Like the 17 year old who killed two people recently. His two million dollar bail was just posted.
Much of the media reporting has gone silent due to the pandemic...strife is still occurring in many of those places mentioned-not much has changed.
Russian assets have been challenging US assets almost daily over neutral airspace. Putin and Trump have some sort of odd relationship. Russia has it's fingers in almost as many places as the US has.
Israel and Palestine actually have been exchanging rocket fire for months....Israel launched an air assault just the other day.
North Korea is busy doing what they want-they think Trump is nuts, I think Kim Jong-un sees a kindred spirit in Trump.
There's almost nothing left in Syria to fight over...it's a wreck and many of their population have become refugees-they have fled all over the globe. ISIS was using Syria as a base and established a strong foothold in the middle east-yes, we needed to be there
The Taliban have just launched a mortar attack on a subdivision and they are embedded and going nowhere. Nothing will change in Afghanistan as it has been a crap hole for a hundred years+. At the time, Al-Qaeda and the Taliban were linked and providing training to terrorist cells...the interjection of NATO eliminated their ability to conduct global terrorist operations-yes we should have been there...
To add to your list-China has stepped up it's operations and is becoming more of a global threat-that needs to be addressed, they will rise as the world dominating super power before long if not already.
Pakistan and India are doing quite a bit of saber-rattling towards each other-both are Nuke countries and probably ready to use them.
Turkey is using US absences in Syria to do real damage-the US kept them in check but now that the US is out of there Turkey is doing whatever it wants with the support of Russia.
As for tariffs-on you closest neighbor and ally....not the best thing to be doing...Trump trying to run a country like a business just wasn't going to work. We all saw how he ran his businesses...
The world is watching what is unfolding within the US and sadly the reputation of the US is at stake-does Trump care about this-not one bit I'd say. In my opinion, it will be a real challenging task for the US to influence any other country in the unforeseeable future over this.
Tariffs on your neighbor and ally?
How about a 270% tariff from Canada on a neighbor who protects their country at great costs?

That is the problem with the Democrats, take as much as you can and bite the hand which feeds you.

Good he should of never been charged.
Who'd a thunk there'd be this sort of price on milk and dairy products...crazy...and not right to do that....Tariffs on your neighbor and ally?

I don't care for our current Liberal (democrat) government myself...
...and the US don't protect us and any cost....geography protects both the US and Canada...

Actually it is a lot more than your geography. It is a long-standing partnership with the US bearing most of the capital outlay costs.
LOL geography?

He should let himself get shot or beat to death?? When should he defend himself? I agree the police should of been out there doing their jobs. And not letting a city burn.
Who's going to invade our countries?? They'd run out of logistic support long before they ever got near anything important. There was talk of the US wanting us to bolster up our northern defense but all one has to do is look at a topography map and see nobody in their right mind would initiate any sort of sea-borne ground assault from there even an airborne assault wouldn't get too far...geography can be very strategic and tactical.Actually it is a lot more than your geography. It is a long-standing partnership with the US baring most of the capital outlay costs.

Canada pays it's own way, we aren't beholden to the US, we spend billions on this partnership.
...but this is only 33 yrs of service talking, a few years of which was in our higher headquarters.
They don’t do tanks any longer, missiles and drones can reach you pretty quick, without logistic support.
From your geography which protects you, to spending billions on a partnership. You have no idea of the size of the US military compared to Canada, jointly protection the entire North America.
Again, this is why you are so pleased to see Trump’s departure.

I've served with several US units both domestically and abroad...I'm well aware of the size of the US military.
We do have an Air Force you know and a good Air Force-it's not big but our pilots are world class.
I certainly won't get into a d1ck measuring contest over our militaries as I was a proud and loyal Canadian soldier who was proud to serve alongside our allies including the US troops I've had the pleasure to serve with.
All that being said, I am still not a Trump supporter..I would support being a republican (conservative) but not a Trumpet.
On your last paragraph, we are on the same page.

As I have said here or on another thread, you can be a Republican or Democrat supporter and that's Ok to vote either way. But to vote for Trump is less about politics and policy and more about ideals and beliefs. And both the ideals and beliefs are toxic and worrying.
I am of the opinion that the admins should close this thread as it's like beating a dead horse. Same conversations, same "Us Vs Them" rhetoric as all the other threads on this site when it comes to politics. Round and round in circles.
And of your addition (which I didn't see until now) makes us on the same page there as well.
The Liberals (democrats) here have decimated our military by cutting funding to almost nothing for years and years...when our Conservatives (republicans) get into power, it takes their full term to try and get spending back on queue. Made me sick to see the budget cutting happening under the conservatives-people died as a result of those cuts.
If we go 'round and 'round too much we start to throw up like now....
Ask Cap to shut it down if you have a mind to.
Long time ago, If I remember correctly, there was a debate about shutting down the politics thread. But somehow it survived. We are all Busa bro’s here, I think. So if a healthy debate is not your thing, enjoy the rest of the site about Busas and avoid Politics. It’s all good and let’s face it, Politics in the US is a mess.
From every account I’ve read the first shot was unprovoked. People chased him because of it.

LOL... I'm all for a healthy debate.. It just seems we have 2 or 3 threads along the same lines and all going over the same stuff. I often forget which one Im reading sometimes..
I think though, I may take your advice for today and go wash the Busa. Bug splatter from yesterday looks like cat vomit.

I can't stand all these political threads but as that is what mostly appears as new i find myself reading them. Now I will say nothing is impossible and I'm a firm believer in that but when has anyone ever seen a cop much less multiple stop to clean up some bricks because they were a hazard on the sidewalk?? In this day and age it's always pass the buck to the next guy and make him do the work and at least around where I live at most even if called in to police station they would tell you to contact the road maintenance dept. and if your lucky they might give you the number if you asked. As far as mysterious bricks appearing im sure some were in place for work but I can also tell you that I personally seen a couple pallets "appear" on route of a planned march just outside of Detroit in what is known as a very racist city. I drive the route everyday and the evening before there was nothing and the next morning they were there. Now who put them there i won't even speculate as it could have been anyone but I do know there was no construction in that immediate area that required bricks. Of course it wasn't an issue as I was actually driving right behind the march about 3 cars behind the police escort and it was all peaceful. Now wether it was the police, democrats, Republicans, antifa, a construction company or anyone else that may have put them there the fact is if they were put there to try and incite violence there is not much likelihood we would hear who did it and if we did who's to say it would be the truth because of your trying to do something your not supposed to be the goal is to hide it and not get caught and even with all the cameras and technology is still possible to get away with stuff especially if you're the group that controls most of what's let out to the public.However, Northeastern University police released a series of tweets on June 2 saying their officers were the people seen in the video. According to the department, the officers found a damaged brick sidewalk while on patrol on June 1 and collected the loose bricks because they posed a safety hazard.
Any comments?
People Say Pallets Of Bricks Are Showing Up Near Protests All Over The US. The Truth Is More Complicated.
As of now, there's no evidence to support claims of coordinated brick placements at protests.www.buzzfeednews.com
