    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    Trump is just realizing that he is playing with people with a whole different value set and life outlook and don't fit well into his play book. Frankly he should start taking all the small islands, continue the blockade, sink any small vessel leaving Iranian shores, start flooding the area with...

    Replacing the Subs

    Love to see a picture of the KSS-III and a Victoria alongside just for comparison. I bet if the Korean sub sailors get a tour of the Vic's , they are going to look at the sailors and go "You poor bastards". Also be cool if the Vic and KS-III did an exercise together.

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

    I have had way better service from Veteran Affairs, than the ClusterF*ck that is ESDC and OAS. I elected not to get OAS till 70 and after a year of badgering them to stop it, they still can't and now we got CRA involved and soon a letter to two Ministers and a MP to tell them to unf*ck...

    The Arctic

    Gleaming stuff from the comments, they seemed to have surmised that the government would give them what they wanted, regardless of the local opposition and then spent heavily on that assumption, with it now coming back to bite them. They also have another project in the works, but now no capital...

    Cuba next? (split from Iran, other threads)

    AI response: Cubans primarily access international news through mobile internet data, weekly offline digital media bundles known as el paquete, and independent digital publications operating from abroad. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Because traditional media outlets (television, radio, and national...

    Cuba next? (split from Iran, other threads)

    To be fair the riots started first and Washington had to catch up to them.

    Cuba next? (split from Iran, other threads)

    I suspect that message will resonate more with frustrated people that have been forced to deal with a corrupt government most of their lives. They also get to hear what life is like for Cubans outside of the country. His messaging (in Spanish) is good, localized to known grievances inside the...

    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    New builds are the lifeblood of a shipyard and allows them to upgrade their facilities and methods. Davie has not had much success in attracting non-government work. Seaspan has had a lot of non-government repair work that kept the skills somewhat alive and expertise going.

    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    More advertising like this is needed. Short, sweet, delivered by well-spoken young NCM's showing off their pride and knowledge of their ship.

    Cuba next? (split from Iran, other threads)

    I will argue that most Americans believe that is the goal, just not always the end result.

    Canadian River Class Destroyer Megathread

    Weight and size issues (not to mention costs) The RCD are getting two 30mm guns, these can supplement them. On the AOP's they be a major step up in targeting and self-defence of the afterpart of the ship by replacing the two pintle mounted guns (which could be moved even further to the stern)...

    Mind you, the UK also have colonies and assets scattered across the globe. A working CV with working F-35's is a major force multiplier that can be moved to cover those far flung assets.

    Cuba next? (split from Iran, other threads)

    If the regime continues, other State actors will eventually try to use Cuba as a launching point and it would mean another Cuban missile crisis. The US must spend time and effort making sure that does not happen. Getting rid of their shitty government will help eliminate that issue. Plus make...
