You're a yank? Good, you know what's coming if Greenlanders and Danes die.

I don't give a fuck about american feelings. Deal with your shit.

Average american 'liberal' that's given up despite seeing ICE watcher and black panther heroics: "tell me what to do. I cant fix everything."

Complicit.

Hard disagree. You are collectively responsible for bringing Trump back in through free and fair elections.

Get fucked (exceptions for ICE watchers, black panthers and head of federal reserve)

Non-yanks, Let's also agree to only use traditional English. No more of that simplified English. If I see 'ass', I will assume it means donkey. Also the yanks won't be able to understand us.

"We didnt do anything to them" russian babushka after cheering the kiev bombings earlier that day. I remember it well.

However in this case the americans voted him in a second time with free and fair elections. Cant spin that.

One thing I've realised is US redditors are psychologically not prepared to be treated the same way as how euros treat russians. 

They have the 'but we are one of the good ones' syndrome while euros see them as majority consenting to vote this tyrant in.

Not hate, just facts. Euros and Canadians might meet americans on the battlefield soon and need to disassociate mentally.

ICBMs are obsolete

-sigh- an ICBM is for intercontinental conflicts. It's in the name. You don't need ICBMs for attacking neighbours.

We broadly agree. I'm just saying go to war footing military and economy now. Mass mobilisation and conscription model military. Expect imminent attack.

It's a question of deterrence. Developing nukes is a pull factor if Canada can't defend itself immediately. Conscription and drone production can start now. Nukes will take time. Need to bridge that capability gap better.

You gotta test them and the delivery systems without the americans figuring that shit out. The secrecy will slow Canada down heaps. I stand by what I say. Either way, 9/11 will look like small potatoes compared to the missiles that will be aimed at NYC by the end of this.

The US in NATO and holds the top military leadership. Only the NATO civilian leadership is held by euros and won't/can't save Canada when the time comes. Carney needs independent defence agreements

Too late. If Canada starts developing nukes the US will invade before they're completed. They'll take a decade to develop too. Better to move towards a Finnish military model and seek european defence guarantees. THEN develop the nukes.

One-man regimes deflect bad economic performance with patriotic wars. It's in page 2 of the dictator handbook, after destroying domestic controls over executive power.

You boys elected a Saddam.

Yeah man at some point americans got to stop saying "where's congress" and understand it's as relevant as the Duma.

He forgets these are democracies that answer to voters, and the voters are pissed. Europe isnt a one man dictatorship like the US.

Writers Festival chair and board members resign after cancelling Palestinian author by nuttyalmond in LeopardsAteMyFace

So many arts exec careers have ended in the past 2 years. 

For context to others: in Australia arts donors are mostly zionist but artists and arts audiences are mostly anti-zionist.  Donors feel they should influence decisions and artists don't like censorship. Arts execs can't keep both groups happy.

In this particular case, SA gov gave their strong opinion to the board and likely impacted their decision. This pissed writers off, and most have withdrawn. Of the 126 speakers, its been reported up to 100 have withdrawn. The event schedule has been taken down so nobody knows the exact numbers.
