I have trouble believing the west will hold together much longerCanada and the West are at war with Russia whether they want it or not: military experts - National | Globalnews.ca
Russian aggression is the top challenge for liberal democracies right now, military experts warned.globalnews.ca
does the west have another option ?I have trouble believing the west will hold together much longer
It does not seem quite so funny to those of us closer to the rogue state that is Russia. Nor to me - I experienced WWII for three years while the US was at peace.Hell, I'm up to a proper European Ground war. It's been too damn long.
We can ration gas and sell bonds again! Make f-35s in the Tesla factories. We can lend lease Ukraine and teach our girl children how to rivet with a bandana in their hair.
Oh the good old days.

Canada is a founding member of NATO which has demonstrated in relation to Ukraine is the most powerful military alliance of history.Litwin:
Your question was 'are our countries ready to fight Russia?'. Given the appalling condition of the Canadian Armed Forces, we are not. That was what the "No" meant. Canada does not have the means to fight Russia and alas, we will not have that capability for years to come.
Canada is a founding member of NATO which has demonstrated in relation to Ukraine is the most powerful military alliance of history.
A defensive alliance of democracies.
Which frustrates totally the old approach by bully powers such as Russia to pick 'em off one at a time, individually, separately, isolated and alone.
Busted.

I said nothing about cadets in my reply to you, or at all.Send in the cadets!
Finland is ready to fight Moscow in case of attack "Finland has been preparing for a Moscow attack for decades and will offer fierce resistance if it happens," said Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Timo Kivinen
“I did what I was told to do, as well as I could. There would be no Finland unless everyone else had done the same” – Simo Häyhä
THIS is how to respond to Moscow threats. With a firm response. Finland knows how to handle Putin and his regime better than most
Is your country ready to fight the Muscovites ?

Rexedgar:Send in the cadets!
Shot rattled off the woodwork! (Point sailed wide)Rexedgar:
We have precious few of them too! Shall we send them with what we euphemistically call notional weapons systems*?
* Nada!
Cheers and be well.
Evilroddy.
You yourself haven't any point up there in the vast Frozen North.Tangmo:
Your point being? We don't have the kit, the heavy weapons, the planes, the ships and the subs nor the logistic resources to fight Russia. Our armed forces are an impotent shambles which is preoccupied with less martial issues like sexual harassment inquiries and senior officers allegedly leaking embarrassing secrets right now. We'd have a hard time fighting off the Grand Duchy of Fenwick let alone Russia, which is right next door to us too. We cannot carry our weight in NATO right now. That was my point.
I think you missed my point, again, along with Litwin.
So much for your Gotcha! posting, eh?
Be well and stay alive.
Evilroddy.
Tamgmo:You yourself haven't any point up there in the vast Frozen North.
The only points you yourself have up there are icicles.
So as I'd posted in scrolling, Canada is a founding member of NATO and that NATO is what's known as a nation's force multiplier.
And it's the case that virtually every place the US armed forces go globally some Canadian armed forces go right along with 'em.
Canadian Navy has a frigate doing Freedom of Navigation Ops in the Taiwan Strait as but one instance. Yeah, all the way over there and right up Beijing's nose besides.
You meanwhile work to disparage your armed forces. Denigrate 'em. Disparage 'em. Trash 'em. To include anyone anywhere who speaks well of 'em.
You denigrate one authorized and honorable function of the armed services that are executed by regular forces and you denigrate and degrade them all which definitely is your proclivity.Tamgmo:
Unfortunately we cannot send preening and pampered parade-park peacocks to pointlessly posture and peck potential Putin pugilistic personnel around Poltava. We need real combat soldiers, not parade penguins. That or we need drunken pipers!
Be well.

Remove your inside the Canada border blinders plse thx...whoa!
Canada is nothing to NATO... It has virtually no ground force or navy and it's air force is falling out of the sky. It has two oceans, the USA, and the north poll surrounding and protecting it. For cris sake Canada is a flower nation of the opinion that their defense should be nohting more than a limp wrist and the four walls mentioned. They refuses the F35 because "it is too offensive" even though they signed up for it.
If Tredeau vanishes we can talk
or put another way: don't be stupid and speak of that you understand or stfu
I said NATO is a force multiplier to Canada national security and stability in the world.whoa!
