You're not curious. You know what it is. Why is it so hard to say? It's "America bad."

And fine, buy all of your military hardware elsewhere. When will you be leaving NORAD and NATO then? Of course you won't. So this is performative.

No, it’s a lost sale.

The American head of state threatened to invade and annex the country, and you boil that down to a sarcastic "America bad"?

Erm, they can stay in NATO with the other European members just fine. It's the US that is making noises about leaving. NORAD is another matter, but the US and Canada can each run their own radars - the targets are south of the 49th parallel for the most part.

Historically, it isn't Canada that's been threatening to leave NATO.

That's true. But if America is so bad, why are you still in it?

I'm an immigrant to the US. I'm sorry you are so ready to throw away what people went through hell to get.

    That's true. But if America is so bad, why are you still in it?

I am not. I have never lived in the US. I live in Canada, and I've had my country's sovereignty threatened by the US in the past 18 months.

America threatened both Canada and Greenland. Both NATO countries. It is engaged in murders of boatsmen, it started an illegal war that literally harmed countries around the world, it kidnapped a president just so it can blackmail is former right hand and is intentionally causing humanitarian catastrophe in Cuba to blackmail its government.

NORAD relies on radar stations in Canada.

This comment is like a poem encapsulating American hubris.

> You seem to have a few of your own: "Canada only has to patrol its northern border"

Another belief I hold is that you didn't care to click the link or read past the title because it literally states "aircraft to patrol Arctic territory" in bold font in the sub-heading.

You're being deliberately obtuse with nothing constructive to add to this discussion.

> You seem to have a few of your own: "Canada only has to patrol its northern border"

the Canadians do not aggressively patrol the southern border because that is where all of the people are -- unlike the north -- and because the reality is that the entire Canadian military is basically a speedbump for if/when the US invaded in earnest.

Americans: X country is only a speed bump for our awesome military. Also Americans: Have never managed to win a single war on their own while usually fighting underdeveloped tribes whose most advanced equipment is sandals, while at the same time both allies and enemies have a billion jokes on how bad they actually are.

You need a special kind of personality to be this confident while currently losing a war, one that is, well, associated with Americans.
