    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    Curious why we aren't seeing casualty numbers from the Iranian side? Both real and Hamas style inflated ones? I can genuinely say that despite seeing reports about dozens if not hudnreads of strikes plastered all over social media, I haven't seen any that detail civilian casualties, clearly...

    Self Defence in Canada (split from Gun Control 2.0)

    You know, when it comes to safes, they can be "key-lock" safes, and the regulations don't actually state anywhere as to where the key must be located once the safe is locked. It just says the container must be one that is difficult to "break into". So, conceivably, you could lock it and then...

    If you watch very closely, you can see her eyes go "dead inside" for a brief moment before she regains a bit of her composure.

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    This could be work out well. Right now the tariffs are 10%, so the Americans are right now getting used to paying 10% more for Potash. If the tariffs drop, the Potash corps up their export price by 5%. The Americans still pay less than they did pre-lifting of the tariffs, but now our Potash...

    Canadian River Class Destroyer Megathread

    Each has their own set of expertise, so yes a CANTSA operators is going to know more about the specifics of CANTAS, and a armament tech is going to know more about the in-and-outs of CIWS, but, and I will probably get POUNCED on for saying this, but I would argue that officers (specifically the...

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    I wonder though if the Americans had instead practiced détente with Iran, would they have been so gung how to flood the ME with proxies? They got all of Israel's other bad-neighbors to start playing nice, maybe the could have convinced Iran as well. Let them be a Islamist theocracy, but make...

    Canadian River Class Destroyer Megathread

    Ok so lets take your example of a war with China as a baseline. Let's say it kicks off in 2028, and Canada decides to get involved on the US side (use whatever reason you want). So it's the US, Canada, Australia (NZ sits this one out), SK, Japan and Taiwan vs China. The other regional players...

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    He's insinuating that Israel influenced the Bush decision to kick off the second gulf war, which led to regional instability, which led to the rise of ISIS, which led to US missions in Syria.

    You don't and you can't, and anything you could put in the water would be effectively useless in modern warfare. Perhaps a ship that has nothing but basic civilian level systems plus a large mission bay and flight deck for drone warfare, but that thing isn't going to survive very long once you...

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    What's crazy is that after he won the nomination, a bunch of notable Republicans like Steve Toth (meaning not just random twitter trolls, but yes there were lots of those too) who came out and called Telerico "evil".

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    I don't know if you've seen the conspiracy theories on social media that claim Netanyahu is dead, but I saw a really funny meme today that said: "If Netanyahu is dead, who is running America?!"

    I don't know why I didn't realize this before now, but this really starting to feel like just the Americans version of the vaunted "3 day special military operation".

    Yea... The 10 year time span from when they laid down steel in 2025 to fully mission capable in 2035, while depressing is, I fear, realistic.

    Canadian River Class Destroyer Megathread

    Just out of curiosity, what is everyone's assessment (i.e. "guess") of the year when: 1. we actually have an RCD that can actually be deployed to conduct constabulary and diplomatic missions? and 2. we actually have an RCD that can go on an actual overseas deployment? Ie. we have a fully...

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    How is it the only explanation that makes sense? First, the massive increase in illegal immigration int he early 2020s (we can use that term now... sigh) was the result of a combination of post-COVID economic instability in Latin America, worsening political and criminal violence is several...
