Arguably never was, but certainly after 2011 it for sure wasn’t.

Is the U.S. trolling Iran to get them to conduct a Stateside attack, to justify a SoE and justify postponing the mid-terms UFN?

I think you are conflating reliability with subservience. The proposal you’ve formulated is transactionally lopsided to USA, and USA first acted counter to its own initiated and approved deals, so the issue of reliability os in fact the inverse of what you propose. I’d like to see more press...

This part I have no issue with at all, agree in principle. He did get that movement going, but to be honest, I see more residual resistance from the provinces unphuquing themselves than anything the Feds have yet to do. The only other comment I’d make is that I think the Feds should be moving...

Protecting tender egos is well worth the additional cost. Cargo trebuchets, transporting the potash aerially from Belarus, over Poland via the Suwałki gap, into Kaliningrad, and thereafter via U.S. registered cargo ships…easy peasy. 👍🏼

Hint: this country’s trade deficit with China is greater than half the entire amount of imports this country buys from Canada. https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c5700.html

Do you mean Canada ‘cozying’ up to China more than Trump will this week? 🍿 The U.S. buys more than ten times goods from China than Canada does, in fact the U.S. is the largest buyer of Chinese goods, so which country is the coziest with China?

For what it’s worth, David Cameron is really, really sorry about how it all played out… https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/20/world/europe/david-cameron-brexit-sorry.html

Drone use could be considered like Cessna 172 to A380, but yeah. 👍🏼

Why have NORAD as well? Or FVEYs?

Yup, anyone who thinks that things will stabilize when Trump moves on, up or down, is fooling themselves.

Marathon, you say?

OGBD, I suspect you’re right, certainly in principle. We’ve already achieved “‘The Onion’ is more accurate than most mainstream news” phase, and now we have Witkoff and Kushner coming back from Moscow saying Ukraine needs to be more conciliatory in resolving their aggression against...

Trump’s take in the agreement: If Trump determined that Canada was being adversarial and block them and he also wanted to let Putin conduct friendship exercises on Greenland, the agreement would appear to support it.

You should become a policy/treaty influencer to help those unfortunate souls less able to appreciate the complexities of transnational multi-articular agreements. I’d follow you. 👍🏼

…as opposed to the training sponsor?

I’m looking forward to reading the ‘new deal’ and seeing how similar it is to the 1951 Agreement…I suspect that correlatively, r≈1.0

Which ones do you think are most relevant to being pivotal to the replacement of the U.S. as the keeper/administrator of the Treaty?

A couple of the 14 articles…

If only we had discussed North Atlantic Treaty, including references specifying, amongst others, Articles 10 and 11, over a month ago… 😉
