If the annexation of Canada ultimately results in the nuclear annihilation of the USA, Ill call it a draw.

Well it would sort this

They're Mounties, changed just enough to avoid any kind of legal action.

Maybe to you, but to me, they're Texas Rangers.

No thank you.

They realized what they had done and unleashed and decided "Nuking it from orbit is the only solution"

Famously common sights in Canada

YTZ, this is not directed at you, because I know that you know:

Buying the Gripens requires the US to approve the sale, because the it contains US tech.

How does that free us from the grip of the US?

I do not know how to make this any clearer to the Gripen fanboys.

@ytz pretty much nailed it. The whole sovereignty thing is a bit of a distraction that people have lobbed into the mix. If we wanted sovereignty, we'd have to go ask Dassault for Rafales.

Rafale the only reasonable option that is not controlled by the US, but that has categorically proved interoperable up to and including integrated operations from a USN nuclear carrier.

 

[GK .Dundas]

It could be, but that would require either the French Government paying for to integrate American weapons ,sidewinder and ANRAMM ( SP?) the sparrow replacement. And the various air to ground weapons .
The manufacturer has made abundantly clear they're not going to pay for it.

There are different levels of interoperability.

 

[Good2Golf]

There are different levels of interoperability.

Absolutely there are, but Rafale M is quantitatively more interoperable than Gripen E, would you agree?

 

[SupersonicMax]

Absolutely there are, but Rafale M is quantitatively more interoperable than Gripen E, would you agree?

Not necessarily.

 

[Good2Golf]

Not necessarily.

Mindful that we never operated a CF-188 from a CVN AFAIK, what would you say are the interoperability +/- of both the Rafale and Gripen?
