Normally, I would applaud PM Harper for this move, but we do not live in normal times. I don't know how effective Canadian sanctions will be once the US and Europe cave. Also I find it difficult to choose between the illegitimate Ukrainian kleptocrats and the illegitimate Russian kleptocrats. They are neighbors and they are going to have to learn to get along.

Yes, that would be great. All we need are some icebreakers and subs that can operate under the ice. A naval base at Churchill, Manitoba might be something else to consider.

Mr Obama said in a statement: "The executive order is intended to provide clarity to US corporations doing business in the region and reaffirm that the United States will not accept Russia's occupation and attempted annexation of Crimea."

Let’s see if I got this right. Russia puts missiles in Cuba in the 60’s and we have a sh*t fit, take it to the brink of war, Russia withdraws missiles. NATO negotiates with Ukraine to join NATO and to put ABMs a hundred miles from the Russian border and Putin is supposed to...what...start singing “it’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood”. NATO’s belligerence is nothing more than a reaction by the globalist oligarchy to the BRICS trading bloc, period. Don’t believe me, watch this video and wake up, conservatives: The Money Masters

I'd say there is a damn big difference between an ABM and a 50 KT Nuke Warhead.

What don't you get? ABMs pose zero threat to Russia... They are purely defensive.

If Putin does not have designs to fire nukes, he has no reason to sing any song other than it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

Yah, right. What would stop you from a first strike if you knew your enemy could not counter attack? Doesn’t anyone think strategically any more? The Ruskies sure as hell took the NATO/ABM threat seriously which is why we’re having this discussion.

The operative part of that sentence is... if you knew your enemy could not counter attack?

The answer is Uncertainty. Will they all work? They all have to work or you take one hell of a hit as well.

One hell of a gamble there.

Those ABMs were a provocation against Russia’s initiative in starting the BRICS trading bloc as a flanking maneuver against the World Bank, IMF and other oligarch financial cabals that monopolize debt transactions and raw materials pricing and distribution. We need to study this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq9yjt_JbWs

and come to a functional understanding of how too big to fail “monopoly capitalism” is but a heartbeat away from out and out fascism. Conservatives typically rubber stamp every play the parasitic financial aristocracy foists onto a gullible and ignorant public. Republicans used to be an anti-monarchist initiative. We need to stop sucking up to Wall St. Do some research on the Bush family and its connections to the CFR and Harriman/Rockefeller globalist financial interests. We need to stop being stupid on this. You think liberals are maleable and knee jerk. Look in a mirror.

Holy crap. You want to defend Russia by attacking supposed shadowy Western oligarchs, when Russia's entire political and economic system is nothing but an oligarchical mafia and openly so. They don't even try to hide it.

Rockefeller and Harriman???? Man, the 1950s called --- they want their conspiracy theory back.

You watched the video, right? (snicker). No, I get it, you put your opinions in the driver seat and let them valet you to the Blind Spot. Tell you what, son, watch the ding dong video and get back to me. I got a red an white cane for you in the off center chance you want to get somewhere relevant.
