Most other countries with bitter enemies going back hundreds of years that they SHARE a border with, and even they don't see a need for this kind of... "defense".
Because we all know Portland was almost taken by the rebels last year!
As someone who lives as part of the "rest of the world" it's very fucking scary. I just wish you guys would care a little bit more about protecting the rest of us while you're at it. :/

Our oceans didn't stop 9/11.
The Chinese... guess which country is funding the Chinese military by buying billions of dollars worth of their low quality merchandise? Guess which country's technology was stolen and is now part of Chinese ICBMs?
The Russians... do you know how many nukes they still have? Are they all accounted for? Does that ever bother you?
Do you know spying by the Chinese and Russians is at cold war levels?
OK, you can go back to sleep now. Have a Molson's and roll over.
