I'm not that concerned about Eco-Bolsheviks and their One World Government techno-utopian collectivist fantasies, that will collapse on its own under the weight of its own impotence. It's a transitory phase, as reality imposes upon it, the masses will move on to other means.

Corrections are a good thing, just take your profits as you go, convert your dollars to gold as you deem prudent, and prepare to short when the piper has to be paid, sell high, buy low.

Good post. You nailed it. Welcome to the forum. Stick around, we need more members who will speak out against the absurd Orwellian contradictions of these totalitarian "Progressive" Bolshevists.

I already joined you in the First Cold War, cousins, and I for one never stood down because in actual fact neither did the Communists, 15 minutes notice to launch on warning hair trigger alert, has never stood down. You have to understand though, due to its weak and watered down constitution, with no free speech in a practical sense, and no property rights at all, Canada has already fallen to the "Progressive" communists who are in league with China against American freedom as a fifth column inside the perimeter of Fortress North America. So those of us who are with you, are already caught behind enemy lines, a new Iron Curtain between us and our rights endowed by the Creator. The speech banning, gun grabbing, totalitarian enemies of freedom have come to rule here by way of their proxies in academia, the unions and associated state propaganda arms, and we have no First nor Second Amendment to defend ourselves from them. The Chinese are already the masters here, why do you think they are throwing such a hissy fit over Meng Wanzhou? Beijing simply cannot believe that their sycophants in Canada would ever defy them, even though obviously their Canadian proxy is not doing it willingly. Big Daddy Trump, President of Canada, don't stop driving a wedge between Ottawa and their masters in Beijing, that's the only thing protecting us right now. In terms of the wider operational picture in the Western Pacific which will end up coming down to defense of freedom of navigation, now that ABM 72' and INF 87' are defunct, America needs to ramp up the pursuit of a comprehensive counterforce option in the event it becomes necessary to preempt the PLA at the breach. Eagle with thunderbolts in talons grasped; Peace Through Strength.

My enemies are the speech banning, gun grabbing totalitarian enemies of American freedom which is embodied in the Declaration of Independence preamble and associated light of civilization itself. No force in history has done more to advance the human condition than American freedom, to include for the poor and disillusioned, the reason they were poor is disillusioned in the first place being because they were not free, did not have property rights and so could not secure any other right after. I don't pick enemies, they pick themselves when they set out to undermine freedom, usually in the name of some collectivist totalitarian post scarcity utopia. In terms of people consuming resources, that's not a deliberate attack on my freedoms, so that's not a casus belli, and making war on that would be pointless, that's the sort of thing these totalitarian collectivists do, that's not my doctrine. If you go down path of making war on people for non partisan, non ideological reasons, that's how you end with scapegoats, and then you attack innocent people who were just trying to make their way in this world, and probably wanted American freedom too and so were your allies not your enemies. Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice, extremism in the defense of the "environment" is an utopian crusade which leads to Malthusian mass liquidations of innocent people, usually ethnic minorities and Jews. International Socialism and National Socialism are two sides of the same totalitarian post scarcity utopian coin. America is the only free country, they are the only ones who defend freedom, if America falls, all is lost, but we'll take those bastards with us when she goes, they'll never drink a drop from the Mississippi, Launch on Warning, DEFCON One, better dead than Red.

Okay, whatever, you're the expert, I don't really want to talk to you about it, I asked the Bulgarian guy, I already know what you think.

You're preaching to the choir, I was just trying to explain to Zeitgeist why UN Peacekeeping does not stop atrocities and never did, because that was not the mandate. As far as I am concerned, you're a great soldier just for your time in, as Oh Three One Infantry, in the harsh realm which was the CF.

The Bosnia air strikes were a NATO tasking, that wasn't Op Cavalier, that was Operation Deliberate Force, that wasn't a UN mission, CANBAT 2 was not involved in that operation. It's two different missions which you are wrongly conflating into one. Under UN Chapter 6, you can only use (proportionate) force in self defence and only when they are engaging you, there is no air strikes nor anything like that, coming from UN Peacekeepers. You don't even have your bsttalion support weapons, mortars and whatnot, all you have is rifles and machine guns, you're not actually loaded for battle. You can't use camouflage and concealment, that's why the vehicles are painted white and you light your own OP"s up, you're a non combatant and you need to make sure everybody can see that you are UN and so not actually in the fight. Basically you just man the OP's and patrol around the Zone of Separation to monitor what is going on, but if you catch them doing something, all you can do is report it up the chain of command, which is to the UN in New York. It's up to the UN to do something about it, and obviously the UN is f**kin' useless, so the whole thing is pretty much a waste of time if the co-belligerents don't want to play along. And the Serbs and Croats have their proxies at the UN, so they can get the UN to override you anyways. That's what happened at the Medak Pocket. The Croats were out to massacre the Krajina Serbs, the Patricia's tried to block them, so the Croats complained to the UN, and the UN ordered the Patricia's to get out of the way, and then they had to stand by while the Croats went a massacring. After the massacre, the Pats had to go in and document the damage, so not only can you not stop the massacre, you still get a close up look at the aftermath, which, as Army Guy said, that's the kind of thing which gave guys PTSD.

The Organization of American States is apparently launching an investigation, so they have indeed blown this up into an international concern. They don't think things through, they are getting desperate, they will say whatever to pander to their crazy SJW leftist base, the consequences of shooting their mouths off idiotically to idiot college students, they never pause to consider

Oh it's all entertaining, this is a clown show, government by SJW is absurdity piled upon absurdity, because these Progressive are mindless Himbos and Bimbos beyond anything I've ever seen before, it's koo-koo cray-cray, but again, there is no real opposition, and so long as mortgage rates are sub 3%, the Canadian Normies don't care.

I like it when the Government of Canada scores an own goal, but the ICC doesn't charge states with genocide, they would have to charge a specific person or persons in Canada, which would also make me cackle, but I don't know who would be the target of the investigation, who is the person or persons responsible for Trudeau's GENOCIDE? This is why it's such vacuous blather, if you invoke genocide, you have to specify who are the perpetrators, like Adolf Eichmann, or Slobodan Milosevic.

The tasking was simply to report the violations in and around the Zona, that's all Peacekeeping is, the mission is simply to support a ceasefire which the co-belligerents agree to, the mission was never to stop atrocities, Peacekeeping is UN Chapter 6, using force to impose on the co-belligerents is UN Chapter 7, neither Op Harmony nor Op Cavalier were Chapter 7 missions.

Blah, blah, blah, what? Try again, that's just a bunch of incoherent prattle.

It seems like the CBC state propaganda arm has realized that this GENOCIDE thing is backfiring already, so they are going hard with the D-Day Anniversary coverage right now, a convenient opportunity to change the subject and present the Liberal totalitarian regime as pro-military, even tho they hate the military, it serves as a convenient prop from time to time.

One can only hope, but I assume Americans don't pay much attention to Canada.

Most NBA fans are probably Democrats who are just as vacuous as the Liberals are here. I mean, the American left praises Trudeau like he is the second coming.

The Progressives are certainly the Canada bashing terrorist huggers,, if this was America they would be annihilated. Unfortunately there is no real opposition in Canada at this juncture, and the vast majority of Canadians pay no attention.

Just moving on to something more interesting, it's boring going in circles with you, because all you do is evade the point and prattle on.

Whatevs, blah, blah, blah, this conversation is going nowhere, so I'll just move on.

Classically liberal limited government conservatives are well to the left of the House of Bourbon, but still well to the right of Progressives.

I mean, others who would be on the left of the national assembly in 1789 would be the British Empire, the American Confederacy and the National Socialists. The right in France in 1789 was absolute monarchy divine right of Kings, the only people on the right by those terms now are the Arab monarchies in the Persian Gulf.

Yes, I am on the left in the national assembly of France in 1789, but all of Canada is on that left, thus you've rendered the term meaningless. Given that all of us are on the left by the terms of 1789, within that context, who is the left and right in Canada in 2019?

I'm not in power nor its orbit, so you're telling me I am the left?

Okay, whatever, blah, blah, blah, you still haven't told us who the political left are in Canada.

I would submit that this all stems from when "Progressives" in Canada (which according to eyeball are the right) began to bandy about the term "Cultural Genocide" Now they've painted themselves into a corner by removing the caveat "Cultural". It's a classic overreach which has now buried the lead and become the issue rather than the issue which was at hand. It's all to the good tho, because the Dippers are already starting to pose questions in the House asking what Canada is going to do about its "genocide" When these kooks are cutting their own political throats, don't get in their way, feed them rope.
