Dougie93 Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share 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.

DogOnPorch Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Dougie93 Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Frankly, if Venezuela got nuked, Alberta would be swimming in money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogOnPorch Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie93 Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Dougie93 Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The powerless are empowered by the Declaration of Independence, conservatives of course view the French Revolution as abominable Communism, but in the end, so did the French Left, because even for them it became the Terror.

Probably because of the way the commies exercised their power, which of course was very conservatively. You see the same thing in ISIS.

What I meant is that powerful people in ISIS use their power very conservatively - with the same sense of tradition conservatives usually have. I suspect there's an unhealthy overabundance of that olde fashioned natural law hooey running thru all conservatives heads everywhere.

You derailed the thread with your self righteous purity spiraling specious condemnation of Canadian soldiers for crimes they did not commit in Afghanistan.

Actually it was a condemnation of the crimes our alliance committed. You derailed things trying to deny it. You're in very good company around here.
