Alliances aren't what they used to be :(

@ServantOfTheGoddess if the Cuban missle crisis is any indicator I would imagine we would treat an attack on them as an attack on us

@Eternity True. I don't find the history of US-Cuba relations very encouraging in other respects though! I have no wish to be the target of vicious sanctions and occasional invasion attempts if we were to elect a truly left-wing government....

@ServantOfTheGoddess Canada is a NATO nation, end of story.

@QuixoticSoul I don't understand why you have to be so damn insulting. Yes! Ukrainians work much harder than Russians or Americans. I love my Ukrainian friends, but I hate my hypocritical government who disregards all things to encourage war.
(That is all ridiculous because taking Russia and Ukraine into one country would be like taking north and south America into one country! ) This is none our business to begin with, but........They are playing each other against each other to form an alliance that will hurt us all. Russia and US should be best of friends. We are the best of idiots!

@QuixoticSoul Dude. You have no insight. It seems you have no knowledge of history either. We should all be dancing and singing together. We destroyed hate together!!! and now we have hate. That makes me hate you! We did a dance at the end of war. Anyone who disagrees is cruel and hard!

@Oberon1 Nobody insulted you, but I’m half Russian, quarter Ukrainian, and quarter Belarussian - and I’ve lived in and visited those places, still read their local media, etc. I know more about them because these are my original people and culture. I know them in ways you do not, especially since you deal with immigrants - who are the creme off the top, the most driven and dedicated representatives of any group.

And no, we will not be dancing, Russia and the US are geopolitical antagonists for very real and structural reasons.

@BoredDarkLord You are right 😭

@HazyDayz Same with China.

@SW-User definitely

@HazyDayz @SW-User might makes right :(

@Northwest For once in my life, I agree. it may not please you, but I will never let go of our love for each other!
I have eaten radishes out of the ground, and I have shot stingers. I would much rather dance. Let's keep dancing! I

@Oberon1 OK, but I have no idea what you're talking about. Is this Oberon1, or the other personality that blocks me: Puck?

@Northwest Radishes Nothing else really matters..

@hippyjoe1955 Also typical of your lines of argument: a diversion tactic. Canada isn't "famous" for producing weapons; that's utterly irrelevant to the fact that we manufacture and deal in them.

@ServantOfTheGoddess So how about you provide a list of weapons Canada does produce. Seems simple enough. Canada produces a lot of parts of weapons but can you name something that is a complete weapon that Canada manufacturers and sells to the world?

@hippyjoe1955 Here is quite a lot of recent data.
