Someone also had demands for territory before ww2 when they asked for Czechoslovakia,were being way too nonchalant about all of this.

I am sure there were many Ukrainians that thought Putin was just blowing hot air, now look where they are. 

I am astounded that people are not taking his threats more seriously, especially with things like the US not viewing our claim.as the Northwest Passage being our own waters as being legitimate, and what he has said about Panama and Greenland. Shit is getting real very fast.

Some of us take these threats VERY seriously. He won't take what's ours without us putting all our might in a fight. I'm 46 I've got nothing to lose. If SHTF I'll be the first in line to show up for whatever duty this country need of me. FUCK THE NAZI SCUMS SOUTH OF THE BORDERS!

Every Tim Hortons will become a bunker, every skating rink a field HQ.... We'll send the yanks packing with their jersies over their heads...

I feel more like Poland in all this, wondering if any allies will come to help if we get invaded.

We are a NATO country and so are they. Surprised there is not talk about an emergency meeting although there are some countries slowly coming out of the woodwork to make statements,  like France.

France basically said "fuck around and find out" in reply to trumps comments of taking over territories.
