100% agree. I was thinking more along the 'optics' of it. I think that its easier to get your population 'onside' with the idea of nuclear weapons by pointing to the nuclear submarines and saying, 'we've already got nuclear submarines and we're using them appropriately, we'll do the same with...

The UK has already said no, France as well. Australia, Germany, Japan and a significant number of others haven’t said yes yet as well. With Canada, the UK and France on the ‘no’ side, I suspect the majority of the above will follow suit as well. Trump is pissed off that the vast of majority of...

Them getting nuc subs is the first step. After them, Japan will be next.

The fact that the Germans and the Poles are working together on something like should not be underestimated to be nothing but a seismic shift in their relationship. I have little doubt that the meaning of this will be utterly lost on Trump’s administration.

And access to water, whether it’s God given rain or groundwater, more cattle means more grass and water.

It would be great to get some sort military equipment production out of this, Lord knows that we need it.

The only example that quickly comes to my mind is The Netherlands and Germany. Well over 20% of all Dutch trade goes to Germany and their economies are closely tied together. Now 22-24% is not the same as 65-67%, but nevertheless, their economies are tied together closely.

ALOT of people are pissed off with Unlucky Lutnick because he caused them to miss their dessert on Tuesday evening after dinner.

I read today that Mexico gets its Canola oil from the US. The obvious pitch to them would be, buy your Canola from us and not the US.

Its was merely an example of a CDN running from one set of bosom's to another, lol.

More news out of SK on the Sub contract. I don't see anything similar, in terms of almost weekly news articles on the contract, coming out of Germany. Different countries, different approach's. Hyundai plant for sub contract? Industrial tie-ins may determine victory in Canadian Navy bid...

Question - does the building of this new test facility in anyway strengthen the current framework for acquiring 15 Rivers or does it have no bearing whatsoever if we build only the first 3 or 9 or all 15? If we were to shoot ourselves in the foot and stop after 3 and then build these talked...

And having ex-PM’s run from the bosom of Sophie to the bosom of Katy certainly doesn’t help us.

Who is ‘they’?

“By tonnage, more commercial vessels were built by China’s state-owned Shipbuilding Corporation in 2024 than the United States has managed to construct in total in the 80 years since the end of World War II.“ @ytz That is unreal to read.

Expanding our artillery shell production would be a good thing.

And they need to find a consistent, reliable nat gas supplier.

The fact that Harper is saying move away from the US is an inconvenience that PP and the Conservatives would love to go away.

Have a wonder a bit about a 'what if' scenario when the Ukkies were pushing hard in their offensive clearing Kherson and Musk decided to shut down their internet comms during the same time period. Maybe that offensive would have been enough to push the Russian from the eastern bank and allowed...
