On why the US military cannot be everyone’s hope to check unconstitutional ordered use of force domestically or internationally: https://warontherocks.com/2026/03/the-burden-that-should-not-be-theirs-how-congress-turned-the-military-into-the-last-check-on-illegal-war/

Looks like Russia still struggling to win friends. Good.

PM’s newest statement:

So, the attack on Iran was a negotiation pressure tactic or a hope CoA?

Europe seems to be favouring 40 mm for its future mid caliber cannon. The US Army seems more interested in 50 mm to 75 mm which is getting outside the autocannon sizes.

I could understand CV90-120 to support CV90-35 or CV90-40, because that can integrate as a common fleet at the unit or sub-unit level (which is a win for sustainment at that level of echelon). But why would a country (Canada) that has no other CV90 type vehicle want to pursue a pseudo-tank...

I’m not tracking Trump or his admin having had any involvement in that Cuban shooting nor any follow-up of significance. I get that there is a US nexus and Trump is president, but is it not more than a little off topic?

A new reason that he wants to start bombing Iran as quickly as possible now. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/us/politics/trump-epstein-files.html

We need to prepare for the US to be a longlasting existential threat until it shows that it is not. Assuming a prompt and stable return to old normals is a hope CoA, and I do hope that is what we see … but we cannot plan on a hope CoA.

I don’t think we will need to defeat the US militarily, but otherwise yes. The healing between our countries would definitely be accelerated by substantial systemic governance reform and a repentant population in the US. Trump is just a symptom of a broken US system that allowed him to happen...

It took about 130 years, two world wars, and the threat of a third such war with Soviets to get over 1812. Recovery from MAGA might be quicker, but it’s still decades away.

Trump's Global Tariffs were never about Canada. So Trump's Global Tariff Tantrum will not be about Canada either.

He’s upping the global tariffs even more. 10% to 15% now. https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps-tariffs/article/trump-says-hes-increasing-the-worldwide-tariff-from-10-to-15-per-cent/

$40B investment in concentration camps planned. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2026/02/13/ice-detention-center-expansion/

A positive outcome, but still needs to pass Senate & not get vetoed. https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps-tariffs/article/us-house-backs-resolution-to-end-trumps-tariffs-on-canada/

Trump didn’t propose a federal elections system. He proposed that the Republicans take it over … he proposed a single system controlled by one of the parties. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0mke841zj0o

Those are both jobs that our enemies and allies employ MBT to achieve. Canada’s cavalry doctrine was spawned to make sense when CA had armour regiments rolling in TAPV. Then Medium Cavalry became the hope CoA to get those regiments into something more capable when we did not expect we would...

Running into walls turns out less effective than tripping out of windows. https://apnews.com/article/immigration-enforcement-minneapolis-hospitals-32cd5ca61d495e155d43b7cfd5e563b9

He walked that back out of greed. He tasted power and wanted to keep it.
