Dougie93 Posted February 8, 2019 Report Posted February 8, 2019 To wit, I don't find the Leopard 2A4M CAN to be sufficiently protected to conduct operations in an ATGW threat environment, but it's perfectly capable of crushing hippies in the streets. Quote
DogOnPorch Posted February 8, 2019 Report Posted February 8, 2019 We'll see if Venezuela gets to that stage. Seems to be coming undone fast. What's up with the blockaded highways from Colombia? Most odd..... Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.

It's not actually a problem, the oil price is low not high, if the Venezuelan supply gets cut off, America and Canada make out like bandits. Quote
Dougie93 Posted February 8, 2019 Report Posted February 8, 2019 Frankly, if Venezuela got nuked, Alberta would be swimming in money. Quote
DogOnPorch Posted February 8, 2019 Report Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) I'm referring to the physical barriers Colombia erected on the highways coming out of Venezuela...like they're keeping something out or from getting in.

Dougie93 Posted February 8, 2019 Report Posted February 8, 2019 Far as I know, Colombia is not my problem. Far as I know, the worse things get in Venezuela, the better things get for Alberta. Quote
Dougie93 Posted February 8, 2019 Report Posted February 8, 2019 You do realize what is going to happen to the oil price, when Caracas comes back to the oil companies who can pump oil right? Quote

I'm referring to the barriers to Venezuela coming fully online for maximum output again. Here's a big myth; Trans-Mountain shareholders dumped the pipeline on Trudeau because of regulations and the indians. Not the case, Western Canadian Select is simply not profitable at less an $100 a barrel, so Alberta is a dog with flees and everybody is dumping it in favour of West Texas Intermediate. Quote
Dougie93 Posted February 8, 2019 Report Posted February 8, 2019 Not that Gerry Butt's sockpuppet Zoolander operates in the national interest, since Canada actually has no national interest. It's just a game of pandering to virtue signalers of various stripes to keep them from voting for the NDP or Conservatives. Quote
