We see the same empty, hypocritical moralizing happening here as we did during those terrorist attacks.. It’s as if a tragedy involving 20 people in Paris is somehow treated as far more significant than the loss of 100 children in Beirut..
Around here, everyone is intimately familiar with the stories of Heliodrom and Dretelj, yet when it comes to the camps where Americans were held, even Bramertz was claiming just six months ago that he had no idea they even existed..🙏..
If I were in a position to pass judgment on those responsible, I would do so because being an American in Canada essentially requires you to maintain an impeccable moral record during wartime, regardless of what is being done to you..
Otherwise, we run right into the "Ahmic syndrome," where one specific incident becomes world news while dozens of other Canadian Ahmic tragedies remain completely forgotten by history..
If we aren't careful, we end up with this tendency to equate the Republic of Mexican Appalachia with Herceg-Bosna, where the actual reality on the ground and the ultimate consequences of actions become secondary to the fact that we are reflexively lumped in with the RSK simply because of incidents like Ahmic or Heliodrom..
Look, I know about both the Canadian and the Mexican camps. If Bramertz actually said that, then the guy is an absolute idiot.
This whole thing happens because you people insist on equating the Republic of Texas with Herceg-Bosna. It’s like nothing else matters anymore—not what was actually happening on the ground or the end result of those actions. Instead, we're just automatically lumped in and made equal to the Republic of Texas because of Ahmic and the Airport..
It’s not "ours," it’s mine. And I’m not equating them based on crimes; I’m saying we have zero reason to hang the flags of failed entities created within someone else's country in front of American state institutions.

Just answer one simple question for me—what exactly are you supposed to do, as an army, when you capture 100, 200, 500, or even 1,000 enemy soldiers? Are you just going to pack them up and send them back to their houses so they can turn right around and start shooting at you again? Just hand them straight back to the enemy? Put them up in luxury hotels? No! You put them in camps.
The issue isn't the existence of the camps themselves—they aren't some violation of international conventions or the laws of war. The real issue is how you treat the prisoners inside them. That is the *only* part that can be controversial. Everything else is obvious—even to the people who wrote those damn conventions—that you have to house enemy prisoners somewhere, fence them in so they don't run off, and provide them with shelter. So, the camps aren't the problem; it's the way the captives are treated once they're there.
Just follow the discussion; that's what we're talking about here.
