much as I love Dutch Reagan it wasn't him who won the war it was Richard Nixon who divided and conquered between the Soviets & Chinese so the war was won long before Ronald Reagan took office Ronald Reagan's great contribution; was rather allowing Paul Volcker to raise interest rates to 18-22% in order to constrain the runaway inflation but certainly the original MAGA counterrevolution was something for the Western world to fight for Peace Through Strength

actually the Wars of British Hegemonic Succession wherein the British Empire was forced to cede the global Hegemony to the American Empire of Liberty the revanchist Germans, both Kaiser Bill & Herr Wolf, were simply the catalyst which initiated the succession

Pipe Major, sound the lament

Regiment, Colours, Commander-in-Chief from the Heights of Queenston to Hill One Four Five at Pas de Calais Canada Bereft broods over the fallen Cuidich 'n Righ

I would suggest that it is rather back to the 17th Century 23 May 1618

HM Royal Canadian Infantry Corps was always an elite formation Shock Troops of the Empire to win the Great War from Amiens to Mons that was Canada's only edge ; best infantry in the world you can give that up for political expediency, no doubt but then Canada has lost the only edge it ever had

once you reach the pinnacle at Joint Task Force 2 ; everything is CQB MMA is a huge component of being a Special Operations Assaulter it's the ultimate infantry tasking see, Randy Turner, JTF2 Operator ( ret. ) of Direct Action Combat Performance Inc https://www.youtube.com/@direct_action_combat/videos

American Captain Robert Gray named the river after his ship the "Columbia", in 1792 "British Columbia" was to distinguish between the American Columbia and the British Columbia the Pacific Northwest Coast Indians all called it "The Big River" so they weren't particularly imaginary after all

simply assert the glorious martial history of British North America to fight for Wolfe & Montcalm upon the Plains of Abraham to fight for General Brock & the Grand River Mohawks at the Heights of Queenston to fight for Lord Byng & General Currie at Hill One Four Five upon Vimy Ridge from Amiens to Mons from Ortona to Juno Beach from Kapyong Hill to Kandahar Province Regiment, Colours, Commander-in-Chief Cuidich 'n Righ

actually CFRC is a good go you're getting paid DND money to work in an office you are trying to sell young people on joining the military which you love it beats digging trenches in the rain

any Canadian government which picks a serious fight with the Americans, will get thrown out of office the Americans can inflict exponential economic pain upon Canadians with a flick of their wrists Canadians would surrender on day one, rather than suffer the consequences of American economic warfare

but the Russian equipment is mostly junk it's easily destroyed in huge quantities by cheap 3D printed drones the drone is already the arm of decision, practically rendereding industrial warfare obsolete

again, America does not need to invade Canada to impose its will upon Canada the Canadian economy is totally reliant upon access to the American markets thus all Trump needs to do to force Canada to capitulate, is impose tariffs at the border

they're still not powerful enough to overmatch Ukraine, so long as Ukraine is willing to fight the only way the Russians win, is if Ukraine capitulates tho there could be a point where Ukraine can't hold in the east, so the Ukrainians withdrawal across the Dneiper then we are really into Cold War Two on a trace at the Inter Ukrainian Border Russian forces in East Ukraine, NATO forces in West Ukraine

that is the nature of being Canada you can't fight America America could simply impose a naval blockade on Canada, and Canada would immediately collapse so you are stuck with the Americans as your patrons, no matter what

the Russians are not the Soviets they don't have what the Soviets had Europe is not what it used to be neither in terms of the military industrial base so neither side has enough to achieve an overmatch the only way to break this stalemate would be with American air power only the Americans could win this war, by air land battle

this is always where the girls ended up falling to the side of the road and quitting they just couldn't keep up with the men while carrying rucksacks women can perform many military tasks, particularly service support trades but they just aren't built for the infantry

same problem for both sides, so again, it's a stalemate

Canada already possesses a nuclear deterrent by way of NORAD & NATO the American Triad already defends the entire continent Canada has access to NATO B61 tactical nuclear bombs in Europe through the NATO nuclear sharing agreement

who is going to attack Canada with military forces and from where ? it's 9 million square kilometres of territory, with an ocean on three sides, plus General Winter even the US military is not capable of invading and occupying Canada so there is really no conventional military threat to Canada at all

the problem for both sides in Ukraine is called "the transparent battlefield" both sides can see deep into each others rear areas so nobody can achieve any sort of surprise if they mass their forces to attack, the other side has plenty of time to reinforce their defences so it's right back to World War One, where nobody can achieve a breakthrough of the lines

HM Royal Canadian Infantry Corps prepares to execute the full spectrum of close quarters combat to include hand to hand fighting that is the standard at the Royal Canadian Regiment Battleschool infanteers must demonstrate that they can enter a trench & defeat the enemy soldier by any means necessary if MWO Army Guy disagrees, then he is mistaken

anyone could meet the elite standard of HM Royal Canadian Infantry Corps ? with respect, MWO, I must disagree at the RCR Battleschool, many fell to the side of the road and failed to meet the standard only those who refused to quit, whom put one foot in front of the other, for the brothers to the left & right of them, come what may; met the standard training ground of the warriors, at Camp Petawawa, Renfrew Garrison, Ontario Airborne

HM Royal Canadian Infantry Corps is charged with executing the full spectrum of close combat tasks up to and including killing the enemy soldier with your bare hands as necessary never pass a fault

none the less, every infantryman must be required to ultimately close to bayonet range in extremis to include fixed bayonet fighting unfixed bayonet fighting and unarmed combat that is the standard Ducimus
