  1. Pituffik is in the middle of nowhere even by Greenland standards.
  2. Actually Maher is pretty tough on Democrats as well, but how would you know.
  3. The Vances went to Greenland but no one wanted to see them. They spent 4 hours at the US base at Pituffik, made a speech to US service people and flew home. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3y3vdvdggo
  4. Then it's a good thing we are busting them. Hopefully they are doing something about the amount of cocaine, crystal meth and guns that come north.
  5. How do you put classified markings on some dumb f*cks mouth?
  6. The Brits do but their carriers are stuck with the F-35B because they were built to only handle STOVL fighters. Wonder if they are regretting that.
  7. Yes I know but like us, they selected their systems before Trump was elected. In view of our new relationship with the US do we still want ships who's primary purpose is to protect US carrier groups.
  8. This is a mob that uses X and Truth Social to announce government policy. A screw up like this should be no surprise and I doubt it will be the last.
  9. We'll see. It's a new era, Canada hasn't seen this kind of threat for 150 years.
  10. More civilized for staters.
  11. It will take time but how long will depend on how much effort and money is put into it. Europe already manufactures 3 very capable Gen 4.5 fighters that still have a lot of upgrade potential and are working on 6 Gen aircraft. They certainly have the industrial and technological capability to build whatever they need. Canada needs to work on partnerships with Europe rather than the US when it comes to major systems. Too bad there isn't a BAE Canada like there is in Australia so we didn't have to partner with Lockmart to build the Type 26's. We should also reconsider some of the US systems that are going into those ships.
