Trump’s statements usually have to be filtered through motive first, and in this case the “security” angle feels like a convenient wrapper. The US already has basing access in Greenland and full NATO coverage in the North Atlantic. If this was really about defense, annexation wouldn’t even be on...

Good post. I read that Lalonde piece too and I agree. The KSS-III just makes way more sense for Canada. We need long range, endurance and real blue-water punch, not some small Euro sub built for the Baltic. The Korean design has VLS, lithium batteries and room for long Arctic patrols. And that’s...

I did not know there was a music thread. That's cool.

Hellish nightmare.

Europe’s still in warm-up mode while the U.S. can churn out weapons like it’s 1943 with even better logistics. Ukraine would be stupid not to tap American stockpiles if they want to survive long enough for Europe to catch up. Credit where it’s due: Biden actually got the assembly lines moving...

Interesting take. Basically starving the bear until it eats itself. But here's the catch: cornered animals tend to lash out, not collapse gracefully. Betting on economic collapse to trigger regime change in a nuclear-armed state with a history of enduring brutal conditions (Tsarist famines...

Exactly. It’s like two drunk guys with grenades duct-taped to their chests arguing over who farted first. Sure, they might throw a few punches, maybe break a chair or two, but if either one actually pulls the pin, we’re all just glowing dust arguing in radioactive group chats. And yeah, blaming...

I think you're spot on. The U.S. presence in Syria has functioned less as a counterterrorism mission and more as a geopolitical anchor, one that indirectly sustains Israeli strategic depth in the region. As that presence erodes, Israel’s reactive posture increasingly looks like a scramble to...

Well, the deal brings in critical investment and cements strategic ties with the U.S., but the extent of legal and economic concessions raises valid concerns. Prioritizing one foreign partner so heavily, especially in such a long-term, open-ended framework, could limit Ukraine’s flexibility and...

How has the DPRK Ground Forces performance been since they entered the war?

You’re so blindly biased that it’s clear you’re only seeing what fits your narrow perspective and ignoring everything else.

The situation in Syria is complicated, with a lot of moving parts involving multiple countries, including Israel, Iran, and even Russia. It could be more about regional tensions than anything else. We’re getting a lot of alarmist rhetoric with little concrete information. It may be more about...

Cool

Makes me want to play Squad
