Why spend 1% at defense when you can spend 2% at offense?

Why spend 2% at offense when you can spend 3% at nothing of any use?
We almost made it to 2%. Why is it so hard for the liberal government to tax the rich more to get there and properly support our soldiers and Ukraine.
I just spent two and a half weeks in Alberta and I don’t know how many times people just randomly brought up Canada wasting money in Ukraine, and when asked about it they had nothing to say past ‘we should spend money on people that need it!’.
Fuck I hate that province.

Same…

I live in AB and the only person I’ve heard w/ that take was a Russian expat
It was a sentiment brought up randomly by about 5 of my younger brothers friends, who all grew up in the Sylvan Lake area.
Your younger brother has some dumb friends.
You should intervene and make sure he’s not listening to Ben Shapiro.
I take it you’ve never been to rural Alberta?
Lol
I guess the Ukraine population is going to be turned against conservatism even if they may agree to it. Family is more important to them than the culture war nonsense.

Because our country is like 3 monopolies in a trench coat…
And none of them are military industrial complex. Shame.
Do you really want a Motomaster tank?
Bombardier.
Money laundering/tax scheme in disguise…
Our MIC died with avro
We have plans to triple our budget in the next 5 or so years to… 1.7% we have really dropped the ball. Our forces are a joke. I’m still not sure the f-35s we bought can even operate in our artic, where we need them the most.
To be fair, given what happens when Canadians get violent it’s probably better for the rest of the world if we don’t spend more on our military. They’re dangerous enough already.
And I say this as someone who’s married to one of them.
Since you added “liberal”, do you think the Conservatives are going to increase taxes to the rich?
Bruh, you know NDP voters exist, right?
I do, I’m in NDP and Green country.
But in my experience they are much less likely to take any opportunity to jab with “liberal” or “Trudeau” every time it fits in a sentence. Unlike Poilievre who uses it like the high schooler they all act like.
Damnit… now i remember something i miss from reddit. Srgrafo comics were always a delight.
And for the meme crafters out there he has his own font (yucky r*ddit link)
If i am not mistaken he also had a lot of his memes stripped of text to make templates for others to use. All around cool dude, i just wish he’d finish making game artwork and start making more memes.
Doesn’t he draw lolicon now?
Pretty much. He got contracted out to do artwork for a visual novel. Full of lolis dressed very highly suggestive clothes or lack there of.
The sad thing is you’d see that “Chloe practice” stuff get worse over time, but it’d hit the front page anyways.
Uhh, I know he drew anime girls.
You can still go on Reddit, you know.
Shut up with your dirty lies! Reddit is as dead as Digg.

Now remember kids, Canada is responsible for half the Geneva convention. Do not trust Canada.
I think you’re talking about the Geneva Checklist there bud.
Canada and Poland best collaboration. Wish there was an American soldier that could make funny skids about their checklist
Geneva Bucket List!
Canada is responsible for half the Geneva convention.
I know two things about Canadians. They’re the nicest people I’ve ever met. Don’t go to war against them.
Don’t be our outlet for repressed violence.
Canada and Australia are just our friends, but England is like our parent. Well, I guess they’re also Australia’s parent, too which makes us siblings.
Hey, Australia: wanna wrestle?
Are Germany and Italy and Japan former intervention therapy clients then?
And France is an aunt?
Nationalism’s weird.
Russia is that uncle that used to be cool, started a cult, went kinda normal after his cult fell apart, but is now neck deep in a plot to destroy you and trying to get the cult going again.
… went kinda
normalbroke after his cult fell apart…Best off the cuff metaphor ever
Morocco is that weird friend who you fought against in middle school and youve been chill ever since.
Nah, I see England/UK as our ex, and it was a messy breakup.
You dated your mom?
IDK if you could call it dating. I moved out of the house, but she followed me so I had to get a restraining order. She didn’t like that, and it came to blows. We finalized things with a formal separation, but she kept getting involved in my business so I had to sue her, and then she seems to have finally gotten the message.
We’re on good terms now though, but it took some time for the wounds to heal.
It USED to be Britain, until they spit in our face by building a pair of diesel carriers, like cowards.
The nerve! Did we send a strongly worded letter with pictures of teabags held hostage above a body of water until they get their shit together?
Weren’t these subs supposed to be made for the French but we fucked them over and sent the bid to Australia? Still kinda bummed about that, especially if the French deploy in Ukraine. They’re great allies.
A little mixed up, there. The French were meant to have the contract to build nuclear powered subs for Australia, but the UK fucked the French by taking the contract, with some US help.
The creation of the partnership spelled the end of a French–Australian submarine deal. On 17 September 2021, France recalled its ambassadors from Australia and the US; French foreign minister Jean-Yves Le Drian called the partnership a “stab in the back”[10] following Australia’s cancellation of the deal worth €56 billion (A$90 billion) without notice,[11][12][13] ending recent efforts to develop a deeper strategic partnership between France and Australia.
they are after all britan, what do you expect
World’s largest arms dealer strongly encourages customers to spend more money on arms, particularly the kind only the US is capable of producing.
They could but that would mean getting a company to make a factory, get the resources and work force, and then make a quality product worth stockpiling. It’s cheaper to just buy ammo through the US…unless something non credible motivated them of course

Sir, this is NCD.

Non Credible Defense is a military satire/shitposting sub. It’s relevant, it’s just the opposite of the usual shitposty takes here.
Removed by mod
It means your original post was too well thought out. Too credible, if you will.
You can’t “overspend” on military. What even is this nonsense?
Removed by mod
Right, but a well thought out take like that here is like going to r/NoSleep and commenting how someone’s scary story couldn’t have actually happened because skinwalkers aren’t real.
An NCD take would be of course Australia wants to project power like America, you can never have too much defense budget and anything else is a waste of money
Ok I warned you. Goodbye
Basically what atocci said. We love military spending here. We simp for the MIC. This is not a forum for political debate.
Removed by mod
No more debate. You’ve sidetracked this thread enough as it is
Read the comments at this link. This is how you post here. Anything else and it’s honestly easier for me to just ban you rather than debating lol
Yes.

Also strategic positioning in Pacific / south asia
That’s 'cos Australia is a US state wannabe whereas Canada can think for itself
Australia has to be careful because they have to play a game between the US and China
Yeah, I understand. I’m a NZr, we have the same issue but with less resources
How standardized is the accounting anyway? Does the US Army Corps of engineers count as military spending? Because in most countries that budget would be categorized as civil infrastructure work and not be affiliated with the military in any way.
From what I hear it sure as hell ain’t spent on active duty dorms!
A big chunk of the US military’s budget is on very expensive US healthcare. Something like 7% of the military’s annual budget is health expenses, and that doesn’t even include the Department of Veterans Affairs, which provides health care to veterans.
POLSKA GUROM 3%
Who’s the one we like? Looks like they’ve got some kinda weird Alaska and Hawaii flag. Are they Hawaska? /s
