It’s like a hybrid of Game of Thrones and Yellowstone… 😆 At least the LPC does sequel and branch planning. The CPC should consider asking DND if they could load a few staff on AOC so they do better in 2029.

It gets worse than that…for ‘specialist’ Captains like pilots, there are 20 IPCs. Regular Force pay by rank - Pilots

All, don’t worry, as soon as Carney makes the formal Federal election announcement, the Canadian Election 2025 thread will be reopened. Milnet.ca Staff

True, but returning to Adams’ point of concern…the equilateral triangle of Executive, Legislative and Judicial is becoming a lop-sided Troika… 😔

And helps China suss out how malleable America is, by Russia, and thus how likely to dump support for nations in the 9-line SSC region.

Dammit… 😆 Yes, Lot.

This could go a lot of places, Chinese super thread, COVID-9, etc., but figured here as best as any, particularly as Canada had Chinese Peoples Liberation Army bioscientists present inside the highest-security levels of a Western biology laboratory...

PP should have planned more than one step ahead. Peter Mackay would have…

Nothing nefarious (for now), our first four are Block 15 aircraft, and the next 12 as Block 16, and the -85 doesn’t hit the line until Block 17.

I don’t buy it. This is the weakest explanation of what Trimpmis achieving… I’m not sure anyone is seeing such a signal other than O’Leary and maybe Musk. While he cozies up to Putin. Yeah, whatever… Well, that’s either true, and King Charles is a modern day sell out to a...

In interesting interview with David Frum on aspects of Trump and his administration and the difference between chaos (under Trump as 45) and disaster (as Trump 47)…there were checks and balances in 2016-2020…now, even the American legislature doesn’t push back against bad ideas, let alone anyone...

EU closing the door on US defense companies…this will impact their top line. America is getting in to Phase 2 of FAFO. Also, IK getting a bit more Brexit FAFO Phase 2. The article notes that while the US defense industry has historically received 2/3 of the EU’s defence funding, the EU’s new...

To be honest, no. The U.S. is in the middle of breaking something that wasn’t broken, so no, I don’t trust that the US has even its own best interests at stake.
