Every bully’s excuse…”Well, I was just joking around. Gee! Don’t know why they’re upset.” 😠
exactly
it’s their pathetic attempt at damage control.
Who cares stop crying. You sound like a bunch of whiny Americans always complaining. Does his words really affect you that much?
You’d think he would learn to just keep his mouth shut……..another suit with an i.q just south of a bedroom slipper…
Oh, Honey. Just look at his boss.
We’ll be voting, and then we’ll keep our finger’s crossed. Hey Neighbors, maybe cross yours, too?
@chula chalupa we are praying for you.
@jasmine jones
Seriously, Thank You.
Go Trump 2020 landslide Victory!!!
@Crusader Cross Trump Co. is finished!!!
He is an economist, a weird one at best. What does he know about military affairs.
He doesn’t know anything about economics either, apparently. Despite his education.
@Sean Mahoney Sajjan is a former army officer.
Sajjan is a former army officer and served in Afghanistan.
tim ryan Hmmm Okay, I would thought he originated from there
Leaderless Country: Where would you get the idea Harjit Sajjan came from Afghanistan? The guy is a Canadian born in India.
“Everytime canadians show up in uniform, they’re doing is a favor. Hows that work?”
Fighting YOUR war.
we show up at the start of problems not near the end
minotar janes lol. Exactly. But to be fair…You do also start some of the problems. Canada can’t do anything without American support. Lol can you imagine that?
@Not Entirely Apathetic history has proven that to be false.
@Not Entirely Apathetic Oh please do tell what service you’ve done? Especially in the Canadian forces, i’m guess none. So you can get back to playing video games cupcake.
There’s never been anyone except the enemy who weren’t bloody happy to see Canadians show up to fight.
Speaks volumes about Navarro, that does.
He heard 10,000 Canadian soldiers were lining-up to spit in his face FOH
Count me in
I’M NO SOLDIER BUT PLEASE, I WILL BE VERY PLEASED TO DO IT FIRST IN LINE!!! MY BLOOD IS BOILING!
Andre Salazar: Problem is you first have to get Navarro’s nose out of Donnie’s a$$hole where he spends most of his time.
I’m a pacifist and even I will get in line 💧
If you’ve ever seen this clown on the news you know he’s not to be taken seriously. He’s a broken record stuck on stupid. When you pull the string in his back all he ever says is, “but CHYNA, but CHYNA”. You couldn’t trust this guy to effectively water a cactus.
I loled at this because I killed a Cactus once by overwatering it
Don’t believe Navarro is sorry. Republicans are not trustworthy, ask the Kurds
Maybe they should have just taken the cowards way out and only used drones like Obama. That guy used so many drone strikes he literally ran out of missiles at one point.
@Not Entirely Apathetic democrats and Republicans are two sides of the same coin.
TMB sorry dude I misread your comment. Please ignore my last.
Lol Kurds like any better than Saddam Hussein and the Iranians..
So you trust Trudeau? I would question your judgement if that’s the case.
Navarro would be wise to keep his mouth shut and be thought a fool…..rather than opening it up and proving he is ! ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️🇨🇦🇨🇦
Too late for that. This is not the first time he has removed all doubt.
Yes but there are many fools in the audience of listeners. It’s they who breathe life into his words.
weasel words from a coward.
I’d like to see him stand on Canadian soil and make those comments to the military. I doubt he has the nerve to do it.
@Live Life Our soldiers would probably apologize because our military is a big joke. I’m surprised our government hasn’t dismantled it yet.
@Icof onoldpeople That wasn’t my experience when I served.
Navarro has never serve his own country in the military, nor has he been to the front line.
Kerri Grandmaison in line with his boss
What an ignorant fool. Should have kept his mouth shut instead of confirming his foolishness.
I don’t think Canadians mis-interpreted you words. We are far from stupid, besides Canadians are peacekeepers and every military force appears to be clean-up crews for American military….they have a bad habit of making a mess and just walking away from it, been doing it for many years.
We were proud peacekeepers for decades but we spent the last two wearing out our military materiel and troops fighting America’s war of ever expanding scope. We’re currently rebuilding the forces. Hopefully we can get back to peacekeeping instead of military adventurism on behalf of ungrateful allies.
The era of peacekeeping is long gone. The world is becoming too much of a powder keg. Peacekeeping doesn’t work anymore. You need to be committed fully militarily. Our military is so underfunded and under-trooped it’s sad.
EVERY foreign soldier in Afghanistan is stupid and evi1.
Canadian troops have not always been peacekeepers.They were very effective fighters during WWII,and actually advanced farther in to France than any other allied country,including the Americans.We don’t have a huge military,but it knows it’s job well.
how disconnected from reality must he be?
Yeah, we all know about Peter Navarro’s military expertise: he spent three years in the Peace Corps, lounging on the beaches in Thailand and sipping Tom Yum Siam cocktails. Like all the sniveling cowards and shirkers in Cadet Bonespurs’ gang, he likes to think he’s an expert on war.
Maybe laying on the beach with Someting Young….
Lmfao!!
Time to come home no more foriegn wars for corporate America.
Kathreen Poulos You can’t, cause your always stuck with some Yankee boot-lick Prime Minister.
Navarro: the economist who claims expertise over Fauci in a pandemic, is also claiming expertise (insulting Canadians) in military concerns? Ego driven blowhard.
Carol Fraughton he’s not even an economist. At best, he’s an ex-economist, and as an economist, he had a reputation for being the flat-earther of economics.
Another WH clown fool who knows sweet bugger all about anything put in a position that he isn’t qualified for. Vote Blue.
Canadian American relations will never be the same after the past 4 years
After 3.5 years of careful screening, this administration now consists exclusively of lunatics.
Poor Navarro – always being taken out of context.
