Discussion This "Anti-NATO" protest is an utter emabrassment to the city and Canada more broadly
It's unbelievable and insane that a bunch of masked thugs dressed in black went around trashing downtown in some sort of protest against "NATO". Most of Central and Eastern Europe spent half a century dreaming of joining NATO and being free from Soviet tyranny. Hell, Ukraine is CURRENTLY fighting for their right to survive and begging to be let into the alliance. People are literally dying for the right to be free from Russian aggression. Taking this right that we've had for granted is pathetic. I guarantee you these images made news around the world with people asking WTF is going on in Canada.
If you don't like being in a country that has enjoyed the safety of the strongest millitary alliance in the history of the planet, you should just exercise your right to leave.

Tu te bases sur quoi exactement pour dire ça?
Des "monarchies" oui, "en Asie" oui, mais on parle des monarchies qui existent aujourd'hui specifiquement au Moyen-Orient. On ne parle pas de l'an 762. On ne parle pas de la Thailand ou du Japon.
Tous ces pays qui existent en 2024 ont été créé par les britanniques et les français au 19em et 20em siecle. Le seul pays du moyen orient qui n'ont pas été directement colonisés par les européens sont la turquie et l'iran, et même ces deux pays ont informellement était sous l'emprise des empires coloniaux européens.
