Those were not criteria mentioned in the buy and sell…..

We’ve been pumping billions into that fucking company and got nothing but more whining. If the Americans get what they want we will get the P-8a that is what we will get. I hope the Americans get their way.
Reading the buy and sell I didn’t think the P-8 would fit. I wold be thrilled to be...
China will run out of ammunition as fast as the US, Japan and Korea. Their fleet will also run out of AAW as fast as the US.
What asymmetrical threats can the China use that the US is not also already using.
Decapitating the Chinese state and having CGina pushed back to the first islands...
And then what. The old saying was will the US risk Chicago to defend Frankfurt in a nuclear war. Will the US let the CHinese overrun a Japanese city. Will the US lose a war without expending all of its tactical weapons (B61-12 and probably W-84 in a renewed GLCM). And the Chinese will respond...
Why would it be draw out? The US and Chinese military will run out of ballistic and cruise missiles very quickly. How many JASSM/LRASM misfiles do the US have?

World war 3 on the Pacific will be just like world war 3 in Central Europe: You’ll flight with only you have on hand. Esquimalt, Victoria Shipyards and port of Vancouver (not to mention YVR) will be destroyed. You’ll you need an escort to protect those ships. The Americans have their docks...
I don’t hate DavIe. It is a degraded, underused capacity. If they can upgrade they would be useful for CSC refits but who knows.
I don’t know if there are many people who operate freelance tanking. 11 years of government, across 2 parties state that Canada needs 2 military capable AORs. Asterix...
The government only wants two military AORs. If there is so much demand, David should build it and sell their services to international partners without federal funding.
Seriously?
If we follow the trail, canada has:
1. Bought the only ASW frigate in the actual competition, fulfilling NATO and implied US treaties for shipping interdiction. Insert BMD Defense as a plus.
2. bought a NORAD compliant fighter, per US treaties.
3. buying the MQ-9B drone for North American...
I’d be surprised if they purchased the P-8. Peer pressure is a shitty reason for buying military equipment. My read is that the Americans want something that works and does the job.
Also the P-8 will close before we buy it...
