I guess a "20 year window", like the "climate change" BULL$HIT, is a reasonable enough time-span window to SCARE people.

Elect Trump and there will be NO WARS! If there, by chance, happen to be, they will be over quickly under Trump's leadership.

Trudeau was followed by Mulroney who continued in Quebec worship (more actually).

Why join a peacetime military where you have no career prospects ?

(the Cold War “patriotism” of Trudeau, Mitterand, and Andreotti was not sufficient incentive)

Let me ask again: do you advise against white men joining the current US military, or is the need for cannon fodder against Russia more important than truthful career advice ?

“You were even avoiding military service when I was joining your Canadian Airborne Association to show solidarity with your Special Operations Regiment.”


After 2006 ?

I was 42 years old, and the Cold War was long over.

Maybe you mean the Canadian Airborne Regiment, which was disbanded by Chretien and Collenette, along with a 25% military budget cut ?

This is the proud military I am supposed to have joined ?

You were still eligible to serve but you just aren’t the type to serve in the military, and you didn’t seem to notice the disbanding of your Airborne Regiment.

You just aren’t the type.

“Inciting the Baltics to persecute ethnic Russias in 2024, after they have lived there for decades, tells me all about NATO’s intentions.”

Nato incited Baltics to persecute Ethnic Russians!?!?! That just sounds like something that Putin and Russia would say. Maybe you got it off a fringe site. Maybe you are a Russian troll. Do you have anything credible to back that up with?

You sure have a variety of excuses for why you avoided military service, quite a few different ones on this thread, including ranging from it being too woke in 1980 to you being so woke that you would not serve with a military that allowed the Airborne Regiment in it.

I was never going to join the peacetime Canadian military just for French requirement alone.

But I absolutely remember the Airborne regiment.

They hyped some training and discipline problems into a huge white supremacy hoo-haw and used it to further degrade and defund the Canadian Forces.

Just like what is being done now to every NATO military.

The Canadian Forces has long been used as a test ground for Progressive inspired changes that the Leftist elements in the US military want to do, but couldn’t.

Starting with Unification / Combined Forces.

The Airborne Regiment “scandal”. was nothing more than some discipline problems that the usual leftists hyped into their usual nigdolatry and white supremacy panic.

You weren’t required to speak French to serve in your nation’s military and as far as the Regiment, I’m the one who showed support for them, not you.

How many decades were you eligible? I think the Canadians allow enlistment up to a very late age.

If you became eligible about 1980 what did it run up to, about 2015?

Why would anyone join a sorry mess like the peacetime Canadian Forces (post 1963, when Pearson got in) ?

Nothing was going to get you into the military, any military, at any time, for any reason.

No.

Only, in the event of an actual war.

You are fake and completely dishonest while devoting your days to this American forum telling us that the United States and Europe need to fall to Red China and Russia.

Why would Russia want to go to war with NATO? The Nevile Chamberlain “ peace in our time” Putinistas on FR assure us that Russia only wants Crimea and Donbas and would never attack Poland or any NATO country.

Nothing could get you into the military, absolutely nothing, nothing could and nothing did.

” United States and Europe need to fall to Red China and Russia. “


The USA and EU could get their act together, they could have the demographic and industrial heft to secure themselves.

Someone quoted Luke 14:31

“Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand? “

Because of self-inflicted deindustrialization and demographic decline, NATO is now the King with ten thousand.

Unfortunately, delusional BoomerCons and Cold War re-enactors think NATO still has thirty thousand, and their foolishness is going to drag us all into an unwinnable war.

That was gibberish, and not a response to.

“You are fake and completely dishonest while devoting your days to this American forum telling us that the United States and Europe need to fall to Red China and Russia.”

I’ll let anyone who has the misfortune to read this decide if this is gibberish or not.

Why would a guy who wants Red China and Russia to defeat America and Europe and who despises and mocks conservatism be on a conservative site trolling all day?
