@mike69 said@mike69,
Are you kidding me canada pays under 1.5 % and you around 2 and lying about more, your sinking with starmer.
Follow the news closer Canada has reached it's 2%. You don't follow the news do you? You have to have your Facts straight if you want to engage in a conversation.
Yes, Canada officially achieved the NATO target of spending 2% of its GDP on military defense in the 2025–26 fiscal year. Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed this milestone in March 2026, driven by an investment of over $63 billion in defense to modernize the Canadian Armed Forces, ahead of previous schedules.
Be respectful if you can manage it @mike69, and spell Canada with an upper case "C", Thank you!

@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidHopefully youre not part of Russia by then, or your leaders could actually start paying and doing their part of nato and we could all be be equal allies. I think you will all start paying your part and actually doing your part instead of ripping us off in the end which is trumps goal. Can you see any bigger pictures going on with everything or is this tiny snapshot all you see?
You've backed a lame duck Mike.
Time will show you this.
@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidThat’s what you should do running man.
Honestly Mike, you should be riddled with shame and regret and be cowering in a corner somewhere...

@Very-Rusty saidPut the link up, you do realize it’s 5% I just noticed you said march 2026, let me know when you actually start paying it, like the uk saying they did but won’t start till 2030 in increments over years.

You said we were not paying 1.5%, you are as confused as your Orange faced wanna be dictator. We will not reach 5% for a while, but have come a very long way. We have the Rest of the Allies behind us, more than I can say for you my old friend.
Wake up!!!

@Very-Rusty saidYou will never reach 5%, you lie and say you will start by 2035. In 2025 you were at 1.3%, are you saying Canada hasn’t been screwing us over all these years and continue while you take advantage of you neighbor thinking we should smile and say thank you?

@Very-Rusty saidDid you notice that the SCOTUS argument for the side of free-citizenship was made by a Chinee?!?
The favorite of mine is his DUNCE hat he wears out in Public. He opens his mouth, you can be assured there is a lie coming out of it. If he had Iran's military defeated why are they still shooting down American Planes? Hopefully both Pilots that bailed will be ok. He had no balls to go to war but doesn't mind others doing the fighting for him. He is a COWARD, not even a debate.

Ironic.

We also have something you don't have is Allies who would back us up, unfortunately your President has burned down those bridges, and is finding himself on his own.
I bet your happy to have a convicted convict as you President! Look at how much he has done for your Country, alienated most of his Allies. What a wonderful man, I am sure he will be remembered as he deserves to be remembered. 😉

@Pianoman1 saidApparently those Stone Age folks with no anti-aircraft (according to Trump and Hegseth) shot down two US planes today.
Is there no limit to this man’s obnoxiousness. He is an affront to the human race.
To quote another fireheaded, although highly personable, American: YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!
@mike69 said"Screw us over".
Not much of an alliance when you screw us over and over for how many years now while lying and saying someday you will do your actual part? Answer vr questions I asked since you seem to have all the answers.
How so?
How many NATO Alliance countries answered W's call to go into Iraq?
It was a pretty big deal at the time.
@Very-Rusty saidWith allies like all of you who needs enemies. How will life in your countries change with no handouts and pretty much free protection. Will you still be able to offer all your liberal handouts and nice quality of living. A lot of you have let your military’s deteriorate, look at you and the uk, what the hell have you been putting your military budget on??? Poland is strong in Europe but not many.

Show some freaking respect for people not like you (even if you have to pretend).
