Kurds: “Hold our non-alcoholic beers…”

I lived in Orleans, so I was “blocking force”… Funny how some folks forget the HSR idea/platform was Harper’s originally. its not centered around Ottawa, its based in Quebec’s Charlevoix countryside… https://maps.app.goo.gl/hrY35fC3Lnwbo5AE8?g_st=ic

Not a FARP per se. We’ll see, but I’d bet those 130s were not newer MCs, and that they (and the Little Birds) were worst-case planned for one-way trips, hence why the 295Ws were in the AO and used quite successfully to exfil a bunch the -130 and -6 crew. The pax exfil requirements and planning...

More thoughts of their own path being followed, by an American ex-diplomat… (Could also be semi-relatedly cross-posted in the Whither NATO thread perhaps, but root cause analysis says it’s best here.) https://steadystate1.substack.com/p/why-a-superpower-finds-itself-alone

Until the Pope stops disrespecting Trump, the Catholics will continue to be Trumpexorcised… 😉

You give Kremniy EI too much credit. It’s because they don’t have Dutch ASML UV lithography machines…simple as that.

In the current trade climate with the US, no reason to *contract other than to buy tranche by tranche. Easy, they see Canada as reacting against the U.S. exceptionalism industrial game, and looking for positive industrially collaborative activities, hence Saab courting Canada and CGAP nations...

For as much as the Sun is smoking outwards through the Milky Way. 😉

I think he would have. I know and like Eric. He was closer to my genetic small-c prairies-based leaning than the Reform/Alliance/beyond parties in the CPC tent.

Pretty much 100% with you on everything you said ArmyRick, less your characterization of this… This was to some degree a not well-played game by O’Toole but in the Joe Clark sense of more naivety that there would still be confidence, or belief that there wouldn’t be a “bucket of crabs”...

And the underlaying point that it’s a risk management methodology to ensure worse case scenario is that they don’t escape Earth’s orbit if the slingshot isn’t 100% accurate, should be seen formations that NASA is doing its best to think things out deeply this time around, and learning from...

Pivot? I don’t think a pivot is necessary for Team Red (and their Blue Grit *leader). Personally, I’d like to see Trudeau’s remnant cabinet flotsam and jetsam shown the door of Privy Council….’buh-bye!’

Tactical win against the JPR/CR effort. Strategic win seeing a mighty USAF Strike Eagle shot down, the pilot and WSO running and the recovery package getting some SAFIRE action.

I might actually have voted for him IF he had been this person. No. He has learned from his past performance and adjusted how he interacts and communicates. Don’t blame Jenni Byrne, he accepted whatever advice she gave, that’s on him. Your point that this man existed last year during the...

And the impact of Japan’s ownership of US debt equivalent to the U.S.’ cost of financing its entire debt and the interest rate split about to close due to Japanese economic inflation due to the restrictions of its oil from the ME. Japan may be fixed by economics to sell a not insignificant...

They are when they’re selecting them for the Regime’s necessity. Are you not seeing this as ECOAML?

KSA, EGP, UAE, BRN, QTR, JOR, OMN….all are part of the “You.” They are not ‘that other guy over there’ in the eyes of the IRGC.

Highly unlikely. UKR appreciates the value of the three Baltic south-side nations (EST, LVA and LTU) and the part they play in keeping the BaSR (Baltic Sea Region) as reasonably stabilized as it is at the moment. There is no value in UKR trying to involve a junior NATO nation into being the...

The professional flyers get better looking…
