No all it produces is more dictators. Like I said it's as phony as a three dollar bill. They thought of sacrificing any GDP makes you curl up in the fetal position.

Our grandparents sacrificed some 40% of their GDP to fight tyranny, I guess it wasn't enough. Our grandparents sacrificed to safeguard themselves. I mean, not to demean them in any way but they don't fight the Germans just because it was the moral thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That our stated principles are our only real safeguard is made more obvious as the shitty world we inherited just keeps getting shittier.

Your desperate attempt to equate mature ideas of leadership, with "dictators", is the panicked act of a person trying to justify endless failure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbird Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 The CCP has infiltrated all levels of Canadian society and government. It is not just one area as the occasional media report seems to imply. Read the book "Claws of the Panda" by Jonathan Manthorpe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that China simply sets up lobbying and policing here, sends bio war researchers to steal secrets that threaten national security, and generally buys up and uses our resources and tech to advance its own interests in plain site is really all we need to know. As usual, this government is in panic cleanup mode suddenly standing up to China. Edited November 19, 2022 by Zeitgeist 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The liberals and left have no intention of seriously doing anything about the CCP's massive influence and infiltration of Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbird Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) Why did Xi scold Trudeau? Maybe because Canada spent years helping China erode human rights (msn.com) Edited November 19, 2022 by blackbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah well everything was fair game after having just knocked off a democracy in Iran. AFAIC it was the practice of installing dictators in the places America diddled with that has resulted in a world now infested with dictatorships. What on Earth was the Shiniest Beacon for Democracy and Liberty in the known galaxy thinking? Quote And I seem to recall Trudeau the elder's favorite guy was Fidel Castro. It's a wonder we weren't carpet-bombed ourselves for being so friendly with the enemy. Heck there's people around here who think Trudeau the junior is actually Castro and Margaret's love child. Quote During the cold war it was all about the enemy of my enemy is my friend. And nowadays we have the consequences of things that were done under that paradigm to deal with. Quote Stated principles are nice, but not as effective as tanks, fighters, missiles, and a first class military. These things are more effective at undermining principles than upholding them. They're clearly no good at establishing them given the failure of two world wars to do so. Who knows maybe the 3rd times the charm.
