Maybe because Trump keeps talking about having to own the Arctic in order to protect the USA? I'm fine with Davie doing this to speed up delivery. We need ships as fast as we can get them just so long as production of additional vessels shifts to Canada as soon they have the capacity and...

I'm pretty sure South Korea would be considered an "ally". From the United Nations Command website:

However... https://defence-blog.com/ukraine-denies-reports-of-secret-multinational-f-16-squadron/

Russians have hit a production line for Ukrainian Flamingo missiles... https://defence-blog.com/russia-destroys-ukraines-cruise-missile-production/ But as per President Zelenskyy,

Let's hypothetically say that over the next decade or so Europe truly heeds the signals from the United States that they need to be responsible for their own defence and rebuild their militaries to the point that they can defend against Russia on their own (including a continental nuclear...

While I don't believe that China is facing a literal "collapse", I do believe that they are facing a number of headwinds which will limit their current trajectory in relation the the US (and the West overall), many of which are of their own making. I agree that they are probably the major...

Are the Service Battalions involved at all in these tactical groupings? Would it make any sense to have support sub-units at some combat arms armouries?

When's the last time you saw a robot spending money at the local grocery store or shopping centre? What are the pension expenses for a robot? Just because you can use automation to produce a lot of something doesn't automatically create demand for that item. Surplus new cars in China We've...

Agree with you in general for the short term but in the longer term China is facing two serious own goals that will almost certainly seriously cripple them: demographic collapse and a leadership that is too focused on regional domination rather than regional integration. A rapidly aging...

I'm not suggesting that this type of stupidity might not expand in the USA of 2026 but just noting that your comment "Guess this is out now" regarding JPME at Johns Hopkins based on the posted email does not seem accurate.

I don't think it would affect the JPME program. If you read the email in the X post it is specifically from the JAG Recruiting Office about candidates for the FLEP/UFLEP (Funded/Unfunded Legal Education Programs). I guess the US JAG doesn't want law students going to law schools that might...

Makes sense to have a SLBM capability already in place if you were to someday decide you want/need a nuclear capability...

From the article on Topshee's Town Hall meeting: To me the expedient solution is a mass of autonomous sensor nodes to detect contacts so that our existing platforms can respond to them. There are a number of existing UUV's and USV's available that we could use as a stop gap measure while the...

Or she'll be like Richard III and lock the girl up in a tower (if she's lucky) when daddy dies and take power herself.

I don't think anyone is really concerned about the issue, but more amused by the optics of it in light of the current climate.

Why not leverage the existing infrastructure at CCG Base Quebec? Valcartier is nearby for logistical support. Plenty of employment opportunities and QOL for family members.

Oh, is that all?

I'd agree with you if I thought there was a chance in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 that you'd EVER get unanimous support from a multi-party parliament with widely different political views and priority issues on not just a single individual but a...

Unless there are radical swings in the vote percentages of the major provincial political parties there is nothing stopping Senators from serving for a long period of time. If there IS a massive swing in party representation (i.e. a major party is wiped out in the election) then are they really...

I think an unelected Senate appointed by Proportional Representation could work if done right. To me since the purpose of the Senate is to represent the Provinces/Territories (not the Federal political parties) then the Senators should be allotted on a Proportional Representation basis from a...
