Destroy Iran's nukes to save our cities

She says she’d obliterate them in retaliation. I think we shouldn’t let it come to that. Destroy their arsenal before they can use it. These aren’t bows and arrows we’re talking about and the mad mullahs aren’t reasonable men.

> Manitoba-—if it has oil. We take them and their oil

Not so much oil, neither Saskatchewan. Both have plenty of grain, as does Alberta. Manitoba has plenty of fresh water and superb fishing.

But maybe a better proposition would be for Canada to annex Texas, Colorado, Georgia, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Alaska, Hawaii and Montana instead. I’m sure they could put these states to much better use than you Yanks can. Heck, you won’t even miss them!

Maybe Canada will even lend you some Quebec politicians: if you think your elections are interesting this time around, wait until somebody named Bourassa takes over the Oval Office.

We have the military forces to take oil and natural resources from Canada. Not the other way around

> We have the military forces to take oil and natural resources from Canada. Not the other way around

The two times that the United States and Canada fought each other, the US got badly mauled. History is not on your side.

[dennisw]

Times change plus I think the Canadians had England and Indians fighting with them way back then. The police force of New York City is better armed than Canada’s military. They spend on socialism up there, not on the military. We provide some nuclear defense for them. I don’t think they have nukes unless we lent them one or two

Australia’s population is roughly the same as Canada’s. I’ll bet your military establishment is 10x larger. You are very close to some potentially hostile nations, some with exploding populations

> They spend on socialism up there, not on the military.

Problem is, of course, your military is ummm... kinda busy someplace else. And by time it got back to where it could be useful, a contingent of Royal Canadian Mounted Police could have driven quickly to Washington DC and arrested your President, plus the entire Senate and Supreme Court.

They would get there fastest with the mostest, just like the last two times.

Those who do not learn from History are doomed to repeat it.

Touché!

Al little more complicated that the parallels of nuclear capabilities. The DPRK is different because the people idolize the regime. They can invade and/or cause massive destruction to an ally we will be drawn into a regional war with China. The Bush administration has been putting extreme diplomatic pressure on NK. State has been working to bring light NK’s nuclear ambitions to the UN while simultaneously starving the nation of heavy oil and food, short of humanitarian aid. It’s shit or get off the can for Kim Jong-il and either way we’re covered.

It was the brits not canadians when we fought in 1812. Now the world is much different where we are a superpower(back then we were a weak nation) and they are a socialist nanny state with a weak military that relies on the US for North American security. I’m not advocating a takeover of Canada, they should be thankful we are a benign power unlike russia or china.Facts just suck sometimes dont they. Thats the problem with euro and other assorted anti-US people. They have no idea what they would face if the US wasn’t a just power. We could have air dominance over Canada in less than a day.Followed by Naval dominance in a few days. I like Canada but those are the facts.

[MARKUSPRIME]

Do you understand that we are a nation of 300 milion now who actually bear arms. No land force would ever take our capital.Now i think you are just joking but its sort of funny when people think we are tied up. Our air force and navy are not tied up at all.

>>>North Korea is a bad actor to be sure, but they haven’t done anything close to what Iran has done in terms of sponsoring Jihadist terrorist groups for decades.<<<

Right....helping syria build a plutonium processing reactor doesn't count!?

...doesn't count cause Israel just bombed it into a Syrian sandpile!

[Marine_Uncle]

I don't believe 95% of the things she has blurted out over the years.
It is so easy to say what she did to sound tough. She really does not mean it. She wants to sound tough on foreign policy and national security interests.
But in the reality could give a *hit less. Her mission is to get in and further the cause of liberalism and socialism in this country. It is plain and simple. She is a commie, perhaps moreso then Bubba. How could she obliterate a Russian/Chinese trading partner.

The only Canadians we need to fear are the Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen!

LMAO

[Centurion2000]

The problem is that terrorist organisations have neither. They are simply groups of individuals with no responsibility for, and no control over, a state or its population.

Deterrence breaks down as a consequence.

Wrong, destroy what the terrorists hold dear. Holy Cities, Koran printing plants and native populations are good choices.

[LSUfan]

I would bet dollars to donuts that Iran was involved in that project. Syria doesn’t have the other infrastructure to justify plutonium production. Iran does. If they have the plutonium they have a bomb inside of 3 months max.

I would bet also that Iran was paying both the North Koreans and the Syrians for the project

(Big Grin!) I think a few of their Elite Bearded Lesbian Feminist Parliamentarians might give you pause to reflect...
