According to a Canuck, they don’t need us to protect them.Of course if we left they’d have to pay for their own defense… oh yeah, no one wants to attack them or so it’s been claimed.
Interesting how NATO is great when a Republican uses them, but they’re evil when a Democrat does. Like well, Afghanistan, versus Bosnia or Libya. But yes, with our ridiculous excessive spending on war materials, we do spend more in NATO too.
I reject your strawman.Bombing operations in Libya would last about 2 days due to lack of funding and weapons without the US and you know it.Lucky for you the folks that run your government are better informed. Your military is not prepared to protect Canada much less protect us they way our military protects you.Oh yeah, in your world of make believe no wants to attack you, except maybe the people that Canada has been killing lately.You know Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya.“But, it’s not our fault, America made us do it.” I’m sure that’ll work when al-Qaeda comes knocking. LOL!
If NATO is “worthless”— why don’t the speak Russian now in Madrid and London? Granted, that mission has changed, today it’s about securing access to oil and natural gas, gee, like the US has no interest there.
Yes, STRAWMAN.Let me explain so you can understand.I said we provide protection to Canada, PRESENT TENSE. Deny it all you like but, you are safe and secure under America’s nuclear umbrella. That’s also why Canada doesn’t need much of a military, not because of you haven’t attacked any other nations lately(Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya) but, because we have your back.You’re welcome.You want to “play a game”, trying to change the subject to the past which is not relevant in the least. It is you that is changing the subject, as you often do when you know you have been bested. You should live up to your own standard.

That’s right, run away when you’ve been bested like the cowardly Canadian you are.
