Makes me wonder if the Mullahs are trying to save their asses by baiting Israel or the US into attacking them, in order to galvanize the people towards a foreign enemy.

Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but it's an interesting article.

This “unannounced preparedness exercise” may be just that – a readiness drill. But there are a few things that ring some warning bells for me:

  • A “drill” of this magnitude hasn’t happened since 1975 at the height of the Cold War

  • It’s occurring on the heels of two other warnings of looming war or crises

  • And keep in mind that the war preparedness book that was recently sent out mentioned the possibility of re-establishing conscription (the draft), too.

Brit: Trump shouldn't punish Canada for our 1812 glory

 

He reportedly asked: "Didn't you guys burn down the White House?"

 

Doh. You don't need me to tell you that those "guys" were in fact British troops setting about the time-honored tradition of trashing anything we could not hold.

Canada is a commonwealth country though, no?

“President Trump plans to confront other world leaders at a summit in Quebec on Friday over what he believes is a global economic system tilted against the United States, several people briefed on the plan said, escalating tensions with U.S. allies who have expressed outrage at his pivot toward protectionism.”)

Putin must be proud

Not in 1812.  Back then, it was a British territory.  Canada wasn't an independent until 1862, and didn't gain full legal independence until 1984.

 

It's not incorrect to say "Canadians" burned the White House, since they were all just Limeys.  Stupid, but not incorrect.

somehow you are a few years off with both 1862 and 1984, but mostly correct.

Yes.  Canada is a commonwealth of England.

 

 Think Canada is a US holding, but we licensed it back to the UK, no?

Canada isn't really a country, a commonwealth, or a holding.  If anything the UN should classify Canada as America's Hat
