But you and I both know from hard experience, that is not how it would play out in reality.

I am not in favour of the Federal Government blundering into another area of provincial responsibility. It would be a certainty that if the feds created a national wildfire force, it would be more than offset by each province cutting their forces, each thinking they could cheat and just call in...

Where was the alligator?

Too big, by 3000(ish) tonnes…

It is. Since most press releases, when this sort of thing occurs, usually decline to name someone undergoing administrative measures, citing privacy regulations.

Never read the comments section….

Fair. What I was referring to was the comments section for news stories, where there is ample evidence that foreign actors inflame events.

He taught me to fall out of airplanes…very diplomatically and tactfully…

I would bet, dollars to donuts, that the vast majority of the “disturbing comments” are from bot farms in Iran or Russia, looking at amping the incident. We have seen this in the past in the west.

Hey, the Patricias are happy it ain’t them, after a bad run in the 1990s. Bank robbers, etc….

That goes to show just how valuable the VCR process is. In addition to getting your personnel clear to access a facility, you will know well ahead of time whether they will be admissible to the US. CBP doesn’t care about the VCR itself, however. They have their own admissibility criteria. PM...

If Trump finds a “path to peace” that dismembers Ukraine and rewards Putin and his cronies, I can about guarantee that the overall impact to international stability will not be positive.

The result is about what I expected and the margin of victory is close to where I thought it would be. I also don’t know what (credible) media thought he was going to lose.

How is “surviving two assassination attempts” skill on his part? He is, objectively, a terrible President, doing incalculable damage to the US (let alone the western alliance). That you cannot see that through the tainted lens of your “fanboy life” is equally shocking. In no way do I...

A Visit Clearance Request is done through CDLS(W) and staffed through the Pentagon to get permission to gain access to a facility, site or location. That is the first step in the process of *official” visiting the US. It has nothing to do with the process of entering the US through a Port of...

So, no. A toddler holding nuclear codes requires careful handling. Trump does not have any particular skill himself (besides ruthless self interest. I will give him that).

I think this has been the true “51st state” thing, the whole time.

I have. In the Wardroom. I do not recommend it.

Never recover armoured vehicles under fire. During the Cold War, there was no expectation that your vehicle was getting recovered until after the immediate fight. This is a Peacekeeping/COIN scar…
