You mean they are Communists?

Or Lake Michigan? Right Jimmy?

Yes. That turned out very well the last time, right?

Inquiring minds want to know!

We don't have "double-O-agents", but we could continue to have double-doubles.

No! No! No! And no! This is about the NORTHERN SEA ROUTE. How many times do we have to explain the difference to people???? It's the route to the North of Russia, and, BTW, it is the shortest one from Asia to Europe. A lot shorter than the North West Passage (Canadian). Russia wants to...

For those who would be unaware: The nice boat on the right, with a blue hull and white superstructure is the retired royal yacht HMY Britannia, now a museum.

There goes my speculation. :oops:

Non citizens. And remember, only service guarantees citizenship!

I think it's a Dave Cullen picture, but I could be wrong. :)

At this point, I don't even know if I should laugh or cry.

Don't know the answer, but speculating: 540 was the pennant number of HMCS Beauharnois, a WWII corvette. Made it through the war and was sold to a private company in 1946 (thus 80 years ago this year) and was used to illegally smuggle European Jews into Palestine in the events that led to the...

And repeated the feat in WW1 by bottling up the Hochseeflote in its own German bases. Some say that the Battle of Jutland was a victory for the German, but it was the only time during the war that it attempted to come out and breach the British blockade. They had their battle, did not breach...

I understand that, but how many of those need replacement and how often? Do they have to replace every bolt and nut every time they "open the hood"? That just looks like huge employment of consumables to me compared to other planes I know of.

It's not what Trump says that matters, it's what the wording of the Agreement is. If it is as PPCLI Guy indicates above, then the US can't limit NATO countries from operating there, nor can it be used by the US to "invite" a non NATO country. On the other hand, the US would have a veto on...

There are only about 1400 of those things currently built. To lose one million spare parts in five years and still have enough make it to the final users for the planes to fly, how many god damn spare parts do you need every year to keep those damn things flying ????

Fine, but if free trade and opening the SLOC are our two things, we have to get a Navy that can do that - and that's more than tripling what we have right now, likely to about 60 ships, with aircraft carriers and submarine support. Hell! That's almost what we had at the height of the cold war in...

Have you been speaking with my wife behind my back?

But just look at Montreal, and I am sure most large cities are the same: 12 different Ares units, 9 of which are located in seven armouries located within a six Km circle around downtown - where I suspect most of their members don't live. How about two super armouries on the island (East end...
