Maybe if you treat "Canada as a national security treat" as a posture during trade negotiations, it might not be such a hard argument.

lamarpye··on CDC director warns that Congo's Ebola outbreak may not be containable
Every single person in the caravan has expressed their intention to follow a fully legal process for applying for asylum? That is good to know, I guess there isn't any chance that they are lying or they don't understand the asylum process.

Thank you for not adding to the false information being pushed by people with money.

Sure. We have a huge shortage of unskilled labor in the US, if this shortage isn't addressed, it might put upward pressure on wages for unskilled workers. We can not allow this to happen to the ownership class
lamarpye··on China used Huawei to hack network, says report
Serious question, are you just hand waving the Cultural Revolution away or have you never heard of it?

Maybe it's like a C and a program stack, they just don't teach it in college anymore, because it's not important and you don't need to know about it.

Sure. Halfway. The proof is so obvious, no need to mention it.
lamarpye··on Uniqlo cut 90% of staff at one warehouse by replacing them with robots
Not really. The US followed certain rules of engagement in Iraq and Afghanistan that a truly ruthless military would not.

For example the Battle of Fallujah was fought with Vietnam level tactics. There were about 100 KIA for the US side. The battle could have been fought differently with zero US losses.

The increasing size of the unskilled labor pool? Could that be it?

Actually, don't really see how that is relevant to this particular example.

I don't see that much sadness in this. These people aren't zoo animals. They want to enjoy modern life and the things that come from it. Things like rights for women.

I have meet people that believe Obama knew how to do it.
lamarpye··on The US has spent $1.5 trillion on war since Sept 11 attacks
Not following your logic, Obama gave ISIS fertile soil to grow by removing American troops from Iraq, which seems the opposite of a Pax America policy.

I also don't understand how fighting ISIS made it worse.

Other than the song "Imagine", when has it been in fashion?

Polls of older people in Vietnam might reflect some survivor bias. The communists weren't very gentle to regime opponents.

Apparently they weren't gentle to ethnic Chinese either, I have met many that were forced to flee in boats to avoid pogroms.
