I think it's less about "acceptable" solution than an "inevitable" conclusion. Power abhors a vacuum. And if the Americans withdraw from the world. Others will fill the void.

Just imagine what his feed is like to come to the conclusion that the dude selling crypto before swearing in is less corrupt than his predecessors. The algorithm can really mess you up if you lack basic media literacy and critical thinking.

There's a specific turning point in all the polling that you can identify when America broke. 2003. Before the invasion of Iraq most polls said America was moving in the right direction.. Post-invasion Americans haven't had a single year where those polls said the country was moving in the...

Alternative Facts.

Dude sold billions in shady crypto. Buying pardons is now an open secret in DC. Just "donate" to the $300M ballroom he's building. Or rent a room at his DC hotel for $20k a night while in town. And if you have a better explanation for why his peace plan for Ukraine had so many US-Russia...

Yep. And most of that spending won't be v in their interest. No more corporate tax cuts. We gotta spend $20B more on defence.

I question this. We all saw the first Trump term. We learned nothing. And wasted the Biden years instead of building resiliency. Not just Canada. Europe too. Everybody pretended that Trump 45 was an aberration. And we did this despite Biden not reversing a lot of Trump's trade policy and...

You're right that he won't be POTUS forever. But the disease that led to his second term is there and spreading. It's not going away. And he's normalizing things like mercantilism in trade policy and isolationism in military policy. This administration is particularly corrupt. They are...

Go have a look at birthrates for Gen Z in the US. Not much different than Canada. And honestly, given how fast American governance is becoming a clown show, I'm not sure you assertion can be taken for granted. Think of where China was in the year 2000. Now they have the largest peacetime...

I've spent time in the US. And sympathize with the American taxpayer not getting what they perceive as value for their taxes. But let's not pretend that the Americans did this out of some sense of charity. They spent on their military and foreign policy to maintain their global power and...

First DIA procurement. Prelim to a larger multibillion dollar project. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/economy/article-ottawas-defence-investment-agency-completes-first-procurement-aims-to/

This. And it does so by snchronizing fires across several non-kinetic domains. EW, Space and Cyber specifically. To the extent it does use kinetic effects, it's long range fires for deep strikes. We absolutely do need elements of this. Not in the way the Americans are doing it at the...

I am literally not understanding what you think should be different in the future from what we do today. It's not one person deciding a response. But there is absolutely a system in place. And it's designed to match the speed of the threat.

I don't think Trump knows or cares what an MDTF is. The problem here is that Canadians have main character syndrome and think everything is about us. The Americans don't nearly think of us as much as we think of them. Trump makes up whatever he wants on any given day and his toadies get in...

This. Took me several lectures on ASPOC to learn the difference.

It's maybe new to this forum. But a lot of the discussion on this has been going on in the CAF for maybe a decade at this point. It's just that we're now getting capital to build the infrastructure needed to operationalize these ideas.

Relevant capital project. https://apps.forces.gc.ca/en/defence-capabilities-blueprint/project-details.asp?id=2306

Youth unemployment is double digits. Was only a matter of time.
