Such weak leadership. I'm jealous of Asia. They get things done. Building Ghost Cities is getting things done, it's digging a ditch and filling it back in, calling it GDP and acting like it's real economic growth instead of an obvious bubble. Such strong leadership. Edited January 10, 2020 by Yzermandius19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US is a central NATO member. The assassination has put all NATO soldiers stationed in Iraq at risk, including Americans. How much consultation took place with NATO forces? It seems a bit rogue and reckless. I hope I’m wrong. Canada has to stop being America's B@tch and pull all our troops out of middle east. We might be more respected around the world, if we do so. Even Europe doesn't like us now. It's really pathetic. Trudeau want's to move them to Kuwait. I say, we GTFO. If American's wanna commit suicide, let them go for it.

Yzermandius19 Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Centrally Planned Boondoggles are of course the opposite of strong leadership, not to mention a waste of resources. China is an industrial economy built on a house of cards, that is not the future, that's the past. Talk of China being a ten foot tall giant is obvious nonsense.

Why are there only 500 Canadians deployed ? Why is there such a dependence on American policy compared to all of NATO and the West ? Why is the "world" in such a position where Donald Trump can command so much importance and relevance compared to all other nations ? Why ? Because they have assumed that role, perhaps arrogated that role to themselves, but it was a choice to act unilaterally. Often unilateral action is a mistake. Again, I don’t know how much consultation with NATO allies took place. I hope it did, but what I’ve seen doesn’t create confidence. Was the Canadian commander of NATO actually in command or was he undermined? Edited January 10, 2020 by Zeitgeist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of being jealous of their success, maybe we could ask for their leadership. There is a lot of Chinese in the GTA... Then seem to be smarter than we are... Maybe we could use them to partner with China. Edited January 10, 2020 by ProudConservative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their success is a mirage, industrial economies are not the way of the future, no matter how much you love infrastructure boondoggles doesn't change that fact. China is not taking over, you simply have America Derangement Syndrome. Edited January 10, 2020 by Yzermandius19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as Canada and other nations remain so dependent on American economic and military power, they will also be subjected to unilateral decisions. It is not enough just to wish this was not the case. The U.S. military has a lot more to worry about than just NATO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the world boycotted Israel, their policies would change really fast, and we wouldn't be wasting trillions in the middle east. If Iran saw us stand up to Israel, they would be easier to negotiate with, and the terrorist would stop trying to do 9/11.

Why you would boycott them and appease Iran is flat out stupid, and quite frankly, antisemitic. Appease the Muslims and Boycott the Jews, genius strategy.

Who made the Jews the king of the world? I would give them an ultimatum... If they want peace... they have to meet in Iran and sign a decoration for a two state solution. If they disagree... We put an embargo in the Mediterranean sea... give them a no fly zone... and see how long they keep occupying Palestine. Russia and China wouldn't get in the way.
