Putin just wants to restore the USSR. He is much less dangerous then lets say then China. And then you have the matter of a large portion of Ukraine would rather be part of Russia anyway. Throwing money at the thing will only make the meatgrinder run longer. And before you continue this then yeah i wouldn't change my view if it was in my own country. What i'm trying to say is caring doesn't help unless it's a peace treaty.

    So, you are saying you would be okay with another country taking over your own? What a strange position to take.

      Canada can't defend itself from anyone. Your military isn't capable. Do you deny that?

        That's the whole idea behind NATO. So one country doesn't have to be alone in the world.

        Now rant about NATO. GO!!!

          Canada isn't meeting NATO commitment.


          A trove of leaked Pentagon secrets included Prime Minister Justin Trudeau privately telling NATO that Canada would never meet the military alliance's targets for defence spending, the Washington Post reported Wednesday.

          That's a strange stance to take.

              You want Nato's help but don't pay your fair share to the cause. That's a fact, son. Canada are entitled little bitches.

Another way too look at the issue is that America needs to focus on itself for a while or else it won't be around at all to police the world in the future. We should understand the reality of the human condition and human nature but we shouldn't think that a government will cure it. also wtf does constantly worrying about gobal matters even accomplish?
                  That attitude would have let the Nazis and Japan take over the world

                          Canada is a rich country, right? I thought you believe in the rich paying a fair share?

                            I have about as much control over that as I do of convincing you to buy a dictionary.

                              You don't have control over anything but your sure do run your mouth about the rich paying their fair share. Hypocrite much?

                                As you just reiterated. I don't have any control over it.

                                PLEASE. I beg you, buy a dictionary!!
