Been reading Canada's new Security Strategy
I wish the commentariat understood the difference between Policy, a Strategy and a Plan
I am glad not to see any elements of a plan
In due course, however, I do want to see the supporting plans ( Objs achieved by alloc ress over time)

Every State pursues National Power. That's not an excuse for "how" you do things.
So that's not the issue.
The issue(s) are when you do it through untrustworthiness, illegal acts, corruption, and quite simply ....being a dick
The never ending efforts to bully Canada and Canadians into capitulation is reflective of a gross misunderstanding of our national character and culture, but typical of this type of individual and administration who values nothing other than their own power and wealth

Surely nobody was surprised by the initial transactional opportunism ?

With US throttling of Starlink/shield sp to Ukraine it is reasonable to examine F35 dependencies such as: Msn Data; ALIS-ODIN; In flt links; GPS M Code
Can POTUS stop / restrict that sp: Yes
Would it ground the fleet: Not immediately but would increasingly degrade it over time
This thread is an excellent example of what I referred to previously
Uninformed speculation that does nothing to help the dead, injured and their families
The most accurate post in the thread is likely the Ad on Muscle Builder which speaks volumes
Lots of posts wrt the Wainwright tragedy
As a Patricia I am hugely grateful for what was clearly a remarkable response in the moment and thereafter
Many families are now facing the worst of moments. We can do little to make things better but it can be made worse .... 1/2

This has been a devastating weekend in Wainwright. While this tragedy continues to unfold publicly, I urge you to remember that for the families involved this is a very personal tragedy. Please remember that as you tweet and share news and updates about this event.
The circle is complete. The USA is not just financing Russian War it is now threatening Ukraine
I'd like to say this was unimaginable but... it wasn't
Embargo and Tarriffs against Ukraine will be next
"He better damn well stop!"
President Donald Trump delivers a blunt warning to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy over strikes on Russian oil refineries, saying he specifically told him not to target facilities that supply diesel fuel to the global market.
Trump argues the attacks risk creating worldwide fuel shortages that could hurt American farmers and ranchers.

Another way to think about Trump announcement today: If he increased US diesel imports from Canada by 4%, he would gain as much fuel as from this Russia deal. But the Canadians are global super-villains, so who wants to buy from them when you could enrich Putin instead?
Trump is now funding the war against Ukraine
I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter. Additionally, based on the condition of their Diesel Refineries, Russia will then deliver, within a short period of time, 3,000,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel. Between our TOTAL CONTROL of the Strait of Hormuz, and this great announcement on Russian Energy, Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST! Lower prices for Americans, especially our Great Farmers, Ranchers, and Truckers, is my Greatest Priority. This is a very big and important announcement. Additionally, it must be understood, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

The fact that this surprises anyone is surprising! The general public just doesn’t understand the global operating environment…
This makes me sad
Many of my favorite Operators have been bearded weirdos
But much like forcing out General Donahue it is readily apparent that excellence is not the standard
This is going to play hell with selection
