He's probably acting on the knowledge we're already 3/4's belly up ourselves for the same reason....not the mention the treasure we've wasted picking new fights in the world.

And exactly what we're doing now. While every western nation has been hacking and slashing at its military, including the US, Russia and China have been giving generous, double digit budget increases to their military forces for most of the last decade.

They have not been slashing, I would say re-allocating. Conventional army has been reduced. Automation, robots, drones and cyberwarefare are part of the new revamped military and have been drastically increased over the past decade or two.

That's fine if you're hunting terrorists or other small groups, not so useful if you have to confront a major nation state.

And if you read the article, they are cutting tens of billions from the budget.

The US doesn't confront major nation states, Argus. It picks on poor countries that it can easily rape and pillage.

That's why Canada tags along....to beat up on Haiti, Somalia, and Libya.

Yes, that is extremely sad, isn't it, George? Why anyone would want to tag along with war criminals and the world's leading terrorist group completely escapes me.

Not sad at all, Jesus. Canada has the self appointed responsibility to attack people in order to protect their human rights...and open up some more mines !

Are you suggesting that Canada has usurped America's schtick? At least one example would be in order.

and open up some more mines !

Yes, much of that is sad, too. Canada sits at the knee of the master pillager. They've got to have picked up the odd thing or two.

Why are you ignoring the elephant standing on your foot, George?

Not when it comes to mining, Jesus. Canada digs holes to rape and pillage around the world....better than anyone else.

I think the world knows better than to trust bush_cheney2004.

Isn't it uncomfortable what with that elephant defecating all over you, George?

Je suis, Canada is still trying to ram a dirty bitumen pipeline down America's throat. Stubborn elephant...

Defecating is part of life, Jesus.

Such patent dishonesty. Why not lay the blame at the feet of US pipeline companies, US gulf refineries, those US companies that have their fat finger in the ATS?

ramming it down your throats. More of that patent dishonesty.

If Canada were the USA it would simply have invaded, killing millions, spreading depleted uranium around to get the next generation, and then used US as slaves to build the pipeline. All the while trumpeting loudly that it was doing so to save the poor, ignorant masses from a vicious government.

You don't have much of an attention span, George/Dick. Why do you keep running off on tangents. You know that it is largely the USA that is and has been causing all these problems around the world since WWII. You know that the USA is the real terrorist in action. You just keep ignoring the elephant.

Is that not dishonesty of the highest order?

Dream on, Jesus.

The USA has been romping and stomping around the planet long before WW2, when it finally dethroned your empire's sorry ass.

Tell me something I don't know, George. But stop with the euphemisms. Not 'romping and stomping', plundering and murdering.

Now let's all sing and dance and celebrate your proud amorality! In the typical American braggart fashion.

You are seriously gonna cheer on one troll against another?

It seems clear to me that 'omar' is someone's sock puppet which they intend to use to issue more insults than they dare on their regular account up to the point 'omar' gets banned.

More typical braggadocio. Volumes of crap with no concern as to quality.

So please tell us, George, why do you avidly support USA terrorism and war crimes? Have you no concern for what it is doing to America's reputation?
