    2026 US-Denmark Tensions/End of NATO

    If anyone is interested, DAF5347 is just descending into NUUK, which probably means DAF5348 has already landed. What they were carrying; who knows? But most likely personal/equipment related to the exercises the Danish Armed Forces have previously announced and mentioned earlier in this thread...

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    I was stationed in NDHQ at that time; a lot of people I worked with thought it was really stupid, but someone in NDHQ wanted to score some brownie points with the local politicians.

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    Just wondering that when Canada starts receiving are new submarines, will they also need a special defence, similar to what the RCAF wants? Will there be the one trade and you get posted between RCAF and RCN bases? Or two separate trades?

    A Deeply Fractured US

    From what I gleaned is that 1/3 have no criminal record; 2/3 have a minor criminal records (e.g. traffic violations), and of that 2/3, only 5% have violent criminal records. And yes, technically being in a country illegally would make you a criminal.

    A Deeply Fractured US

    True, but they are dealing with criminals on a daily basis. On the other hand, the majority of people being detained by DHS/ICE agents are not criminals. Depending on the reports about a third of people of people arrested by ICE don't even have a criminal record! And of the other two-thirds...

    A Deeply Fractured US

    But ordinary police officers doing their normal duties are not masked and are at a lot more of risk then ICE officers who move from city to city. Examples please!
