   Right, the froggies _always_ need massive American help.   
      
   So what the fuck else is new??

   Canuckleheads love to have both sides of the debate simultaneously, it   
   feeds their national manifest hypocrisy.

   I don't suppose you can _ever_ let Vietnam go, now can you?   
      
   Wassamatta, you or some fellow hoser serve there and now you assign   
   lifelong blame to the US for your own poorly made choices?   
      
   Canucks are so petty in their trite little brudda blame game mentality.

   Canucks use the USA as a whipping post for EVERYTHING!   
      
   Literally you blame us as a national excuse for your own poor choices,   
   dearth of world standing, and manifest cowardice under geopolitical fire.   
      
   A nation of cowards, all keening at big brudda for cleaning up the   
   bullies for them.

   Wait, what?!????!   
      
   You think there are "democratic communists" then?   
      
   Oh do tell!
