There's actually a reasonable plan to be had if we want to reduce F-35 purchases. But the anti-America crowd wants maximalist goals. 1) Order two squadrons worth of light attack fighters based on the LIFT picked. Restricted to domestic ops and training support. One each at Cold Lake and...

Lol. If this his plan, he's f'd. Because this basically is telling the Europeans and the Gulf countries to cut a deal with Iran. What would he do then? It's already over $3. And on the verge of hitting $4. Grades above regular are over $4.

Don't think that's an accurate take. Marco Rubio basically admitted that Israel dragged them into this. And now we have the Arabs (and other sources) basically saying that Kushner and Witkoff convinced Trump to do this. I don't think it's so much "the Joos" as Netanyahu working through...

There were a bunch of military space announcement this week. Including joining NATO Starlift with development of a sovereign space launch capability at Canso. https://open.substack.com/pub/truenorthstrategicreview/p/minister-mcguinty-announces-strategic Our geography is highly advantageous to...

This is a great video on what Canada could offer to Europe and some of what the government is aiming for:

Works fine on my phone and my Mac. Curious what you saw.

The challenge is that he's still undermining the NATO commitment. Even if Congress won't allow it, he can still refuse to commit forces to help NATO. As someone who grew up there in the 80s and who is brown, I've always thanked my parents for choosing Canada. Only country I'll ever go to war...

I found an educational tool to help POTUS understand the challenge. https://sweepthestrait.com/

It's mostly obvious no?

Some of the conversations here. I find it hard to believe some folks were in uniform. I know not everyone had bars on their uniform. But thinking through enemy COAs and motivations isn't just taught to officers. Take a second and think through what motivates the IRGC and what you would do in...

This must be the type of interagency officials that Brad said were holding Trump back.

They pretty much were before too. Just the CRINK axis helping out. At best, this will server some of the sanctions breaking through the UAE which the Emiratis turned a blind eye too. And even that's not a guarantee. They may cut a deal to save their own economies. Meanwhile, Iran can hold the...

Iran was only truly worthwhile, if they were going to commit to the long fight. If not, we now have an actor who has an excuse to be unrestrained. And not just against the US and Israel.

Production in the Gulf has reduced by 10 million barrels per day. Flow is down 15 million barrels per day. Even with the release of reserves that deficit is building. For one the reserves themselves are constrained on release. And for another, the reserves don't always account for the exact...

It's nonsense I wouldn't worry about. And increasingly for all the threats about Canada getting kicked out of the Five Eyes, there's discussions about how we do things in that group sans the grumpy participant. You won't see that in the papers though. There's a reason the PM is visiting other...

I mean. How much have they actually applied from Ukraine in this Op? But that's not what I was referring to.

Best we can do is work on rearming and training to be ready for the next war. Cause after this, the US will not be looking so hot.

If recent rumours are to be believe, he thought he'd get a poll bump like Bush after 9/11 cause that is what his son in law told him. He's openly saying he was surprised Iran attacked the rest of the Gulf: I think he was emboldened by Venezuela and thought he would go down as a hero for...

The Iranians have literally floated a version of this idea. Saying they'll let through cargoes that aren't settled in dollars. It's funny how so many people here are unabashedly pro-oil and yet completely clueless to those dollars circulate back to the US.
