Trump has said at basically every opportunity that a big part of this is the oil, it's no secret lol. It's not 2003 anymore

JTF2 is one of the few things Canada is actually really good at, easily the equal of the US, obviously not enough of them to win but they would give the US a bloody nose

You can lol at the suggestion to capture trump, but to laugh at JTF2 is absurd. They are a tier 1 unit and equal to any of their peers at SAS, Delta Force etc.

Their entire schtick is to laugh at Canada and point out flaws. It’s tired and boring. Just ignore it.

Shut the fcuk up.

JTF2 is a respected and top tier group.

It can and does hold it's own when measured against any other Nation's SF.

Further, standard Canadian grunts out score their NATO counterparts time and time again in competitions.

Try to be less of an a$$hole

Whether JTF2 could do it or not we definitely shouldn't be kidnapping/killing the leaders of other countries.

Especially in the case of the US (even though they do that stuff) because if we did they'd immediately use that as an excuse to invade.

I was reading an article on Canada's role in Afghanistan several years ago and their partnership with the US (wish I could find this article again)... apparently the US had to tell JTF-2 to ease up and slow down a bit, they were too damn effective at their assignments. Same article quoted members of Delta Force (or one of those American spec ops groups) saying if they had to pick one other foreign unit to go into battle alongside, it would only be JTF-2 - high praise for sure. JTF-2 is one of the most elite special ops forces in the world.

He is the Tywin Lannister of our generation and the true danger in the administration IMO. The worst part is he's only 40 and has a full life (finger's not crossed) ahead of him.

We need Bruce Willis to recover so he can come back and finish him.

That is a good comparison. He also looks like a hatching pod person from Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

It's so great trump got rid of that dictator in power!

Nah, just someone willing to give them the keys to old fields and rare earth minerals for a chance to lead.
