Setting aside Russia's possible response, not sure why China would need to distract those countries who would care about Taiwan from a move in Siberia. Chinese administration would likely be an improvement, especially in urban areas and townships.

What would the odds be of Turkish military assistance of some form?

Gun tractors, guns, and some booms around the Legislature are just about tailor-made for public engagement. Shame the openings are usually (always?) during the week.

Don't say that too loud, or someone will want to double-hat the things as SPGs.

Only slightly more overgrown looking than the SLR/FN. Did a quick google: same length, more or less, but more than twice the weight.

Don't know how universal this is, but there's plenty of HH stores in BC in strip malls and very urban areas, including Davie Street in Vancouver. Davie Village Home Hardware · Vancouver, British Columbia Their lumber yard offerings, in locations where they have a yard, are much more variable...

Something to be said for all the openness and active inclusion from a security standpoint.

And that market consciously searching for new suppliers in (likely) every sector is a unique opportunity.

Had forgotten about that; thank you. Expect some of the same points re: shifts in workplace compensation, safety, etc. apply to urban work and urban life.

To quibble: there's lots of those in Greater Vancouver, and on Vancouver Island, along with a healthy contingent of young women who enjoy the same things. They also like living in or within easy reach of a major metropolis. What's really disappeared are the masses of young men doing hardening...

Wonder where the compounds-in-the-woods crowd land as far as alignment with a country whose federal security services make the US "Fed" of legend look like a nonintrusive, benevolent friend of the heavily armed and opted-out.

Setting aside, specifically, Trump, Russia waving their rare earths around sounds like a perfect reason to keep hammering them in Ukraine. If they're making noises about cooperative ventures now, they'll be even more willing after (hypothetically) getting knocked around in the spring. Can't...

For extra historical fun, I get the impression that, further back, "cruiser" was used as something of a catch-all description for naval vessels engaged in commerce disruption, though the vessels could be anything from 74-gun ships down to sloops.

Maybe not glamorous, but your description sounds like it would appeal to lots of shade tree mechanics and other tinkerers.

That's a whole other issue! I was thinking of providing additional Arctic training opportunities for non-Arctic NATO countries, in addition to whatever's currently being laid on in Scandinavia.

New at-home spending suggests, if nothing else, that you might feel more confident sending kit to Ukraine.

Expanded or refreshed training establishments, too, to compliment the Nordic countries' Arctic training. For balance, see about getting a routine Canadian serial (or individual billets) on French jungle warfare training.

Would it be worth inviting the French to establish a Rafale presence as an initial move?

If I'm reading things correctly, when does the Korean-for-sailors DLN course launch?
