It Begins: Canada To Send Military Equipment To Ukraine

Tyler Durden's picture




 

And so it begins.

Moments ago Bloomberg reported, citing Defense minister Rob Nicholson speaking in Trenton, Ontario, that Canada, a NATO member, will send military equipment to Ukraine. Ukraine will in turn supposedly use supplies to protect eastern border Nicholson speaking to reporters, although perhaps one should ask ISIS where US military equipment that was meant for Al-Qaeda, pardon, Syrian rebels to dethrone Assad ended up...

To be sure this expansion is purely symbolic however the first formal entrance of a NATO member into the Ukraine conflict will assure it only escalates from here.

What happens next is anyone's guess, however with this formal expansion of the "regional" proxy war to include western powers, thereby making the new Cold War quite warm, Putin will certainly take an appropriate response seeing what was until now a confined civil war involving "only" Ukraine participants, if only on paper, expand into global. Keep in mind that while Putin may well have been supporting the east Ukraine rebels, there was never any formal admission of this. Now that brand new NATO forces will be effectively on the Russian borders, the Kremlin may have just the pretext it needed to justify its military expansion into a conflict which it will claim is merely for self-preservation against clear NATO involvement and expansion, i.e., "defensive."

Furthemore, since Canada is now involved, expect other NATO member countries to also jump in, thus provoking the Russian bear that much more and leading to a sequence of events that will hardly be pleasant for anyone.

Fukkin harper and baird ably helping world war 3 along. Good news, the increasingly withering ranks of the ukrainian armed forces ( and more likely the irregular militia ) will have all the ballistic jean jackets and battle canoes they can handle.

Which means that Obama will merely turn the switch to the 'off' position & screw over Canada.

As Obama and Media Relations Director Clive Leonard walked away from reporters, the Fox newsfeed clearly picked up the conversation.

LEONARD: “The Prime Minister is requesting a 15-minute meeting Mr. President.”
OBAMA: “What’s with that guy?”
LEONARD: “Sir?” (coughs)
OBAMA: “He’s shifty…he’s never standing where his voice seems to be coming from.”
LEONARD: “Ummm…”
OBAMA: “And he’s a large lump isn’t he? All pudge and hair.

Not gonna happen I'm afraid. Canadian politics has become a shitty imitation of US red / blue deceit. Harper's fait accompli during the last elections and the attempt for suspending the parliement just before that, were only possible because of the cowardice of the opposition, which is no better than them. Both puppets of TPTB...

Let's pray enough people in the west wake up to this fact FAST!  As long as TPTB are able to hide behind "popular will", these men are the most dangerous in the world.  But their actions have now gone so far beyond what the average member of their countries thinks, they are playing with the disintegration of the western model of governance.  I only hope they collapse before pushing us into a planetary extinction event.

Same here, and nobody I know supports this either.  Harper is throwing away decades of good will between Cannada and Russia, and for what?   To pander to a few Saskatchewan farmers of Ukrainian descent?   If that's the case, then it's pure desperation because these guys are GONE in the next election no matter whose ass they kiss.

I didn't think Canada had any military equipment to spare, their air force only has something like 40 combat aircraft and their ground forces boast fewer than 200 MBT's and well under 1,500 missile launch systems and artillery pieces combined. they might want to keep what they halving seeing as they continue to insist on provoking Moscow.

against anti-coup population centers while Kiev labelled all who

opposed the coup as "terrorists" to be exterminated,

and rejected having any settlement negotiated.

Harper et al are warmongers for supporting unnecessary NATO expansion, missile bases, and potential for conflict.

Wait a dang minute! Isn't Canada the 51st state of the USSA? Or is it still just a "territory" like Puerto Rico?

You miss the subtle Canadian infantry strategy - with the blood red uniform you can't tell if you get a hit as long as they don't fall down.

They tie the privates to a post and yell "nyaah, nyaah, you missed" or "it's only a flesh-wound!"

Very frustrating and demoralising for the enemy snipers.  These tactics were inherited from the British red-coats.  The American revolutionaries couldn't hit them either (or so they thought).

Canada's current Conservative government is just a little further right-wing the Ghengis Khan. The Conservatives in Canada are a composition of neo-conservatives and an other political groups once known as the Reform Party who were neo-Nazi and composed of the ugliest bigots. The two parties merged, that was the "Progressive Conservatives and the Reform Party" to become the Conservative party over a decade ago. The Conservatives have assisted the Hell Angles in becoming a legal corporation and trade marked their logo in Canada. They have shown themselves to be extremely corrupt promoting views of intolerance and classic cronism. Canada is now a lap dog of the neo-conservative of the USA. In short Canada is a hapless far right country who's population that votes for these bozo's are American Conservative wannabes. Expect the current Prime Minister and his ilk to be pounding the drums of war in the Ukraine because its profitable!

That is absolute excrement.

Conservatives have moved to center left, that's why I stopped voting.

There is no right wing party in Canada.

There are only far left NDP, center left Liberal and centrist Conservatives with left intentions.

These insecure lunatics were elected with about 35% of the popular vote, their support today would be closer to 5-10% consisting entirely of Evangelical Anglican Zionists in the province of Alberta.  The RCMP  need to do their jobs and start arresting these lunatics.

+1 ding ding ding!!!!  most accurate description of Canada's socialist political "continuum" yet.  There is no right wing party in Canada and I don't think there ever has been....really.  Certainly nothing right of center.  And of course even definitions are questionable since Canada has ALWAYS been about the collective.  They give a fuck about the individual.  In fact Canada was one of the first to actually articulate "bail - in" legislation post Cypress - which ZH pointed out to us about a year ago or so.

So there you go.  A country that has no Constitution of its own run, zero protection of property rights (the word property does not even show up in the Bill of Rights) run by a shitload of entitlement seeking free lunch fuck tards.  I consider Harper's government a sort of Neo Fascist entity.  Facsist because of how religious their MP's tow their Party line because not one of them can speak or think for themselves.  And Neo - because they pretend to have some sort of soft spot for the pale and down trodden.  Its their way of bringing everybody to the middle and if you're one of thoese that benefit from Harper's crony policies - whats not to like?

 

As sanctions go up against Canada - look to short $CDN - and lets get Yen Cross to write to Harper and tell him where his stop will be.  My guess $0.92USD with a target price of $0.79 - $0.81 US.

haha, true story.

I was going overseas, long ago, and a guy from SC gave me a Velcro flag of his state. It has a gorget- the old crescent-moon shaped symbol of an officer or senior NCO, and a palmetto tree.

The Muslims I encountered assumed I was from some small Muslim country, since to them the two symbols look Arabic. Sine I speak some of their lingo, I am never bothered. Unlike in the land of the big wally-world, Muslims are quite aware many other Muslims are not  dark-skinned.

I have no problem with Muslims anyway. They never attacked my country (9/11 stooges not included). In my present location I have a Muslim assistant. They want nothing more than to make a living and take care of their families. I go to the mosque, eat in their homes, and they know up front I am Christian. I do not worship in the Mosque for obvious reasons, but one mosque has an English-speaking Imam who really knows the Koran. A lot of these terrists take the Hadiths and misconstrue them along with out-of-context Koranic verses to pervert the faith.

Now, I say this after many years living overseas with Muslim and Hindu culture, from Central Asia to Asia.

Honestly, the propaganda against Islam in the US is embarrassing.

Canada eh?  Well god and the queen know they sure hell ain't gonna use it.  Might as well dust it off once in a while.  I'm a Canadian living in the US and I can assure you the vast majority of Canadians want absolutely nothing to do with this conflict as is the case with Americans.  The fucking balls of these politicians to continue to throw our money and our property around to other nations is nothing short of criminal.  Fucking Canada is going to involve itself in a fucking war????  The world has lots its fucking marbles.  Never thought I'd see the bloody day.  Here's to a market top fellas.......  I'll fucking take it.

I say we in the US sit this one out, and let the smug, lecturing global Socialists, for whom we've provided military cover for decades, deal with the dirty work for once.

Your kind of military cover gets innocent people killed, but otherwise, yeah... we should stop depending on the US.  I suggest we sell our oil and gas to China from now on.  They can provide us with military equipment to protect our southern border from the coming influx of desperate refugees.
