  1. Canada’s population is a drop in a bucket.
  2. It is amazing how German police is unprepared to deal with this situation. First day of the protest, they were caught off guard, but no excuse for day 2 to be unprepared. After Charlottesville rally, German media was pating itself on the back, how tough they are on fascist salutes, flags, holocaust denial etc. Year later, 6000 brown shirts are marching in a country with 1/4th of USA population. https://www.bild.de/politik/inland/politik-inland/nach-der-schande-von-chemnitz-frau-merkel-das-muss-jetzt-passieren-56932028.bild.html http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/chemnitz-right-wing-riots-enter-second-day-a-1225321.html https://www.economist.com/kaffeeklatsch/2017/08/13/how-germany-responds-to-blood-and-soil-politics?zid=307&ah=5e80419d1bc9821ebe173f4f0f060a07
  3. One of the suspects was arrested in Turkey. This might be presumptuous of me, but I don’t think his name ends with son. https://www.dw.com/en/gothenburg-car-fires-swedish-man-arrested-in-turkey/a-45091372
  4. This thing is a beaut for sure, I have seen better looking clay model cars. I wonder is it shoots AK rounds? https://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/hybrid-electric/a22825307/kalashnikov-soviet-style-electric-car/
  5. Things have gotten worse in Europe, since mass influx of immigrants for sure. Almost all Western European countries have lower murder rate than Canada though.
  6. No need for people from Sweden, Finnland, Switzerland etc. to immigrate to Canada. Standard of living in their countries is just as high.
  7. Another “stable genius” https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/philippines-president-questions-whether-trudeau-understands-history-politics/ar-BBMi7OF?li=AAggNb9
  8. They have been going over old prints, trying to catch people committing fraud. In the past, they would usually go after war criminals, nazis, organized crime etc. It appears that they are casting a wider net. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/scanning-immigrants-old-fingerprints-us-threatens-to-strip-thousands-of-citizenship/2018/06/13/2230d8a2-6f2e-11e8-afd5-778aca903bbe_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.2d826a1b9b5c
  9. Man arrested on suspicion of terrorism in London. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/aug/14/car-crashes-security-barriers-houses-of-parliament
  10. Germans are starting to have a debate about nuclear weapons. Their military is in such sad shape, they could not fight off a cold, much less an actual army. https://www.politico.eu/article/german-bomb-debate-goes-nuclear-nato-donald-trump-defense-spending/
  11. Anyone that disagrees with my views, is either a fascist or a pinko.
  12. I like how you consider 10-15 years ago way back. Joking aside, JBS was a one of the first right wing groups in USA, they were founded in the 1950’s.
  13. When Igor Sikorsky fled Russian empire, that was a huge loss for them. H-19 and H-34, sea king, sea stallion, Black Hawk, Seahawk etc.
  14. Sikorsky helicopters have always been great.
  15. Their raw date is pretty accurate, as far as rankings go, I draw my own conclusions. They have NK listed as largest navy in terms of ships, in reality most of those are old and decrepit.
  16. Here is a comparison between Germany and U.K https://www.globalfirepower.com/countries-comparison-detail.asp?form=form&country1=united-kingdom&country2=germany&Submit=COMPARE You are correct though, U.K military has been on a decline for a while. They do have the nuclear deterrent though, but overall they would never be able to withstand a major invasion.
  17. They have over 100 ships and subs.
  18. I don’t think Trump could do it unilaterally, he would need congress to support him. Honestly it would take years to pull tens of thousands of troops out of Europe. Germany’s is nowhere near being able to defend itself, much less entire Europe. Recently I read an article that Bundeswehr soldiers, used wooden riffles to practice since they don’t have enough of real ones. Turkey, France, U.K have respectable military forces, the rest would fold like a cheap tent. I think Trump is using these threats as a leverage to get something else.
  19. @Ryan Strome Interesting article, I don’t think Putin in his wildest dreams, could have dreamt situation unfolding like this. https://globalnews.ca/news/4321289/why-canada-needs-nato-now-more-than-ever-experts/
  20. Lot of stupid people in the world these days. https://www.si.com/soccer/2018/06/24/jimmy-durmaz-sweden-racial-abuse-social-media-germany-loss-world-cup
