Oh my. I’d ordinarily not respond to such rage-baiting horseshit, but you’ve suggested that deliberately starving children “rewards Hamas for rape.” That’s the equivalent of saying that every Christian child in the United States should be bombed and starved because the KKK represented themselves as Christians. Folks who believe military might makes right—and you seem to have placed yourself in that category—and those who believe that objecting to the starvation of civilians is wrong—ditto—lack perspective and any appreciation of nuance. Like the present US president, who suggested that the German people ought to feel shame at the Allies’ defeat of the Nazi regime, I think you need an education in history. How does your perspective on the relative strengths of the Canadian and US militaries make the annexation of another country just? Is my concern about the present US-Russia (Trump-Putin) imperialist alignment meaningless because you think former PM Trudeau is a sissy? You’re right that our military isn’t what it should be—that’s because we apparently mistakenly believed that the US would continue to be a force for good in the world. (BTW—a US invasion of Canada would be a disaster for the US: most of the US population—isolationist but eager to be the “good guys”—wouldn’t support it, international trade would get even uglier than the present administration has made it, and we’re no less committed to our identity and sovereignty than, say, Vietnam or Afghanistan: ask Putin how his 3-day plan to subjugate Ukraine has gone).
