B-Man Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) Other PM's join in............................ Vladimir Putin to leave G20 early after 'tense' meeting with David Cameron Vladimir Putin is set to leave the G20 summit early after a tense meeting with David Cameron over Moscow's actions in Ukraine. The Russian president is reportedly planning to leave the summit early on Sunday and miss its official lunch in response to repeated criticism from western leaders. The move comes after Tony Abbott, the Australian Prime Minister, threatened to "shirt front" Mr Putin - a form of physical confrontation. Stephen Harper, the Canadian Prime Minister, told Mr Putin: "I guess I'll shake your hand, but I'll only have one thing to say to you - get out of the Ukraine." Mr Cameron told Mr Putin that he is at a "crossroads" and could face further sanctions after the pair held "robust" discussions on Ukraine http://www.telegraph...id-Cameron.html Edited November 16, 2014 by B-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCinBuffalo Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Hmmm. I suppose we should archive this thread. (Oh don't worry, you know I will) This way, when and if we elect a president with balls, and said president does something ballsy, we can have it on standby. Why? Because IIRC, we have been lectured by many in Canada(I have been personally lectured largely at many, inappropriate times, even at work, by Canadians), and Europe, and anyone else who seeks to aggrandize themselves by randomly including us/our president in monologues/debates in their own country, about our reckless, "unenlightended" ways, (otherwise known as being "ballsy", in the very context of this thread). This has been going on my entire life. We'll remember the standard: It's Ok to say "I'll shake your hand only to say get out of Ukraine"....but it's not OK to say "We want OBL dead or alive". The first thing is "ballsy". The second is: "cowboy". The question that the rest of the world needs to ask itself is: "Why don't you like this American foreign policy approach? After all, Obama and his approach is precisely what you've been calling for for all of YOUR lives. Well, the rest of the world...minus Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, Iraq(ahem, the Axis of Evil...how's that look now? More evil? Or more "grey"?), etc. OMG! The bad governments America has been fighting/opposing for decades at a significant cost in lives/$...do bad things when the American President implements Canada/Europe's "plan"(the French have a word for this: retreat) instead of carrying on the fight? Shocker! And then? When the "American Imperium" has finally been abridged per the "plan", and it's time for Europe to start expending their lives/$ due to a problem that is happening a day's train ride away from them? Europe pussies out. We are left with Canada's and Austrailia's PMs doing their best Reagan impressions, as the only real, public resistance to evil, not grey, evil. Pussying out. That is the reality. That is the "plan". That is who these people are. Americans aren't these people, and never will be, that's precisely what makes us Americans, and by definition, exceptional. Well, normally. When we get rid of the Clown-in-Chief and his circus? Expect us. More reality: What are Canada and Austrailia going to do besides be "ballsy"? Best case? They will do what they can: send at most a brigade, slight chance of a division, of light infantry, and some medical supplies, food, etc. And while that is noble, WTF is that going to do against the 10 Russian divisions currently in theatre, that include armor, air and artillery support? Nothing, other than get them killed, which is why they won't be sent. And, btw, how will they get there? I know: Air Canada! It's not like the Russians haven't already shot down civlian transport or anything. Hey, sorry dudes, but don't look to America to do anything. After all, we're too busy deferring to the UN, gutting our military, and "building support amongst the nations of the world". We've been at it for 6 years, we'll let you know when we are done. Don't forget: we already reset the relations with Russia, and that was a quite an accomplishment for Hillary Clinton...see we have this button, and how it works is...well, it's just good old American ingenuity. The truth is: We're too stupid to know how it works. The Smarter People(the left) in Canada and Europe understand it perfectly however. Look: the European/Canadian/Austrailian left aren't the biggest fools here. That title goes to the Ukranians themselves. They listened to the "plan", and relinquished their nukes. Those nukes would have kept them safe. Instead, everybody in the world promised to keep them safe from Russia. Turns out we all lied. How about some bumper sticker logic? "Clinton/Obama lied. Ukranians died." Or, how about a T-shirt? "Europe: Losing the battle for freedom since 1938" As I said: remember this thread. Because I assure you all, I won't forget it.

That's how I know he must be pretty good. He's good but does a lot of stuff over the years that I was against. TBH, I just liked his finance minister who actually managed to balance the budget. His social policies I disagree with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly I know very little of Canadian politics since I've been in the states for 14 years. This is more of an instinctive thing. If semi radical liberals have disdain for anything or anyone I'm probably going to have the opposite feelings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
