Nationalized, stole, who cares? The Cubans even offered to pay for it initially but the US refused due to it not being the way they wanted. I believe the term when a government seizes assets and offers compensation is expropriation which is legal everywhere. There is also reasons why they...

The US is still mad that their companies lost money from assets seized when the Communists took over from the brutal dictatorship that the US favoured. Any attempt to blame the blockade on ‘dictatorships’ is just a lie, the US has no issues with dictatorships, as long as they play ball in...

Us criticizing them is pretty funny considering their capabilities are still substantially greater than ours. What do we have for a navy again? Oh 4 subs that basically don’t work, 12 frigates which are in very questionable shape and past their intended lifespan, a leased resupply ship, some...

Considering the government hid the fact we were in active combat in Bosnia (Medak Pocket) I always question when the government is hiding this stuff.

It doesn’t matter why they feel they should do things, the same way a Palestinian might feel justified for Oct 7 based on how they have been treated for decades. Two wrongs don’t make a right and if Israel is serious about being the good guys they need to hold those who step outside it...

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm2xrz71zm3o Good to see them completely abandon their commitments to law and order. Guess it’s ok to rape and beat detainees if it is a Palestinian.

Big words from a guy voters rejected…

If we change government systems I would like to go to the Swiss Federal system. It would work well for what we already have established (provinces are basically cantons). Otherwise I would rather stick with what we have. This system would likely work quite well for Canada and it’s competing...

Prices don’t have to jack up. The US and Canada are net exporters. We don’t have to participate on the global oil market to secure ourselves. We choose to, there is a difference.

Ahh yes the same EVs that require China to get the rare earth minerals from… true strategic independence there.

Don’t forget the pot vote, that was huge in the 2015 election.

You can have bigots and racists who treat people fairly. Someone having biases doesn’t mean they inherently act upon them.

I would disagree with the murder and manslaughter charges. He did not kill anyone himself, that is the actions of his son. He did not council his son to kill anyone, he isn't a accessory. The reckless conduct charges make sense though, as his actions absolutely fall under it.

The fact military or former military members are debating whether sinking a unarmed ship without providing a opportunity to surrender is a good thing, should tell you much about how the general public will react to such a move. If the US wants to be successful in governmental change they need...

There is different ways to achieve the same result. The same water which softens the potato hardens the egg. If the goal is to keep the public turned against the government and want to overthrow them with someone that is in the US interest, excessive or cruel acts aren’t necessarily the best...

If thats the case the US should be bombed into the ground as well. Kinda hard for the US to stand on the high ground when they are guilty of the same if not more.

Just because it doesn’t require a invitation to surrender doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be offered. Same thing for soldiers on land, surrender or die is not a requirement but it is a honourable thing to offer. At this point considering the US and Israel are already violating international law...

There is a difference between fear of being engaged in combat and recognizing that any sort of resistance is a immediate and pointless death sentence. Pointless suicide missions for the sake of suicide missions don’t win wars, or even help your cause. Giving up the ship gives them the ability...

Reducing the age limit to 16 isn’t ‘ruining’ the program it would be removing a conflict of interest between national defense and a youth program. Wanting quantified outputs is important to me wishing to fund the program.

So one is taxpayer funded and run and one is expected to survive off of their own funds? Scouts also ends before 16. To me Cadets needs to pick a lane, either its a youth program (which to me youth is generally 16 or under) or it is a pipeline for recruitment. If it is just a youth program...
