Yup…once world events started aligning with The Onion, I knew we were in store for more than most of us ever imagined.

With Kent resigning, Trump could move Fugate into the Director role at the National Counterterrorism Center. https://www.thenews.com.pk/amp/1394579-thomas-fugate-trumps-pick-for-terrorism-prevention-renews-concerns-amid-war

TFTFY (and KevinB)… 😉

I like that he shits on people that show up late to his meetings, or poorly attired.

Perhaps not a ‘short-term’ problem for America per se. However, the petrodollar has never been at risk like it is now. If America retreats to frack-frack-fracking and buying 1.5Tbbls of Canadian *WCS a year to flaunt its energy independence, having unbalanced the M.E., it’s only a matter of...

Germany is pretty clear: he said he didn’t need us, he didn’t talk with use…consequences… That’s ’Murkin for “Xi told Trump to un-phuque the Iran thing or we won’t even start talking about a deal…”

For joining, sure. Any precedence for leaving?

It was pretty involved in Guld War 1…

Likely only in the case where Canada was contributing to a Euro-centric effort and fell under French nuclear protective/deterrence capability.

Germany doesn’t trust PM Carney and Canada’s ability to supply oil and NG: Foreign Minister Wadephul. https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/poilievre-pitch-natural-gas-development-plan-to-germany-foreign-minister

Wow, and a Legacy C-model, not a Super Hornet apparently… 😳 Sure, insult them and “wake up”’to join the side of might…

He was busy as Sr. Assoc DM at Finance. 👍🏼

If you want to get picky, the Bank of Canada’s Board of Directors nominate an appointee, but Canada’s Governor-General-in-Council issues an Order-in-Council as represented by Privy Council, specifically Cabinet, a sub-committee of the Privy Council, to approve the BoC’s Board’s appointment (ref...
