We Canadians bury our war dead in place. There are many Commonwealth War graves around the world. New Zealanders.

Americans tend to bring their war dead to a central place.

I have been to both. Wandered around. And I have always asked myself: What was this guy doing? Why did he do it?  

Almost everyone brings their dead home these days because remains don't have to spend weeks or months being transported and the sheer volume is nowhere near what it was in the world wars. Our Afghan dead were all brought home. The US maintains 17 permanent cemeteries from the world wars in foreign countries.

OK. You think that you own Hawaii.

The Japanese attack - a Day in Infamy - and you Americans respond against Japan.

But why also against Germany?

In America and Russia, the war started in 1941. In Canada, the war started  in 1939.

 Later, walking around cemeteries, cities, talking to people - women in particular.

I realised that this war did not start in 1939 0r 1941.

It started in summer 1914. And it lasted to 1945. These thirty years changed the lives of many people. Around the world.

 

Please.  If we're going to go down that road it started about 3000 years ago.  Europe and asia have had back to back to back wars and armed conflicts big and small pretty much continually for that time.  It's been going on since the first person figured out if they wack  the other person over the head with a rock they could take what they had.

There was a great line, can't remember where from:  "Peace is a theoretical condition whose existence we postulate because there's occasionally gaps between wars"

Because Hitler declared war on the US first and saved Roosevelt the trouble.

Boo!

I here Austria,  Czech,  Germany and Hungary refuse to send Ukrainian refugees of military age, back to Ukraine. 

Oh well...

Did you “here” about your beloved Putin’s love-in with North Korean dictator and ally Kim Jon Un on Russian soil meant to deepen their alliance?  I can’t believe you think those are the good guys. 

[Canadian_Cavalier]

Best of luck to Ukraine. Being on the side of freedom and democracy is preferable to being on the side of Kim Jong Un.

Who says I think they're good guys. Frankly I think they're all bad guys...including Biden.

You say it with every Kremlin lie you brainlessly repeat on this forum.
 

You have made it abundantly clear that you believe everything the Kremlin says is true and that everything the western/NATO countries or Ukraine say is a lie.

You’ve said that you hope Russia wins.

You’ve said that Ukraine is responsible for Russian atrocities because they have the audacity to no not unilaterally surrender and concede to Russia’s demands for territory.

This is the first time you’ve even acknowledged Russia’s alliance with China North Korea Syria and Iran despite it being mentioned countless times in this forum because it’s an inconvenient truth that you wish would go away and your propaganda sources don’t have any talking points for you to memorize and regurgitate on the subject

 

You are a Russian dupe plain and simple.

Ur a bloody m0ron Beave.

A bloodthirsty death-cultist m0ron.

Your warped reality fools nobody but your cult buddies. And I doubt it honestly really fools most of them.

Your "morality" is warped beyond recognition and your actions only impose suffering on everyone.

In short...you Libbie cultists are an abject failure.

Hilarious!  So you actually think the vast majority of westerners share your pro-Russian views and only a small “cult” of us support Ukrainian resistance?  You can’t possibly believe that.

This is another hilarious feature of the MAGA dumbass cult:  sometimes you claim that the whole society has been fooled and you’re part of a select few who know the real truth, you know the old “in an insane world it is the sane who are called crazy” schtick that you hear from every homeless street preacher.   Then other times you folk play the exact opposite, pretending the whole world’s shares your views and anyone who disagrees is part of some fringe cult.

 

That FLIP FLOP is exactly what you’ve done here, at first claiming that the everyone west has been fooled by some worldwide conspiracy that includes all the western governments and the MSM in some sinister plot. Now you’re claiming everyone sees the world the way you do and only a small “cult” denies reality 

 

As Ive said many times before you MAGAS will say anything, words have no meaning for people like you and you just barf words all over the screen with little thought to their meaning or what you’ve said previously. It’s all just stream-of-consciousness verbal diarrhea from simple-minded highly emotional people, who are easily brainwashed by the like of Putin and anonymous internet trolls.

And this is why you fail with such regularity. You possess the logic and reasoning of a kindergarten kid. To you, if a person does not want war with Russia, that person must, by default, be FOR Russia and AGAINST NATO and the USofA. 

Ukraine never stood a snowball's chance in Hell of maintaining the separatist regions in the east, or of beating back the Russian military. Does that mean I want Russia to restore its European empire? No. It means I see the reality of the situation and acknowledge it.

1. Ukraine is not a NATO nation. To send Ukraine enough arms to lose slower and to force them to fight on in vain is disgusting. 

2. To attack the primary source of global energy without a reliable and cost effective replacement is stupid.

3. To open you border to anyone is stupid.

4. To tuck your tail between your legs and surrender Afghanistan to a bunch of Terrorist is stupid and disgusting. 

THIS...my fine death-cultist...is your legacy. Your gift to the world.

Your abject failure exposed.

When is Russia going to win it's two week war?

When Ukraine runs out of soldiers, which should be right about...

Now.

After which, western interests will take over what's left of Ukraine. I'd give that about a decade before the Ukrainians realize...

They've been had.

[OftenWrong]

So I see that Zelensky is on another of his world tours, is back in Canada to give another speech to patliament. No doubt he needs billions more $$, now that some countries (like Poland) have started to pull back on their funding. Could it be the gravy trains coming to an end? Well it was a helluva good run.

But surely our globalist spitzbub PM will manage to pony up a few more billion.

They got a surplus with the tax windfall, price increases and interest rates. That's right, chumps. The war is being carried on your back.

Next up, conscription. Send in the kids.

[Aristides]

Poland's beef with Ukraine is more about grain, not arms.

Poland hasn't really pulled back, they have already given Ukraine most of their Soviet vintage arms and are re-equipping with more modern "western" stuff. They just signed a $14 billion deal with South Korea for rockets, tanks, artillery and aircraft. They are still a transit and repair hub for weapons supplied by other countries.

Conscription will never happen in Canada although compulsory military service would be a good thing. Scandinavian countries think so and when in 2013 Switzerland had a referendum on conscription, 73% voted to keep it.

Never mind the bollocks.

Canada manages to pony up another $650 M for the war in Ukraine. This on top of the just recently announced $500M, if my memory is correct. Wasn't that just a few months ago?

Gee, that's a lotta indian money you could have gave away there, or help the rising number of poor children in Canada.

It's yer tax dollars in action, suck on that next time you go to the grocery store or make any purchase. That 10% inflation goes right into Trudeau's pocket.

"The multi-year commitment includes $650 million over three years for 50 armoured vehicles that are to be built in London, Ont. Friday's announcement brings Canada's total committed support to Ukraine to more than $9.5 billion since the beginning of 2022, according to a news release."
