    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    There are numerous small island s and one large one right at the bend. The large on would make sense, but not with only about 1200 marines to actually land and fight with, so they might land, and seize the smaller islands first. Clearing them of any military related stuff. There were protests on...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    I think the claims of the builders not based in reality. Some amount of heating and cooling is going to be needed and the deferred maintenance is going to hit them every time they come into port/depot ship.

    They may avoid it as talking about Japan strategic failures and war record, might not go so well.

    That's the why they want them. Competent leaders there start thinking they can do better than their leaders......

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

    Sometimes luck favours the bad guy. They might have been able to optically track the aircraft and then predict where it was going, fire a missile and when it's close enough it will be able to lock on. Could be the USAF was flying in and out along the same routes and that was also noted.

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    Interesting that some of the richest nations on earth have not really spent very much on defending their infrastructure or preparing for such an event, even as Ukraine has shown exactly what Shahed style drones can do.

    Continental Defence Corvette

    In TC, you were expected to be close to your budget allocation, if you had a surplus in your regional program, it was pooled and used to cover regional programs in TC that were forced over budget by events. Managers were not punished for saving money. This was the complete opposite of DFO where...

    Honestly not that sad for Qatar, they are big on the FA side of things and never get the FO bit.

    Pearl Harbour and the Japanese is not the flex he thinks it is. At least Japan had the "Decisive Battle" strategy that they hoped would follow soon after the attack.

    Self Defence in Canada (split from Gun Control 2.0)

    In a safe there is no requirement for a trigger lock. If you take a closet and modify it for firearm storage and strengthen it, then that can count for safe storage as well. There was some case law on that point quite sometime ago. Keep in mind that if a gun is in "use" ie you are cleaning or...

    Not to mention your social media history. The less you talk about your plans on any social media (including here) the better.

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    Here in southern BC we get all our oil from western Canada, which is refined in Burnaby. Even the refined fuel products coming from the US (Cherry Point) uses Western Canadian feedstocks via the Kinder Morgan pipeline. As fuel consumption slows and storage fills up, I can see price at the pump...

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    I can see the IRGC losing power, but reappearing as a full out Mafia after the fact. With many of the low level becoming the muscle. Israel has created quite the churn in the leadership and that also means that a lot of the money is not available as access to foreign bank accounts disappearing...

    Self Defence in Canada (split from Gun Control 2.0)

    A judge and two highly experienced lawyers could not figure it out in one high profile case and that was in courtroom setting with a lot of time to think about things.

    British Columbia NDP Majority Government 2024-(no later than) 2029

    My dad was hardcore NDP and would vote for them if they ran a goat. At this point I think I too would prefer the goat.
