South Korea definitely needs it. Just look the neighbours.

The real fun starts when the Japanese, South Koreans and Taiwanese pursue nukes.

The Poles absolutely should get a deterrent.

I don't get why more countries aren't catching shadow fleet ships. They are massive environmental risks. And they are free oil money. And they hurt Russia. What's the downside here?

I would argue the kind of aggression being seen from ICE is performative and tantamount to intimidation rather than mission focused on deportations. People forget. Obama hired Hohman, the same guy, to ramp up deportations. Obama was called "Deporter-in-Chief" by most of the left and some...

Yeah but a unique problem for us is that we're substantially overweight one hegemon. There's no practical way to diversify away from the US without some trade with China. And yes, that will require a lot more management than we are used to. Quite simply, Canada has had nationhood in easy mode...

I figure the ramping up of their culture wars is because they've decided they can't fight China. Otherwise, they would unify against the external threat.

Well at least one part of the US government is still helping this fight.....

Stuff like that isn't being ordered too. But that's on LCMMs to do. It's not the big sexy stuff being accelerated by DIA.

Barely. And I am not sure they've truly learned their lessons yet. If they want Trump to get off the Putin riding they need to help Ukraine defeat Russia. That's how they can show that the EU is actually strong.

It's actually a very Third World mindset. In a lot of corrupt third world countries institutions are seen as extensions of elites or powerful actors. They aren't seen as independent. Not a surprise the guy who spent his whole life doing a bunch of shady real estate deals has no capacity to...

Makes sense though. It's the ultimate destination of the "Thank you for your service" culture.

Yep. The criticism from Americans and Trump fans on this is total bonkers. Most of Canada's allies to do more trade with China in both absolute and relative terms. We're the boy scout in all this. And where did that leave us? With two Canadians in jail for an executive the Americans decided...

You're rather quick to give him credit. Honest question. Is there any pronouncement from him that wouldn't you think was absolute genius?

Again. We're asking what exactly did he gain that wasn't available before?

What exactly has he achieved that was different from before? They gave him an off-ramp and he seems to have taken it.

All these guys should be PNG'd after this administration is over. Lutnick, Bessent, Miller, Musk, etc. All the folks who enabled this attack on Europe.

Where's here? Industry, government and the CAF are moving to deploy AI. Some people in this forum may think it's a gimmick. But real organizations? Not so much.

Modern warfare doesn't just have tanks, ships and airplanes. Sensors, software, autonomous systems, space systems, mass simulation systems, etc are all necessary. We don't have to build all of that. But the only way the public will ever support sustained higher defence spending is if more of...

There's at least 30% of the American electorate who saw that and think he's a genius and would vote for him again. Heck, there's plenty of people on this forum who will rationalize and spin that brain rot in to some kind 3D chess. Just give it 5 mins.....
