Hell, still in Italy but centuries later, Machiavelli HATED using mercenaries as city guards as they weren't loyal and could be bought by the enemy or if they were losing, could abandon posts or switch sides.
He ensured the city guard were made up of local men as they were defending their HOME so new if they failed, their families might be in danger. He even wrote a book about this and how to rule, pity the only one these leaders read is 1984 as a guide..
As a German with a history degree I giggle a bit. Keep in mind, we didn't try to take over, Rome couldn't expand into various territories. They'd claim 'decisive' victories and then a few years later move the walls back further.
The Germans on the other hand continued to try to trade with Romans. They had an elaborate gate system to enter into Rome, which could be bypassed. Then Rome demanded a special mark on the papers to allow trading. This wasn't useful a few miles inward so that was ignored.
My direct ancestors were used for war. They were so good that eventually Rome had only German soldiers marching around. This worked till Caeser decided he wasn't going to pay us, or some other fool thought it wise to show a decisive win.
In every case it was a perceived dominance vs the reality surrounding them.
We can point to the European colonies in the same way. The native tribes often thought of themselves as dominant and the Europeans as somewhat useful trade partners. It was only after the Europeans took over that the stories of guns germs and steel were told. Even old Western movies didn't show this dominance.
So, a group that is perceived to be useless and easy to manipulate slowly taking over has quite a bit of precedence. China happens to have it as part of their culture. They destroyed more civilizations and made them Chinese this way than any time they had a superior army.
The problem is these ideas take time. It's not a single generation that does it, but multiple generations. Germans didn't go from outsiders to rulers overnight.
But, then we have to realize the mechanism for that slow down was the speed of travel at that time. Germans could travel faster than Romans. It's actually why so many middle eastern people have trade as a major part of their culture, they are the roads to other lands.
Today, I can drive from Aberdeen to London in 8ish hours depending on traffic. I can get to the other side of Europe in a day pretty easily. I can contact people and do trade with someone around the world with my phone.
Then we have to include propaganda. The English are the best at it. They convinced German Submarine leadership to not use the most effective method for submarines during world war I. They almost convinced the Irish that it was ok to be British. They convinced themselves that they were winning battles in Africa and Europe throughout world war II. All major propaganda is based on their methods and the Canadian system has used it directly.
The Byzantine Empire had the Varangian guards (Vikings). They could no longer trust their own forces and political rivalries were out of control--bring in foreigners who could at least be bought.
The Ottoman Empires had the Janissaries (converted Christians mostly from the Balkans). Ditto.
Heck, the Gurkhas in British India were the elite forces of the British army for more than a century. Tens of thousands of Gurkhas fought for and served the British in World War 2.
Perhaps a leading indicator of a nation in grave decline.
The king in french revolution also had swiss mercenaries to defend his palace
Fun fact: the national day of France is the day of the Bastille, the day the revolution took over the Bastille prison. The prison was manned by mercenaries. Mercenaries lost 2 soldiers (they surrendered after running out of ammo/supplies), Revolutionaries lost 300+ lol.
How long did it lasted with other examples you mentioned? Just wondering if I can safely age away in my small UK village before minorities decide to take over or should I start slowly evacuating back to Poland.
I can understand why. The military is suppose to be in the service of the country but those in power want the military to be in their service. You can't have silly things like patriotism or a national identity get in the way.
I assume they've tried getting the infinite pajeets to join the military but failed so now they straight up hire mercenaries.
It also makes being violent anti-white more likely.
I wonder what the creators of Fallout are thinking right now. The US might need to fast track its annexation plans by about 50 years. Replacing your military with western mercs is an infinitely better option because they at least fight for the highest bidder. These vets are going to be siphoning off all this training and intelligence back to China and will be loyal only to the PRC.
Sounds like China is going to use Canada as a staging ground to strike the US when they finally make a move against Taiwan. Keep us pinned down on our own border while they move in to reclaim the island.
This move will make the transition into the North American Union a lot less chaotic. Once they force us into the new system, Americans won’t freak out because we will see it like America just got bigger, not as a loss of sovereignty at first, but there’s gonna be a whole lot of pissed off White people in Canada who know they just lost their sovereignty, ZOG doesn’t want actual Canadians in possession of military equipment as it happens. On a good note, that’s a sign WW3 probably isn’t in the works, otherwise they’d want their military to be chocked full of White cannon fodder.
True, their sovereignty has been gone for years, just as it has been in the U.S., and in every other western nation, which is why we see the entire western world forcing 3rd world mass immigration, right wing censorship and now right wing views being criminalized, the surveillance cams blanketing society, and why we are all headed for the digital ID.
Some sort of entity is dictating policy to every government in the western world, but that’s not the point.
The point is, global ZOG won’t be pretending there’s still sovereignty in the Canadian branch anymore, which is going to cause a reaction from the people. ZOG pretending you still have an elected government and influence over your system really makes a huge difference in how the citizens feel, think and react to policy their puppet regime forces on them.
The CAF is dead. I got out and I am fucking lucky.
The recruitment process is a fucking two year fucking disaster.
All the stupid and inept get promoted and the good ones get fucked over because if they got promoted there wouldn't be any one left to do work or train people.
Attrition rate is a disaster. Next ten years will see the collapse of Canadian military.
Carney's role as PM will be to facilitate Chinese ownership of Canadian territory.
People fail to understand that this is what Trump's tariffs and talk of annexation is about; keeping China off their northern border.
It's not just China, they're open to all nonwhite invasion
half of america is just shitskins galore, i doubt this is about the nonwhite invasion
It's both hilarious and sad. Any historians here can make parrarels to ancient rome and it's reliance on barbarians?

they read the Protocols as a guide
A sort of proto-bio-leninism was it?

So, what you're saying Saar is you'll soon be speaking Hindi Saar.
It's on my list, but I want to learn the slavics and Greek first. Also, Korean.
What time scales are we talking about here? Can I expect Jizya within my lifespan in UK?

So, I would guess 2 generations.
Very common.

Hah, I didn't know that -- smart mercenaries!

Carthage had a mostly mercenary army and navy. Didn't really help when the Romans stopped engaging with Carthage and the plundering dried up
How long did that frog boiled?

There were a lot of veterans and current personel involved in the Freedom Convoy and they're not happy with the faggotry in our military.

What good is the money when the only place you can spend it is a brown, scammy, polluted shithole?

They lost their sovereignty years ago. This would just make it a formality.
True, their sovereignty has been gone for years, just as it has been in the U.S., and in every other western nation, which is why we see the entire western world forcing 3rd world mass immigration, right wing censorship and now right wing views being criminalized, the surveillance cams blanketing society, and why we are all headed for the digital ID.

Yeah, 85% don't care.
Oh, but eLbOwS uP...
They're just upset because Venezuela got the title and are throwing a tantrum.
More White people funding worthless non-Whites. Every $ spent on the Canadian military is a waste. All soliders are welfare queens.
Looks like they really wanna make fallout lore a thing...

Why not just establish a foreign legion like the french? Earn citizenship after you serve, not the other way around.
