Canada considers canning diesels, buying nukes - Page 2

I am sure the USA would sell you a few.

One question...Why British nukes?
What you can take our free defense but you can't buy our subs? (via our majority stake in the UN, financially and militarily)

We got plenty, the only thing we export is military goods anymore, buy it darnit! Otherwise we will have to work for 7$ an hour and be happy we are getting that much.

Makes me want to defund the UN and see how the world truly fares then.

Depends how many they want. I'm sure that there are plenty of Los Angeles class submarines that are about to be or have been decommissioned that Canada could purchase from us if they can't get a hold of the T class boats.

After the sorry tale of those Upholders, I don't think the Canadians will be buying anything Brit for a long time...

I suspect you may be right but Canada has maintained that 'special' relationship for a long time.

Time for a bidding war with the US......(Canada) "How much are each of you prepared to pay us for each boat we take"?

Hmm well a few things spring to mind

..

-1. Canada is still a Commonwealth nation that shares close ties with the UK.
-2. Our CinC is still technically the Queen..

Also, what "free defence"? Last I saw the UK, France, Russia and China both hold similar powers as the US in the UN (veto power....)

Yes sir, veto power.

What about manpower, materiels and money? You know the US got 700 plus military bases worldwide? With the worst healthcare system in the world.

Funny really. We care more for Iraquis, and Libyans than our own people. Millions a day into a litter box while our own starves. Can save alot of money on the 700 billion military budget if we cut the UN off. Less manpower needed, less tanks. Close all our bases in Europe and Asia, turn a few aircraft carriers into reefs...It's someone elses turn now..

I want to emulate Woodrow Wilson pre WW1 and be pure isolationist.

Besides,I thought you guys liked us. Homer Simpson said it best when he told us that Canada was Americas hat.

I'm so cold without you guys!
