eyeball Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Like Red China? Not long. My advice to you is that you pay attention to that fellow waving the gun. Ignore @ your peril. So even the US would attack us for not enabling China. Phenomenal. These little Freudian slips are such wonderful little windows into the minds of the warhawks.

DogOnPorch Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 "Gee I wonder why China needs such a large military. Must be to attack Canada" Conservative posters around here. In other news. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/india-tests-nuclear-capable-missile-that-can-reach-china/article2407238/ Scenario: It is the year 2031 and China has just set-up a 'research station' on top of a huge natural gas deposit in Canada's former high arctic. Comrade PM Punked today wished his new overlords "good luck" with their research and hopes one day to be allowed to purchase some of the resulting natural gas if China portions out any surpluses.

punked Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Yah yah yah we heard it all with the Russians. They are more armed then we think, they are communists so our numbers don't reflect theirs blah blah blah. Fact was when the dust cleared people that kept saying "our numbers are off they have a more advanced military then we think" were right about one thing. Our numbers were off they had less then our intelligence estimated and people like you were WAAAYYYY OFF. Fool me one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can make stuff up to. Scenario: China sees Canada as a peaceful nation and rewards with Trillions of dollars for no reason. See when we play make believe we can do whatever we want.

Wild Bill Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 my comment wasn't intended to disparage - most certainly not. I don't agree with the how/where/why of everywhere you've been deployed, but... you need to be paid well, extremely well, when you are there. But, for me, that's also tied into an entirely different discussion in terms of the bigger picture prioritization of spending versus roles for Canada. Waldo, you've just proven what I thought I was the only one on this board who knew - you DO have a heart! You are a man unfairly maligned...

NORAD is ransom in your view? Interesting. But then, folks like you think that the USA should pick-up the entire tab for Canada's defence like they owe us for something...for being Canadians, I guess.

The Chinese know this very well from their own experience during the concession days. All the 19th century colonial military intervention in China was a result of Western countries protecting and advancing their commercial interests. They had no interest in actually conquering and occupying the place. Rightly or wrongly, Americans have often been criticized for this. Why would you expect China to be different?
