Maybe the Canadians are our closest "ally" in actual proximity, but it is more a rainy day relationship oftentimes.Canadians are America's closets Ally......The mutual defense is much appreciated...Canada also tends not invade other countries over false information (Iraq) or failed doctrines (Vietnam) or just made up Non sense (Grenada and Panama)...So there is that
I have engaged with enough Canadian ingrates here on site to know they are not that close in actual friendship nor in real desire to assist the nation [ even just in words, not so much in deeds or even upholding their agreed upon share of their own defense ] that assures, and has done so for at least the last 75 plus years, the freedoms of the rest of the free world.
You have no real clue, it is more than quite apparent, as to the chess board we are required to play to assure those very freedoms for that period. If we act, correctly or inadvertently or even in cases wrongly, the overall impact has been far better than ANY other nation in planetary history. And folks that hate that we act generally are hypocritical in desiring that we be expected to do so when they want us to act... you know, in their stead. Because they are too weak of political and moral character ...or just too weak themselves militarily.
Undeniable [to the sane at least].
