There is definitly a military solution, the real question is whether or not the West cares enough to follow through on it. You don't need to own the Iranian coast, you just need to keep killing them until the people shooting at tankers decide living is worth more than "death to America"... It...

Spending cuts to entitlements and luxuries in order to increase defence spending is unpopular...

I'll take a poke at the points above. 1. I believe this is already happening to an extent. 2. There is only one NATO HQ in America, and since it's pretty new relocating it wouldn't be the end of the world. 3. That limits American ability to project power in Europe and Asia, hardly a...

Too far back for me, I got here in '19. Edit: Oh God... Why didn't anyone think of diverting through traffic out of the core rather than just adding lanes?

That this topic is pretty cleanly split along partisan and rural/urban lines indicates that most are likely approaching it from a partisan perspective, rather than considering it on it's merits alone. Faster and easier commuting between the largest cities in the country is a good thing. Even...

I did in fact know the people who made the decisions, and was directly told by one of those people that the reasoning was so that people like them wouldn't be able to get into the trade. I happen to have spent the last few years in "NDHQ" working to fix the issues those people created. I don't...

The dangerous thing is we look at CFAT and forget that education requirements also create issues. For several years, and maybe even to this day, I didn't meet the requirements to be in my occupation. The idiots in charge back in the mid-00's decided that grade 12 math was a minimum requirement...

Both sides are so keen to score points for their side that I don't trust a word either says. There is a whole drama about someone only getting $500 for the AR, then they admit it was a stripped lower that was only on the list for $500... When the collection, buy-out starts, we will maybe get...

I prefer to be pleasantly surprised when things go well, rather than upset when they go poorly. Lol

When kids live in a world of doom scrolling and the offical narrative from authorities being our white colonial settlers nations are inherently evil, it's not hard to see why vulnerable youth would fall into NVE.

Interesting often isn't positive. They may be evaluating new ways to force compliance administratively, rather than just relying on firearms owners being honest, law abiding citizens.

@FJAG pointed out valid uses for troops in Canada, that had nothing to do with sandbags. Though, filling sandbags will likely continue to be a CAF tasking for the foreseeable future, regardless of the component. It makes more sense to have Res F Infantry, armoured, artillery, etc., filling...

Imagine if the CA created a division entirely dedicated to domestic defence, and assigned that very real task to the A Res. I bet they'd be overjoyed to have an active role in defending Canada.

What are you protecting in Canada with a UGV? The context of my argument was @Kirkhill's suggestion that we could recruit 500,000 people for employment within in Canada. Are the Red Hordes going to pour across the arctic into Yukon, NWT, or Nunavut? We need better ISR, more aircraft, ships...

Can you repost the text of the other posts int he thread? I don't have twitter so I can't read the thread. As others have said, a fire like that would get real hot real fast. Even with boundaries all around the fire quickly to contain it, the heat could overwhelm them and force them to back...

500,000 in Canada to do what? There is no realistic scenario where we will need half a million people in uniform to defend Canadian soil. Defence of Canada needs lots of high tech kit and highly trained specialists to operate it. It doesn't need 400, 000 Pte Riflemen.

Even those Canadian's who's families had moved a generation or two earlier than that still felt like part of the Empire. These days we would be unlikely to find a million Canadians willing to put on the uniform to go fight in Europe or Asia.

That's not going to happen. No American government is going to send their political rivals to an international court to face justice for fear it would happen to them after their term.

I'm guessing he doesn't particularly care about the position of a leader that will never hold power. My guess is that he is just there to maintain connection to the national party in the event he wants to make a leadership run at a later date.

It's only a war crime if you lose, or someone else has the power to hold you to account. Who is powerful enough to hold America to account, and is also interested in preventing war crimes? I don't think the American people care about war crimes all that much, as it's been more than 150 years...
