What do we actually gain by severing ties with them?
Mostly symbolic given we have virtually no economic relations with them already due to UN Sanctions.

Hard to know how Russia plays into this but we could only hope that someone can rise up to oppose the Israeli's and US attack dogs, which right now are freely pilaging, looting, and killing people all over the middle east. | ||

The Canadian government truly does unconditionally support Israel, which is shocking, since most Canadians can't even find it on the map. Painfully the same thing can be said for Americans lol | ||

Believe it or not, Canada, the United States and Israel are democracies and your conspircy theories are the most anti-intellectual ideas possible. You blame small groups of conspirators who have the magic ability to hijack democracies when it has alwyas been the popular ideas of the people that has decided the fate of countries. Central banks exist because people think they work and even if they are technically private, it is undeniable that they are controlled by government. The USD is doomed (which you probably don't realize) because of the actions of the Federal Reserve and which is controlled by government which is controlled by voters who vote based on their ideas. It is those ideas that matter, not your imaginary conspiracy theories. | ||

The USD is doomed (which you probably don't realize) because of the actions of the Federal Reserve and which is controlled by government which is controlled by voters who vote based on their ideas. It is those ideas that matter, not your imaginary conspiracy theories. I don't think you understand how a republic works and that throughout the years the imperfect system of voting has been abused time and time again, now to argue that a "conspiracy" exists without backing proof is about as naive and stupid as arguing that they don't exist or at least are non-likely based off personal assumptions. To go into more detail, I would say that one could connect a few dots here and there over the years and argue that conspiracies "The action of plotting or conspiring" have not only happened on multiple occasions, but are happening frequently. If I want that promotion I may conspire to undermine my colleague in an attempt to elevate my position, a company may conspire with other companies to corner the market and remove a specific organization and a country may conspire with another country to hit an end goal that another country may find unjust or plain wrong and yet they do it everyday. "Small groups of conspirators" When has a large group of conspirators ever existed? Do you think Stalin when he was overthrowing his superiors conspired with the public, or Hitler with his public with regards to conspiring against millions of jews? Conspiracies are always small groups with big plans that play off the naive and they've happened since before Caesar whispered "Et tu, Brutus" (or so the lore goes) "by government which is controlled by voters who vote based on their ideas." Arguably this is a false assumption, what if we have 2 candidates to vote for and we're forced to vote, if our candidates are Hitler and Stalin (used in a previous example, might as well carry it) then when they kill millions of people, was it the people who decided those deaths? Arguably yes yet they were elected to power because of power and propaganda... I doubt many average joes who voted for Hitler's party assumed he'd attempt to exterminate an entire race of people, so it's their fault for not having that assumption! It is the duty of the public to be informed because at any moment great evil can take stride as it has for thousands of years. The government may be chosen by the people, but the actions of the government are not always of the people and when this occurs it is the duty of the people to either take back control of the government or overthrow it entirely but in today's world that is a near impossibility so we're stuck between choosing the white cat and the black cat (someone might get that reference ^^) So to end, I would say that countries and organizations conspire on an everyday basis, does this "illuminati" exist? Possibly, it is not an impossibility with today's technological advances that a small group with enough resources could control the way nations shift between power but I would not place any stone into it because frankly I am not versed enough in the debate. So to reiterate my original point, one that has been bugging me when people blankly say "trooferism" or say tin foil hat wearers, you are naive and stupid if either you believe in something with no proof or completely negate something because of common opinion. | ||

Israel does a decent job defending it's borders while America half-assedly fights to bring democracy to people who don't want it and makes excuses for the murderers of soldiers who were disarmed in front of alleged allies for the sake of political corectness. The only thing America is doing wrong is sacrificing itself to it's enemies and failing to stand up for itself. Point me towards all this unreserved pillaging and looting. All I've noticed is a huge waste of lives and money for zero material gain (as anti-Americans like to allege is the purpose of these wars). | ||

I am no expert so I just call them turrets, its the ones they use on top of vehicles, the machine guns. | ||

Honestly Israel has been threatening Iran long enough for their threats to be as credible as North Korea's war threats to the south so I don't think a war is going to happen anytime soon. Also it is election year so every politician acts tough this year in order to gain votes. | ||

It's quite alright, turrets do just fine with that explanation hahaha (Also the type of mounted weapon may change and vary depending on vehicle class so it's not a big deal again that you used "turret) It will not be as interesting as some people seem to think, Albert Einstein was a smart man and I would put my money behind his wit when he said that WW4 would be fought with sticks and stones. | ||

Did Iran do something recently to spark this? Is the jury back regarding Iran's nuclear intentions? Could be completely unrelated to both of the things you just said. Similar to Sweden (you may hear some backlash about this but it is frankly true and can be proven through case studies) US says "jump" and we kindly oblige. The last real premier to push back hard enough to make noise was during the Cold War but staying away from the history lesson it is election year, Canada is just simply getting back in bed with the US showing that they'll follow them. | ||
