dealership cartel

most americans can't define woke

> I don’t think the economy was hamstrung in the least

post WW2 the world basically outside of the US blew up and the US pumped a ton of money into europe+asia to bolster it.

it's easy to be #1 when everything else burnt down


massed horse archers wrecked pretty much everyone constantly until the 1600s

Fighter Jets with missiles are the modern version of the same concept.
