NATO?? The same NATO that's sitting on it's hands in Afganistan? The same NATO that did nothing when the Falklands were invaded? The same NATO that gets most of it's oil and natural gas from those resource grabbing Russians? I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for NATO to help Canada against the Russians if I were you.

NATO isn't sitting on its hands in Afghanistan, they are doing what was originally asked of them. I might not like the caveats many nations have placed on their troops, but when they offered to help in Afghanistan, it was to help rebuild the country, not chase the Taliban into Pakistan. They came to restore government and rebuild a county and that's what their doing.

NATO did help in the Falklands. The US lent intel to the Brits and many nations supported the Brits actions there. Had the Brits asked for military assistance from NATO, it would have been given.

A lot of NATO countries might get oil/gas from the Russians, but if push came to shove, they'd come here, if only to prevent the Russians from getting a huge chunk of oil reserves worldwide (just like they'd prevent the Russians from attacking the Middle East). Look at how the Saudis use their 'oil power' and tell me you think that Europeans would be a-okay with the Russians doing the same...

Yeah, that NATO. You know, the ones who told you, don't go into Iraq, it's a mess, yet, like a spoiled child, you went anyways. Then you got pissed that we wouldn't help you fix what you yourselves broke. If the US wasn't always so pissy to NATO (especially 'Old Europe' as Rumsfeld once called it), the USA might find NATO a little more willing to help out.

I don't know--I think I saw Osama on the bus playing Spiderman 3 on his Nintendo DS last week. He tried to hide, but the beard was a giveaway, plus when he announced "Death to the Infidels."

We were just trying to wind you up dude.

It will allways be a sore spot with the U.S. about losing that one.

We understand that.

Thanks for your understanding, man. It's nice to know we can always confide in you.

Time for the draft in canada!Ya right!our youth are a joke!

What the fuck are you on?

And while we don't have enough, we have to start using what little we have militarywise to protect ourselves. One of the reasons I joined was to go to Afghanistan. But above all else it is my country first, then help others.

Also, there are plenty of youth who have considered the military, but one of two things usually happen: 1. Oil companies drag them out of highschool to work as rig pigs; or 2. they aren't allowed to join for whatever reason, be it their parents were criminals, they are new immigrants, etc.

The immigrant one happened to a buddy of mine, Ryan. Immigrated from South Africa a few years ago. But for whatever reason he and his family still haven't been officially "sworn in." As he isn't a citizen of the country, he can't join the military. Would have made a great bombardier; great at math, tall, strong, nd a fucking nice guy to have around.

He could join the reserves.

If Canada's sovereignty is at stake, so be it. Almost all Canadians, including new immigrants will step up.

I doubt it. You have too many groups in Canada who see themselves as other than Canadian and they're just not going to be loyal to a country in which loyalty to the country has been soundly denounced for the past twenty years or more.[quote]

Easy on calling the kettle black there pot. Last time I checked, the US was hardly a hotbed of isolationism by new or even older immigrants.

Latino-Americans have plenty of loyalty to their homelands
Irish Americans have plenty of loyalty to their homeland (and to the IRA)
Chinese-Americans have plenty of loyalty to their homeland

Etc.
