    Replacing the Subs

    The article also said that the second sub under construction was draped in South Korean/Canadian colours!! And apparently, Carney's visit went 30 minutes longer then planned. Edit: Removed Noahs take on the visit as already posted above.

    Replacing the Subs

    Isn't that exactly what the South Koreans are proposing? The sub is launched, the Canadian crew goes over and trains on it and once qualified, sails it back to Canada.

    Replacing the Subs

    Found this report from the Defense Report website that compares the two contenders for the CPSP and comes out in favour of the U212CD vs the KS-111 B2. Personally I thought that the author had a bias for the TKMS U212CD vs the KS-III. The biggest one is that he praises the U212CD against the...

    2025 U.S. - Venezuela conflict

    True, but they probably dislike Yankee imperialists even more so. Especially if there are causalities. Even more so if it is perceived by the American public as nothing more than a scheme to enrich a bunch of billionaires.

    2025 U.S. - Venezuela conflict

    Of course if the US moves into VZ a lot would demand on how much opposition they could expect. On one hand people may welcome them with open arms. Or the US might find themselves in the middle of a guerilla war a la Vietnam. Any US excursion into VZ could also result in a massive political...

    2025 U.S. - Venezuela conflict

    Well we have earlier reports of helicopters from the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, plus B-52s flying off the coast is probably a good warning that something may be in the works...
