Yes, a lot of your hardware is top notch stuff. Other nations also have top notch military hardware too. Right now you also have a new top notch secretary of defense so congratulations on that.

What is preventing the EU from filling the void if the US does wind down support for Ukraine? Is it such a terrible thing if Trump does act to try and end the war even if Russia and Ukraine do not achieve their objectives?

That assertion is debatable. Scroll to 6:00 in this link where it shows a majority of Brits actually agree with Trump's immigration policies(they were not identified as such before the poll question was asked). Keir Starmer is of course far-left so it's no surprise he would oppose any or all of Trump's policies. There is also a chart showing levels of immigrant crime in the UK per nationality. (1:16)

I'm not sure if we have any standards about who we let in. The number of anti-Semitic incidents in this country has risen rather sharply in recent years. Now it's common to read about people shooting at Jewish schools and synagogues. It's a pretty safe bet that the people doing this sort of thing are most likely from the middle east. It explains why we now have protests on Canadian streets shouting 'death to Canada, death to America, death to Israel'. https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/chants-of-death-to-canada-cannot-be-accepted-at-rallies Immigration policy in most of the West has just been unbelievably awful for years now.

Doesn't Britain have it's own serious issues with mass immigration and crime now? Surely you must have heard about the grooming gangs primarily made of of men from a certain country? And Keir Starmer appears to have played a major role in the government coverup of this story. More Western nations should perhaps be looking at how Hungary and Poland have dealt with this problem, and why they have significantly lower crime rates.

I think it would be a good thing if we did a lot more to secure our border with the US. It's been said that more people on the terrorist watch list entered the US via Canada than via the US/Mexico border. Canada also has it's own issues with illegal immigration. As does just about every Western nation. It's a big problem in the EU with the exception of Poland and Hungary, who refuse to cave in to the foolish immigration policy coming out of Brussels.

All indications are that at this time, the US is going after the illegals that have committed crimes on American soil. Now it is a valid question about documentation as it seems most of those millions and millions that entered the US since 2020 likely destroyed their own documents before coming in or they used fake documents. If they can't prove where they originated from or they lie about it, what is the US supposed to do other than send them back to Mexico, which allowed most of them to pass through in the first place?

You're saying it's unfair for the US to send undocumented(I'm sure all of those aboard the planes were documented btw) people to another country? And most certainly, most if not all of those Columbians have committed crimes in the US. But you were perfectly fine with all the countries that have been doing it to the US since 2020?

In a nutshell, are you saying the more the better?

In Canada, our GDP has gone up. But when it's measured per capita, it is in fact lower.

By your own logic, would Americans be progressively better off if the rate of illegal immigration keeps going up? And not all of these 'newcomers' want to work. Since 2020, how many of these couples have had a baby, left it with relatives...and then returned to wherever they came from?

Because of. That correct and it's how I should have phrased it.

No 'free stuff'? So who is paying for them to stay in the migrant hotels? Who pays for their food? Clothing? https://nypost.com/2024/10/09/us-news/nyc-seeking-14000-hotel-rooms-to-shelter-migrants-through-2025/ You're making it sound like all of them are working and not in need of benefits. No doubt many of them are working, and helping to keep wages for Americans low.

How about they stop encouraging abortions? Why not increase incentives for couples to have larger families? In Canada, our GDP per capita has fallen, even with one of the highest immigration(per capita) rates in the world.

So a pair of illegal immigrants have a baby on US soil and that child is now a US citizen. Now what happens to the parents? Do they return to their country of origin...or are they going to stay and also be expecting citizenship and free stuff from Americans?

Soooo...that meme offended you then.😉

And of course, countries with the policy of birthright citizenship must also be obligated to now bring in both parents right?

There are pros and cons. https://connectusfund.org/14-european-union-pros-and-cons International cooperation can be a good thing of course, but when it comes to entities like the EU or the WEF, it seems that it comes with the loss of full sovereignty. I read about Poland and Hungary having issues with the EU with regards to mass immigration. Currently those countries are not going along with the EU policy of mass immigration. And those countries are not experiencing the same problems with Islamic terrorism and immigrant crime waves.

Seems like they have a lot of control over immigration for one thing. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68779387 Under the proposed rules, the EU's 27 countries will be required to either take in thousands of migrants from "frontline" countries, such as Italy, Greece and Spain, or provide extra funding or resources instead.

The EU has worked so well. No issues whatsoever and all member states are thrilled to be under the control of Brussels.😒

Carney has now been endorsed by Steven Guilbeault who had previously said he would quit if the carbon tax was dialed back in even the slightest way. So he clearly got some kind of assurance from Carney that the Liberal carbon tax is here to stay. The name may change and the scope it covers may even be expanded, but it is not going away under Mark Carney.

They have said no pardons for those that engaged in violence. And since when does the left stand up for law enforcement?

This is a very interesting documentary on Fauci.
