    Why cant more countries be like Canada? if the US spent half of the money they spend on their military on soft power and bettering all of humanity, they’d be so much farther ahead.

      so… you want everyone to be dropping white phosphorus on civilian populations? and you want everyone to torture kids and deprive people of basic human decency? cause those things are on the Geneva Convention list due to Canadians going above and beyond to be as brutal as possible. roughly 70% of the Geneva convention’s war crime list was created to stop Canadian military actions targeting civilians. (most of the rest of the list is thanks to Nazi Germany and America)

        Oh. I was not aware Canada did that. Well. Seems I mispoke. First time being disappointed in Canada, frankly. Kind of shocking.
