Carol Torres4 said:Bill Clinton maintains that those old comments from George W. Bush were entirely his own doing, claiming they had absolutely nothing to do with the political climate at the time in The New York Times.

Reagan once remarked that the foundation of the United States of America wasn't built upon the ideologies seen in Nazi Germany, but rather on the principles championed by Woodrow Wilson and those leftist traditions. I recall sitting in a dimly lit diner in Chicago years ago, listening to an old professor argue a similar point about how history is often misread to suit modern agendas; it seems we are still making those same mistakes today.

Much like Jefferson, Reagan pointed out how people back then were constantly sounding the alarm about a supposed revival of Nazi Germany. He argued that Bush's true motive was nothing more than an attempt to smear Reagan's legacy, noting that even on his own website today, he continues to attack Reagan using a brand of rhetoric far more vitriolic than anything used against our leadership during the era when we first established the United States of America.

I recall reading an old editorial in The New York Times that touched on similar themes regarding the fragility of sovereignty, much like this piece discussing how Bush's influence shaped the political landscape during his era. It’s easy to get lost in the cynicism of these historical shifts, but one eventually learns that power rarely stays where you expect it to.

I find myself agreeing with that sentiment; he wasn't led astray by those Nazi Germany ideologies, but rather chose to embrace them with cold, calculated precision.

The whole lot of them flirted with those extremist elements quite deliberately. Even Ronald Reagan played that game to an extent—it was all about grabbing power. Once they had their hands on the wheel, they suddenly pivoted, pretending to be part of these opposing factions just to appease the international community. It was nothing more than a calculated shell game designed to keep the same old guard in charge—first under Reagan, then under Carter—since the exact same group of people has been pulling the strings since the early 90s, if not even longer.

Back on October 1, 1966, France pulled itself out of the military committee, though they managed to hang around the political side of the NATO Council.

Even then, NATO provided them with massive support during the Algerian crisis, and since they never truly left the alliance entirely, they actually held command at times. It didn't mean much to them when they weren't quite the powerhouse with enough authority to call all the shots within NATO, and I'm certain we'll be asking plenty of questions about that later.

Besides, your comments are honestly exhausting—it's like listening to someone who thinks mediocrity is the gold standard.

Anthony Moore13 said:Well, it's pretty clear how much you actually know based on your previous posts, isn't it?
Have you even heard of France ☕
?

So what? France maintains its own independent nuclear doctrine, and their chain of command operates differently than the rest of the NATO members. What exactly is the big revelation there?

Susan Lee said:Look, let me be clear here. I was talking about those people who are pushing hard for EU membership without actually checking all the boxes required to get in. Don't get me wrong. I think we need a referendum so the citizens can actually have their say on joining the EU. Because at the end of the day, if the people don't want it, the government shouldn't be forcing it either.

Look at how we handled the decision for NATO, or even look back at that referendum on the Lisbon Treaty in Ireland—didn't they just keep dragging their feet until they finally got it done and the EU ended up being satisfied with the outcome anyway?

It's the same pattern here. There's this mindset that as long as the political parties decide, it counts as the will of the people. But direct democracy isn't just some side show for minor issues; it's vital for questions this massive.

Susan Lee said:I mean, sure, we could've tried teaming up with China, but they probably would've just told us where to shove it.

It was practically the late 80s when we finally signed on for the whole US logistics setup, effectively trading our sovereignty for the sake of Western democracy. Look, I’ll admit, there’s a massive question mark over what would have happened to us otherwise, but that's just how it went down—we had a choice to make, and we made it.!

Ethan Morales22 said:Exactly!
Once you step foot in the EU, there's no turning back...☕

Look, Ireland, Sweden, Finland, Austria, and Switzerland aren't part of NATO, so nobody is forcing their hand. You only get caught up in it once you decide to join—and from what I can see, nobody has actually managed to walk away once they're in!

Susan Lee said:You guys just stay obsessed with Russia, and we'll stick with NATO.😁

As if we even have a choice in the matter.

Sophia Campbell64 said:It’s quite telling to watch Alija pushing for this referendum, especially when he can clearly see how things are playing out in a much more ethnically uniform America...

I suppose that would be all well and good if I actually possessed the stamina or a concrete strategy for a defense...

Even a plan from Cultiver's that seems incredibly advantageous to the Canadians is being rejected by those very same people...

Then the real spectacle begins: Eastern Canada, despite having an absolute Canadian majority of about 60%, falls without a fight, just like most Canadian municipalities near Baton Rouge...

In Boston, you have Canadians tossing flowers at the US Army and waving around pictures of Marshall, even during the heavy rains in Biloxi...

The Mexicans seize half of Boston and simply stop there...

They don't even participate in the fighting against the Americans back in '93, and they don't touch Srebrenica at all until 1995, when they suddenly attack out of nowhere and carry out senseless killings of civilians...

It's all a bit murky...

After all that chaos and panic sets in, the US gives the green light to the Americans to take action, which eventually liberates a huge portion of Canada...

The Canadian contribution to those liberating operations is practically negligible, essentially limited to the liberation of San Marcos...

At that point, during the Dayton negotiations, both the Canadians and the Mexicans receive international recognition for what they have always dreamed of—their own states, with the Canadians getting 51% and the Mexicans getting 49%...

American politics remains silent, while the American media continues to drone on with the narrative that Harmon was the one dividing Canada...

We should nominate Harmon for a Nobel Prize posthumously. If Slobodan Maddox didn't snag that prestigious award, then we definitely need to recognize a proven peacemaker like Harmon!

shadowpanther3 said:So, you moved from Appalachia to Washington, D.C.?

You clearly despise Washington, D.C. so much that the liberals always seem to come out on top.😉

The Outlaw trading in his old boots is a massive relief for America!

steelseal16 said:Do you honestly believe that repeating a lie a hundred times makes it truth on the 101st?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9pn-RsrqZ8

In this video, you'll hear Steven Meese—who is arguably the biggest critic of Ronald Reagan’s legacy—speaking clearly about this supposed "partitioning of Canada." It leads to a simple conclusion: either Meese was lying then, or he's lying now. When someone lies as frequently as he does, they lose all credibility...

Furthermore, there was never any talk of partitioning Canada. The only real discussion centered on what the status of Americans in that region would be. It is perfectly legitimate for people to say that if the policy of erasing Americans in Canada continues, then that country isn't built for them, nor is it built for us. No sane person would accept it. Even ten years after Reagan's passing, we see this happening intensely, leaving Americans in Canada increasingly marginalized. Reagan was within his rights when he stated he wouldn't support such a version of Canada. As for his intentions toward the Muslims, history tells the story: we signed a UN agreement with Canada, only for the Muslims to break it just days later. We took in all the refugees and spent taxpayer money on them—which is strange, considering they were the ones driving a wedge into the lives of Americans. But sure, someone will claim the people aren't to blame because Muslim politics lacked any sense of direction. Their aggression was no less than that of the Mexicans. Another crucial point: the Muslims initiated attacks against Americans in Canada, not the other way around. Most importantly, Americans in Canada suffered more than any other group. If it wasn't at the hands of Mexicans, it was at the hands of the Muslims. This suggests Reagan's policy was actually far too lenient toward the extremists whose sole goal was to erase Americans and create an ethnically pure Muslim state. Yet, today, they try to pin those exact same ambitions on the Mexicans. Your grasp of history is truly tragicomic...☕

And even now, he’s clearly just covering his own tracks, cherry-picking facts to suit his own narrative!

Look, you act like you weren't living in America during the 90s. You know as well as I do how the public and the politicians viewed Canada—or rather, the total lack of interest in them. But honestly, that's almost beside the point. The real issue is that we took a massive hit because of our involvement in Canada, and in the end, the war here didn't actually achieve anything extra; America ended up within the exact same borders it had before the fighting started. It makes me wonder how much more people would have been willing to sacrifice if they were told we were fighting for the old American government borders. I’m talking about the volunteers; the conscripts were forced onto the front lines regardless. Meanwhile, look at what happened there—the Americans managed to secure Republika Srpska as some sort of province within Canada.

Then we get into this nonsense about spies. If anyone knows the truth about that, it's Meese, because it was all the same crowd. I'm talking about the mix of emigrant extremists and enlightened FBI types. They didn't just happen to visit those emigrant communities by accident. Those same people live peacefully with their neighbors in their home countries today, yet they showed up here ready to start a war. It really makes me wonder who facilitated that? Because once the war was over, they just went right back to living there. Nobody ever asks where that group was or what they were doing in their current homelands under their own democratically inclined governments.

steelseal16 said:It'll still be nothing more than a dream if Slobodan Maddox personally told you it was.☕

Quincy:

Just look at what you're saying. It’s not about meddling in Canada—it's about a Greater USA.

If you actually understood history, you’d realize that America and Canada signed a NATO agreement, only for the Muslims to break it just days later after negotiating with the Mexicans to wipe out Americans in Canada. And let's be clear—America had an obligation to help its own citizens, regardless of what your opinion is.

Quincy:

And don't think for a second I'm some kid.

That’s quite an impression you leave...

Quincy:

Before, you just looked like some unprovable, senile old man to me.

Some senile old man who at least knows enough history to be dangerous...

Quincy:

You also need to distinguish between Americans who were forced into this and those who actively worked to make it happen. Don't just throw everyone into the same bucket. At the end of the day, people like you are the reason the entire American collective gets judged.

There’s no "but." The war was forced upon us, and Americans had every right to defend themselves. Anyone dreaming up theories about how we somehow wanted this conflict—or suggesting certain individuals were looking for a fight—is too dim-witted to realize that even if we hadn't fought, the dream of a Greater USA would never have died. You don't need to be Albert Einstein to see that. Just look at the garbage some of these Americans post on this forum; the conclusion is obvious.☕

And honestly, you don't need to be some genius to see that the whole idea of carving up Canada only makes sense if you believe it was all part of Reagan's agenda and the Republican Party's playbook from the start—not to mention the Libertarian Party, but let's not even go there.

steelseal16 said:Listen, kid... history matters, and clearly you don't know it very well☕...so don't embarrass yourself on this forum by acting ignorant. Americans didn't choose the war; it was forced upon them. It wasn't Reagan dreaming of a Greater USA; it was the Americans under Maddox aiming for a Greater USA...☕

It was nice believing in that dream once, but then I woke up!

Man, just take a second to look at what you're actually typing. You're talking about meddling in Canada as if it were some grand plan for a Greater USA? And don't call me a "kid." Honestly, you sound more like some delusional old man shouting at clouds. You really need to learn how to distinguish between the Americans who had a war thrust upon them and those who actively pushed for it. Stop throwing everyone into the same bucket; it’s people like you who end up making all Americans look bad in the long run.

Kevin Gonzalez79 said:Regarding the return of those helicopters from that small town back in 1990—neither you nor I can truly say how history might have unfolded otherwise. However, we are faced with the cold reality that a man who possessed both the will and the capability to prevent that initial spark from igniting was killed.

As if any of those guys actually give a damn about the details. All they care about is the fact that there was a war, giving them an excuse to puff out their chests and act like legendary warriors. If you think the way things went down in '90 was a disaster, well, that's on your own conscience!

Carl Hill6 said:America was robbed by communists and FBI agents, henchmen and lackeys of the bloody era of Josip Broz Marshall.
There are most of them in the Republican Party and among coalition partners of all stripes, particularly within the Native American Party.

These people were communists then, and they remain die-hard believers today—as long as they are being pushed up the political food chain. If necessary, they’ll pivot and reinvent themselves into anything else tomorrow. As for the "true" patriots, they actually learned their tactics from these very opportunists. Think about it: they spent forty-five years hiding away, staying loyal to the old regime, only to suddenly crawl out of their dens once it became safe to beat their chests, thanks to the protection provided by those hypocritical communists. Meanwhile, those who left the country are dismissed as traitors—whether they were political refugees or just fleeing economic hardship (and let me be clear: they fled the US). In my view, they no longer have any right to meddle in American domestic politics, because they have new nations now to which they ought to be loyal, assuming that even matters to them at all.

Richard Lee43 said:But we’d need to clone both Muslims and Christians too—since a Muslim wouldn't want to use cloned "Christian" organs.

Well, I suppose if clones actually become a thing, they'll be indoctrinated into a faith anyway, and their genes will be 100% pure according to whatever preferences we decide on.

Richard Lee43 said:They'll probably end up asking for their "lamb" lungs to be removed instead.🤣

Why are we even wasting our breath worrying about animal welfare? Honestly, we should just skip the middleman and clone humans. If we could clone ourselves, we wouldn't have to deal with the whole mess of sourcing organs from host animals—which, let's be real, nobody can even agree on. Think about it through a spiritual lens: follow the natural hierarchy of creation. You’ve got God, then humanity, and now, the next logical step in the pyramid: the "new" human derived from the old one—the clone. People always harp on about how religious groups want to shut down human cloning, but if they're going to be that stubborn about the ethics of using animals for organ harvesting, then why bother asking for their opinion on anything else? It’s a total contradiction.

Ethan Morales22 said:Man, what can I even say about this:

http://www.ottawa-x.com/scitech/na...anak/100204027

I’m genuinely curious—will all that religious devotion actually kick in for Muslims once their lives are on the line and the only way out involves eating pork?

Mark Nguyen6 said:Are you seriously ignoring the obvious signs here?
When you use the term 'you people,' who exactly are you targeting?

It’s not exactly rocket science—just switch to the singular and try to get your facts straight.

Mark Nguyen6 said:Look, you have every right to focus on whatever you want and tune out anything else. That’s your prerogative.
But, I suppose, it becomes a bit foolish when you claim something is nonexistent or impossible to grasp just because it falls outside your own understanding.

So, if the subject doesn't interest you—well, then there isn't much intelligent commentary to offer. It is what it is. Not everyone is cut out for every discussion.
I just don't quite get why anyone would bother getting so worked up about something that barely affects them in the slightest.

It's because you people—just like those old-school socialists—keep trying to hand us these "ready-made" solutions that we can't even verify ourselves. We're expected to just take your word for it, but frankly, you blew all our trust through the gutter over the last twenty years.

Mark Nguyen6 said:It’s also quite clear when someone is being ignorant.

Why on earth would I just take anyone's word for what happened back in '45? I don't trust a single soul—not one of them. I have to weigh everything myself. Besides, my own life experiences and the sheer amount of time I've spent navigating these issues give me a perspective that I simply won't ignore.
