I have to say it's exactly the opposite. There's no realistic conventional deterrent we could deploy that would be more than a bump in the road. On the other hand, a couple KSS-3 subs off each coast with several nuclear tipped ballistic missiles puts tens of millions of lives and trillions of dollars of infrastructure on the table. It's about making invasion unthinkable, not desperately fighting an asymmetrical conventional battle we're doomed to lose.

I mean, yea, he's already threatening to annex my country so I would like to see more spending. Specifically on a sovereign nuclear deterrent.

I thought it meant you were classified as a battleship...

Definitely hammered. I imagine he's a low priority target in that condition since he's a considerable risk to himself and his comrades. Already seen a few videos of shitfaced Russians shooting each other or detonating munitions by accident. Just let him work lol

This is how you can tell he wanted to make a statement, he went after a Rich. If he was just looking to murder without it being a big deal he could have just killed a few dozen school children.

I think he also wants to get in before the trade war starts. It will negatively impact his campaign if Canadians are actively pissed with trump, and therefore trump's admirers.

The median age of this group was more than 77. The vast majority – around 96% - had a death deemed "reasonably foreseeable", due to severe medical conditions such as cancer.

In the small minority of other cases, patients may not have been terminally ill, but sought an assisted death due to a long and complicated illness that had significantly impacted their quality of life.

Ah yes, "abused" through being used exactly as designed.

What if they denounce Israel and it genocide, or perhaps it's unilateral attacks on their country without declaration of war, or their occupation of Syrian territory? I think we know how things are going to go for Syria.

They're likely trying to damage the infrastructure a new government would need to take full control of the country. They want it to remain unstable so that there can't be a more organized Arab state in the reason. Despite America's support of occupation and genocide, there is a limit to how many Arab countries they can suppress.

Oh good, that should do it. Fucking idiot.

This is genuinely the only reasonable sovereignnty guarantee in the current geopolitical climate. We haven't had a nuclear deterrent since the 80s, time to reaquire it. That's just dreaming though, Canada simply lacks decisive leadership under any part, at least that's the evidence of the last 30 years or so.

Oh my god, they wouldn't consider genocide would they?!
