They are an independent nation. Heavily financed militarily I agree. But you might as well say Canada is as well by that criteria.
And if you don't think that we don't benefit from the USA paying for things I guess you have never heard of NORAD, or NATO.
Or shared intelligence, the bulk of which comes from USA sources.
You didn't actually address the things I said the USA pays for to secure Canada did you? How much has NORAD cost. Tens of billions. Look it up. And it's a binary treaty.
Let alone the extra burden they pay in Nato costs.
And who know how much free Intel they gather and share with us.
We are just as much a beneficiary and client for USA military protection as anyone. To think otherwise is to put your head in the sand.
Butler100%ExposedSo I said the USA pays more.
You just proved the USA pays more.
And by your own admission again. They do it for control.
Thanks for that!
You make shit up as you go and you have little to no clue of what you speak of, hence why your stories/opinions keep changing.
Let me say it again there is a difference between the United States giving a yearly military aide in the tune of $3-4Bln to Israel than every single one of those things you mention above.
And again as you claimed originally the "USA paying for things I guess you have never heard of NORAD" and it "costing tens of billions" you tried to make it sound the US pays for NORAD they don't it's a Bi Nationaltion Military Organization that Canada contributes financial resources, physical assets and personnel to NORAD. Specifically, Canada's NORAD contribution includes Canadian Armed Forces personnel serving in NORAD-related activities in both the U.S. and Canada; fighter aircraft on alert status during normal operations; the operation and maintenance of the Canadian portion of the North Warning System – a chain of radar stations along the northern edge of North America; and, forward operating locations to support fighter operations in the North.
