The *interesting* question is whether the European NATO countries will respond when Canada has to invoke article 5 when the Americans invade for a third time,

LOL.
Would that be about the quickest invasion in recorded history? Over by lunchtime?



NATO wasn't about to invade Russia. The Kremlin sees neighbours putting up better fences as a threat, but that's in their heads.

The best tactic for handling a paranoid psychopathic neighbor is to move away from them. The 2nd best tactic is to be quiet and not annoy them. I guess the 3rd best tactic would be to tell them that your big bad brother who lives a few thousand miles away has your back.

And, y'know, when he tells you to DON'T DO THAT, probably you should tip-toe around and not do that.

But, hey, I have had many people ask me how many rubles I get paid for what I post, so...whatever.



I read a wide range of opinion sites, some of them seem to have reasonable views of the world. One big thing that you must avoid -- and it is very hard to avoid -- is being all blindly rah-rah for your own team.

We all know that the political world is changing right now.
One that I read recently opined that what will shake out when things settle down will be the that world will resolve into 3 general spheres of influence headed by Russia, USA, and China.

This business in Ukraine with hypersonic missiles and swarms of drones surely has military organizations crapping their pants.
