And yes, Ukraine is procuring more tanks - and doing everything it can to keep its current fleet active.

Good lord.

But you can’t articulate what that “rethink” should look like, aside from sweeping statements about equipment that you have no experience or training with?

1937-45.

Welcome to Blockland, population: you.

Well, you’re absolutely wrong.

I’ve known troops with graduate degrees. All officers must have an undergrad degree to be commissioned. Many have post-grad.

Many, many join because they want to serve, not because they “lack options”. This is a horrible myth coming out of the US.

No, “warmonger” is a political term. “Warrior” comes up all the time when talking about military culture, which is why I use it in the piece.

And, objectively, basic (ie: recruit training) has indeed become easier over the years, as have PT standards.

How did that work out for Japan during the most recent unpleasantness?

Oh.

Sure seems so.

Drones Are Winning on YouTube, but… Drone hype doesn’t change how wars are fought.

Did you bother to read the article I posted for you?

What credentials do you have to argue for a specific procurement?

And watching YouTube videos doesn’t count.

Just bought it.

PP was actually pretty supportive from what I have seen, calling for unity.

Smith, on the other hand, is such a sell-out that I wouldn’t be surprised if she had a CIA code name.

I’m on a transatlantic flight from the west coast next week. Are you saying I should read this book? 🤔😁

Canada has combat commitments in Europe and is still part of the UN Command committed to defending South Korea. That’s the role for tanks.

Here’s an article for you. Yes, I wrote it:

You’re exactly correct.

You're as fucking deranged as Trump if you think that.

Like many Canadians, I'm not in the mood to be too accommodating.

Because you were nice, here ‘tis.

American asset says what?

So I get to take the hit on your behalf? I’m sorry, but I’m not a messaging service.

For Canadians, it’s worth clicking on to see what bullshit we’re being sent from Washington.

I’m not a messaging service. Open the link, or don’t.

I was heavily criticized for questioning the Government’s decision to back down on the DST.

Alas, we’re now seeing the results of appeasement at work as Trump demands more and more using the flimsiest of pretexts.

And you’re speaking from your obviously vast experience commanding tanks on the battlefield?

This is utterly deranged. He’s gone off the deep end and this is diatribe is barely in English, let alone a letter to the Head of Government of a G7 country.

Canadians have *had it* with this conman.

If this is true, it might be a chance for Canada to jump on the order and square up our armoured units with a common fleet of brand new tanks - not rebuilds (no matter how capable).
