and speaks french for sure

slight side-track but perhaps germane to the discussion. The certification exam taken by an RPN is for all intents a duplicate of the one taken by an RN in Ontario. Perhaps going to a 3 year programme is another way of trying to justify universities instead of colleges without gaining any real...

if they are willing to spend the money, this is true however, how many years will it take to build up a force capable of standing up against Russia. Only Poland and to a certain extent France maintained any kind of a reasonable military capability; relying upon the stars and stripes just as we...

never happen. The EU would never tolerate all those potential pollution sources. The ghost ships travel through EU waters a lot.

Is there a 'finder's fee' that goes to the vets. if they have a contract?

I think we tried that and it didn't work. We were supposed to have a pre-positioned tank regiment in Norway but it didn't take long for those tanks to be brought home again if they ever did get to Oslo. That was Pierre's big idea

None taken. There are arguments both ways and I am certain that more knowledgeable minds than mine have gamed it out. But it is still better to make it as difficult as possible from as far away as possible. That never changes and a couple of subs in the Gulf of St. Lawrence proved that whilst...

Don't know anything about battle tactics but it seems to me that if you dedicate a vehicle to drones all the opposition forces have to do is look for that one vehicle. Perhaps better to operate them remotely from a separated location or use your MBTs as it then becomes a shell game: which tank...

Europe is NA's barbican guarding the eastern side of our moat. (the Atlantic)

Ronald Reagan defeated the former Soviet Union by appearing to create new weapon systems which the Soviets bankrupted themselves trying to match. Perhaps China in particular is using the same tactics on us. Our left wing parties are profligate spenders on all sorts of things; some good some a...

I have never lied to you

until you don't have trained crews when they are needed like us.

They should also be concerned about burn-out of their crews. How many will sign on again after being at sea for extended periods of time, particularly if the pictures regarding the food are in any way correct and with no mail

Except when those same European nations won't allow you to use the bases. Then what? Europe spent decades placating Iran. all it got them was a hole in the ground that contained hundreds of pounds of enriched uranium just one cycle away from being weapons grade. They got Muslims setting up...

agreed but getting into bed with China is not the way to escape Uncle Sam's clutches. I am more inclined to cheer Carney's efforts to develop relationships with the smaller nations whilst staying as much as possible away from both Beijing (for moral, ethical reasons) and the U.S. because of...

when they need it for themselves you will see it go through and not until. They have large untapped reserves themselves that they refuse to develop.

speaking of products, several of my friends from Ghana and such have become very upset because Chinese factories are mass-producing women's clothes that resemble their traditional robes and a very cheap imitation of kente (traditional fabric, patterns). It has reached the point where they as in...

That is a safe move. I can't imagine a product produced in Africa that would damage the Chinese economy even if it was brought in my the shipload every week. Africa has minerals that China needs, they have oil reserves that China could tap and they have excellent wines but, and I don't know a...

Too bad they didn't offer the same assistance to Ukraine

gee. now you won't even believe the machine. You are in deep trouble if the power ever fails. I never said anything about lending money I wrote exclusively about the advise he would probably have given with regards to the direction leadership was heading and the costs involved. I based that...
