[Chad C. Mulligan]

If Quebec goes independent, join the BRICs, and goes into a military alliance with Russia and China, and lets China and Russia build military bases, we would hear a whole different story from US NeoCons of the “sanctity of international borders” and the “independence of sovereign states” ... etc. etc.

A positively SILLY speculation. Quebec is too dependent on the rest of Canada to actually declare independence. The last "independence" flurry caused a huge outflow of industries to Ontario and the Maritimes, leaving them almost without an industrial economy. They won't do that again.

[Reverend Wright]

If they ever strike oil in Quebec, we won’t see them for dust.

My point remains, that if there were Chinese and Russian military bases at Huntington and Stanstead, we would hear a whole different tune from NeoCons on the “sanctity” of international borders.

And Russian and Chinese bases in Mexico is not a remote possibility. Especially if the Cartels gain even greater influence.
