That's good, let them start a war and I hope against hope we will let them fight it out.

The only European country to provide support to the USA In the Civil War was Russia. They sent warships to New York and San Francisco. They stayed for 7 months. Think about it. In the last 200 years the only country to come to the aid of the USA was Russia. Not France, not Britain, not Canada, only Russia.

Before some falls in with France helping out in our revolution, remember there was the equivalent of a world war going on then and Britain was their enemy.

In one of our fracases in the mid-east France would not allow our planes to cross their territory, but I don't blame them for that.

The American Civil War (1861–65) was fought between the northern (Union) states and the southern (Confederate) states, which withdrew from the United States in 1860–61. The war left cities in ruins, shattered families and took the lives of an estimated 750,000 Americans. The war also involved those living in what is now Canada, including roughly 40,000 who joined the fight. The war played a significant role in how and when Canada became an independent country.

There were soldiers who emigrated from lots of foreign countries in the Yankee army but their countries of origin did not provide their military to aid the U.S.

Despite Anglo-American animosity, tens of thousands of Canadians crossed the border to fight in the conflict. Exact numbers are impossible to determine,6 but conventional estimates suggest that somewhere between 35,000 and 50,000 Canadians bore arms in the American Civil War, the vast majority donning Union blue.

Fix your own tyrannical goverment. Stop whining about the USA and get Justin's whanker out of your mouth.

And quit putting milk in bags.

Thanks.

Clean up your own mess. Trudeau's government has little on the Biden administration.

"Think about it. In the last 200 years the only country to come to the aid of the USA was Russia. Not France, not Britain, not Canada, only Russia."

Really? Britain and Canada didn't help the USA in WWI or WWII? They aren't part of NATO etc.? They didn't send troops to Afghanistan? I think the Brits sent troops to Iraq.

The USA is a huge country, population wise, compared to Canada and even Britain. The USA has carried a heavier load as they are a SUPER POWER. That being said, all NATO members, including Canada, must comply and spend 2% GDP on their military.

You might ought to rethink your thinking. WW1, WW2, and NATO weren't and aren't for the aid and protection of the USA. The USA should have never gone over there to pull Britain and France's asses out of the fire at huge cost to our treasury. Whatever they've done or haven't done in the mid-east wasn't to protect the USA. Of course we have been in joint military operations for instance Korea, and Vietnam. That doesn't count for direct military assistance to protect our country.

It makes me sick when I think of all the families in the U.S. that suffered death and trauma as did my parent's and grand parent's generations over those damned European and Asian conflicts that didn't help a thing. Shortly after the two world wars were over half the world's populations were in brutal communist dictatorships.

Now we are thirty some TRILLION PLUS dollars in debt with nothing to show for it. Go back to the Canada forum and commune with that idiot Steve Redgwell.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a law on April 2 that lowers the Ukrainian military’s mobilization age from 27 to 25 years of age.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu claimed on April 2 that Russian forces seized about 400 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory in the first three months of 2024 — a rate of advance not necessarily reflective of wider Russian offensive prospects due to the impact of US security assistance delays.
Ukraine conducted long-range unidentified unmanned aerial systems (UAS) strikes against Russian military production and oil refinery infrastructure in the Republic of Tatarstan, over 1,200 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s address at the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) board meeting on April 2 illustrated Russia’s dissonant response to the March 22 Crocus City Hall terrorist attack as Russian authorities simultaneously pursue law enforcement actions against migrant communities while also baselessly implicating Ukraine. Putin also attempted to address intensified debates about migration that have emerged following the Crocus City Hall attack but continued to express an inconsistent and vague stance on the issue.
Ukrainian Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) Deputy Chief Major General Vadym Skibitskyi stated on April 2 that the GUR believes that Russian forces will likely temporarily pause strikes against Ukrainian energy infrastructure in order to replenish low missile stockpiles.
US sanctions against Russia continue to impact Russian financial ties to post-Soviet countries, as Kyrgyzstan’s national payment system Elkart announced on April 2 that it would stop processing transactions using the Russian “Mir” payment system to prevent secondary sanctions.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg reportedly proposed a NATO aid package that would send $100 billion of military assistance to Ukraine over five years.
Russian forces recently made confirmed advances near Kreminna and Avdiivka amid continued positional engagements along the entire line of contact on April 2.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu stated on April 2 that the Russian military intends to finish and deploy several newly constructed small missile and patrol ships in 2024.
The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) is increasing its law enforcement presence in occupied Ukraine in order to intensify Russian control over Ukrainian civilians and strengthen security over critical infrastructure.
