The “side show” you mention is Trump having to account for his corruption and theft. It is not meant as a distraction. It is someone being called out for breaking every law he can. It has nothing to do with the government itself.
Canada never asked for your “protection”. Canada entered WW I and WW II well before the USA did. USA only entered those wars because of the sinking of the Lusitania (WWI) and Pearl Harbor (WWII), otherwise they may not have entered those wars at all.The reason the USA “protects Canada” is because Arctic lands are mostly in Canada and if Russia wanted to attack the USA, it would come over the top of the world. The DEW Line was created to have advance notice of any Russian missiles aimed at the USA. Having the US Military stationed in Alaska eliminated the need for the DEW Line.Forget the USA being the World’s Protector. Desert Storm? The USA was protecting their access to Middle East Oil. Attacking Iraq? Same reason. Americans do not want to be at war, but those multi-billion dollar munitions manufacturers need war to keep increasing their profits, and since they own Washington, it will continue to happen.
No it does not. No one has the right to force their “rights” on anyone else. BTW, most of what you call “rights” are actually privileges…which have to be EARNED. No one persons rights superseded anyone else’s. All people have the same rights.
Since when do men NOT expect something particular in return for a “gift”?
