We can fight, just would be fucking stupid to fight.


No, you cannot fight and haven't had that ability in sometime. The reality of Canada's situation is that you exist at the mercy of the U.S. defensive umbrella, and little else.

Yes we fucking can.

We can and will fight. We kicked loads of ass before. We still can.

We just don't want to. Because war is a terrible thing.

That would be an unfathomably dangerous and stupid plan, the Islamic State, Al-Qaeda, or the rebels would end up besieging the nuclear silos, ultimately either giving them a nuclear warhead or ending in the silo exploding and killing everyone in the area.

I need to defend it when this shit comes up.

Nukes ,when it comes to the nukes they would be under Russian control.

But another way Russia could get even would be to get involved in Yemen via military shipments. Arabia would not be too happy if that happened since that war has been dragging on.

Sounds like a waste of resources for little gain. Russia isn't the Soviet Union. Its resources are limited and its hands are full with the two conflicts its already involved itself in.

The best way for Russia to "get back" at the US, oh how sad it is when international relations is reduced to a teenaged spat, would be to win the civil war and keep Assad in charge.
