Even this Meng Wanzhou business, I don't think CIA is significantly involved, the Hauwei War is SIGINT, so that's NSA and the military. In fact, NSA to JSOC and/or NSA to the FBI, pretty much renders the CIA irrelevant. Not to mention that JSOC has the ISA and CRT, which is basically their own SIGINT and NOC's, so the Pentagon is vertically integrated one stop shopping, no need for civilian spies at all.

I don't hold compartmentalized security clearance and never have, but OSINT would suggest that the CIA NCS probably doesn't waste much time on Canaderp. If there was a political crisis and Canada was destabilizing into civil disorder that would attract more attention, but the CIA has a finite budget so they can't be wasting that much time on covert action in a frozen wasteland where not much of geopolitical significance happens. Moreover, the Canadian security services already report up the chain of command to FVEY, and due to the nature of the Liberal Party of Canada dictatorship, probably see Washington as being the boss more than Ottawa is, and so probably just tell the Americans what they need to know, under authority of FVEY Which basically leaves DHS and FBI NSAC, and they would be focused on non state actors in Canada, terrorists, extremists, agitators what have you.

Even if I was moved by the plight of a fake country, I still wouldn't negotiate with terrorists, do your worst China, I won't flinch.

A post national state has no citizens, so not my problem. House of Windsor rolls on without them.

Kovrig and Spavor, a couple of UN Globalists! Go cry to the UN, maybe they'll send some Peacekeepers!

It's not punishing me. Go right ahead, China, give them what for. Bloody Canadians. Serves them right for getting into bed with communists.

All to the good, if ever a government needed to be put in its place, it's the Trudeaupians Big Daddy Trump, President of Canada. Woot-woot.

According to CNBC the Americans are going to go forward with the formal extradition request, which means talking to Trump didn't do much good, because the Americans withdrawing that request was pretty much the only way out for Canader.

Using the British as a measuring stick? British Empire; Treaty of Paris 1763 to withdraw from East of Suez 1968; 205 years. Empire of Liberty from 1919? You've only got another hundred years or so, better get your affairs in order. lol

Nylander for under 7 is acceptable, he's simply wrecked his regular season by sitting out, but I would have sat out too, so can't blame him, so long as he signed for less than 7, all is forgiven, at this point he's still in the process of jumping on a moving train which usually goes like this. The Habs were unlikely to have two terrible starts in a row, they're still broken and unfixable as the Leafs were until Shanahan took over, Habs need to follow the Shanaplan. Leafs won't make any trade unless the exact guy they are looking for is available. Would be Parayko over Peitrangelo if STL was the route.

No, Ontario runs everything, by way of Toronto. Ontario is simply the Guardians of Confederation. Confederation is simply a failed state. In order to reanimate it as a zombie, Ontario is bribing Quebec with Alberta's money. Nova Scotia and Winnipeg are irrelevant. Welcome to the Liberal Party of Canada and associated CBC propaganda arm Asymmetrical Dictatorship.

The Flight to Quality is not towards the White House at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, the Flight to Quality is towards the Constitution and associated Declaration of Independence preamble, which are housed in the Rotunda of the National Archives at 701 Constitution Ave NW, DC 20408 That in fact being, the exact mailing address of the Empire of Liberty and source of all of America's wealth and power.

The Treaty of Paris is simply the only legal claim on these lands. So when you say "our own" constitution, that is only by "royal we", as the claim is entirely within the personage of Elizabeth Windsor by way of her hereditary claim as the heir to Victoria Hanover. You can't begin any analysis of Canadian constitutional law until you understand what it is constructed upon. If the Treaty of Paris is null and Elizabeth Windsor not sovereign, then "Canada" has no legal claim to British North America. Not starting here is how the Eskimo Communists down at the CBC and the Toronto Star have come to rule as illegitimate self appointed royals. If you don't know the story of your people, by the central narrative underpinning your nation, that's how the commies takeover.

Not the sequence of events. Canadian constitutional law is founded by the Treaty of Paris 1763, wherein the House of Bourbon ceded Nouvelle France to the House of Hanover.

There is no reason to concern yourself about a Canadian currency devaluation crisis, can be sidestepped quite deftly by taking your profits in US dollars at Manhattan and converting dollars to gold as necessary.

All to the good, the more the people realize that Confederation is a illegitimate boot heel upon their necks, the less totalitarian about it they will be, eventually bringing this soviet down by its own weight in the face of market forces. Otherwise known as It Needs To Get Worse Before It Can Get Better.

Taxme has reacted "sad" to this, but there is nothing to be sad about, the conservatism in play here, is in defence of the first and second amendments uber alles, Donald Trump is simply an instrument of policy, chosen by the Red State conservatives, because as a liberal, Donald Trump could bridge the gap with the Blue Wall Democrats and together the Red States and the Blue Wall could box the commies out, to preserve the light of civilization and associated Declaration of Independence preamble, particularly as pertains to states rights.

Totalitarian is simply to not distinguish between yourselves and your state, in the Canadian fashion, any criticism of Confederation itself, whether foreign or democratic in origin, is interpreted as an attack on the person by Canadians. Has nothing to do with loose or tight federation, Communism is entirely operable within a loose federation of interests (Climate Change!) and so is Fascism ( UN Globalists! ) Canada itself provides you with no protections against abuse, Elizabeth Windsor is the only Majesty who defends the right.

There is only one box, and that is the Permanent War which the Americans articulate in light of government by war measure, Article II Executive Order. Said thermonuclear war is always in progress, it is simply what is called a Frozen Conflict, while it currently remains at 15 minutes notice to launch on warning. By any military measure, 15 minutes notice to move is not peacetime.

Very well, I will endeavor to comply by manual means, I'll respond to posts, and then limit to one post of my own, and then wait out for another response.

The Canadian soviet checks the boxes of totalitarian ( Canadians are indoctrinated to not distinguish between themselves and the state ), collectivist ( Canadians are indoctrinated to be internationalist socialists ) there is simply two factors constraining the authoritarian impulse ( Government by RCMP Jackboot) and that is; a) Canada is not actually sovereign, Elizabeth Windsor is. b) America wont let them, by both market force, but ultimately by intervention as well, as FVEY is doing right now to put itself between the PRC and Elizabeth Windsor.

The Chavezistas are international socialists, fascists are national socialists. Same government by conspiracy theory, same collectivist authoritarian proclivities, same totalitarian submission of the individual unto the state, but two quite different objective end states and associated pursuit of post scarcity utopias, otherwise known as two sides of the same coin. The same coinage of totalitarian collectivist authoritarianism, on one side the Ying of a one world government socialist revolution, on the other the Yang of a hyper nationalist counterrevolution against. It's like matter and anti-matter, which is why things explode when the two come head to head.

You do not nationalize what is already yours, nationalization is when your state confiscates property which does not belong to you, moreover, the Norwegian national petroleum concern Equinor is publicly traded, you can own it if you wish, Norway simply retains a 67% controlling share.

You just seem to have a very limited view of usage. Weapons are employed exponentially beyond mere expenditure downrange. For example, a cavalry screen is weapons employment, but not simply limited to joint fires expended, the usage is to screen to allow maneuver, even if that is nary a shot fired, which is actually optimal, that is still employment and therefore usage of a cavalry weapon system.

Sorry, I am looking for this "check mark" you have indicated will auto collate posts, you said it was at the upper right hand corner of each post, but I'm not seeing that. Could you explain how this feature is accessed in more detail?
