If u. s. is such an "aggressive violent bully" why was Canada not scared we can take oil, all these years and decades?

[strateguy632]

The fact is Canada army and air force is each tiny. despite a major source of oil. top ten. not scared we would steal oil with our massive military.

Canada has Around 150 helicopters of 350 total and just 50 operational fighter jets. tiny air force. and until now got from us. nearly half of military 'air force' is helicopters! 3/7. but if our wars showed our character as aggressive and bully... and we made war for OIL -the popular claim about iraq wars since 1991. then...

why was Canada not scared all these years, to protect its huge shared border from us with radar and many tanks? just a few tanks -it only has 50 tanks!

for a huge border it is so weak it ranks 78 of 145 countries.

it only ranks high in jets due to 109 of 145 country each have less than 50 fighters!

not a massive air force for fear we can steal oil like we 'did' to iraq?

is it because we are not really agressive? and not really trying to steal oil? maybe our wars in iran (and iraq) were a reply specificly for iran (their) violence?

Piss on Canada. They were a big help in WWII but has since become a very weak pacifist drain on NATO

[strateguy632]

Canada leader announced they will spend the 2% for nato on local industry! But they don't have war industry?
3 billion $ for nato' artilery shells?

This BULLSHIT with Canada is the US trying to get a fair deal. Someone woke up and is trying to get a better deal for Americans after decades of one-sided deals. Canada, the mouse that roared.

Canada is just the US's little brother. Every once in a while they try to square up on us. But they wholly benefit from our protection and economy.
