The US peak presence reflects a time when radar did not see as far, fighters did not fly as far, ground based missile defence did not have the same reach, space based capability was less capable, and Russia did not have so many of its old bombers blowed-up by Ukraine. Absolute numbers of people...

You asked what we shpuld do, made made a flippant remark about “convene vigorously” in response to a US attack on NATO, dropped a rhetorical statement about wasting Canadian lives to defend Ellesmere Island, and then speculated that we would both be fighting in the north if Canada foes to war...

No. Trump is threatening a war against NATO. The instigation would be his decision to act on that threat. If we fool ourselves into thinking that we can sit it out and we choose to not respond with NATO, then we have not saved ourselves. We have simply made Trump’s first fight easier while...

I forget nothing. The claim was made that European NATO would be too cowardly to fight for itself. But European NATO has already demonstrated that it has the courage to fight when it is not threatened, so it would be foolish to assume away its willingness to fight when it is threatened. NATO...

What makes security and force protection less deserving than other Operations Support functions that have established occupations?

This statement seems dismissive of all support occupations. I assume that is not your intent?

Maybe the first signs of TACO?

The new destroyers will need heightened security, and even CAF bases without fighters and destroyers should be doing more than happens now. There should be a CAF security force of personnel who are peace officers but not police officers for every major base.

Those hoping Congress will curb imperialist aggression might be in for some disappointment.

You are not really offering choice in a multifaith society when the choice is secular or one minority religion. If you want undiscriminating choice, then establish two competing secular systems. If you are not ready to do that, your real priority is not about offering everyone an equal choice...
