And why it was different than recently-pardoned Honduran ex-President Hernández.

I was assiduously avoiding referring to operators running purple support thingies, but yeah…Tac Hel’s there too. 😉

Don’t worry. It’s easy to remember though. It’s run mostly by Tac Hel. CRCAF, DCRCAF, DGASFD, Comd 1CAD, Comd CANR, Comd 2CAD, etc.

One could make the case that the DNC was even more out of touch with America than those that argue the same about MAGA. WTF were they thinking keeping Biden on the 2024 ticket to start?!? And then when that thundered in, that they doubled down with Harris instead of letting Newsom or Buttigieg...

Good to see all members of Vancouver‘s mounted unit wearing their fluorescent PT belts!

They are small relative to bigger 750-1500MW single units. In the right place they make eminent sense, particularly when they reduce dependency on vast distribution system to send power from the south up northwards. They are modular, which by definition in the nuclear power industry means...

Compare to whom?

…even though it represents 30% of global GDP. Check.

Well played, good sir. Well played.

If you willfully decide that the rest of the world other than China isn’t developing nuclear capacity, then nothing I or others say will change your mind. Canada (principally Ontario) is increasing nuclear generation capacity (13GW to 20 GW). How’s the dream working out? It’s progressing, but...

Mothership Textron can solve that by licensing the UH-1Y fabrication as a commercial variant, to resolve the BHTI and BHTC separation of church and state. No. Extra dead-weight/complexity of a folding tail on the MH-60S reduces tactical payload and its maritime landing gear configuration is...

Not sure nuclear is dead just yet. China more than double its installed power from 20GW to 53GW in the last decade. It’ll hit 100GW from fission in the next decade. It also had significant progress with its EAST fusion reactor; sustaining over 1000 seconds of stable fusion with Q significantly...

Maybe FIFA will take back Trump’s peace prize?

And related, the details of the in play 20 point piece plan proposal are brought in. Interesting that 4.10. It appears the US will have a free trade agreement with Russia. Take that Canada in Mexico! 😉...

Personnel preference. I’d be just as comfortable flying out of Gilze-Rijen (for CH-147F and CH-146 dets) or Vokel (F35s). I’ve flown out of Gilze-Rijen personally and familiar with Vokel. The Dutch are very solidly integrated into NATO, far more so than Denmark. The Dutch are considered...

All good. Each has their own perspectives. I would agree with you about operational and tactical advantage in the short-term for Denmark. Having worked with NATO a fair bit over the last 30 years or so, I’d still put more consideration to proximity to Europe’s major arena (NLD, which is...

Russia’s part in the P3 division of the world into 1/3s? (China takes AsiaPac, Russia gets Western Asia and Eastern M.E., and America gets the Americas most of M.E. and NW/arctic Europe) https://www.reuters.com/world/china/russia-opposes-taiwan-independence-any-form-fm-lavrov-says-2025-12-28/

1 Hussars? My grandfather was Regina Rifles and mentioned the great support the Hussars gave them on NAN GREEN.
