Spain scraps plans to buy F-35 fighter jets

Canada changed its long range plans before Trump was elected this time for various public reasons but quietly stated it was lack of trust due to Trump and his childish ways

That's tripe.

Trump just appointed as scheduled the US 4-star as the new NATO Supreme Allied Commander of military operations.

Trump also just appointed as scheduled the US 4-star new commanding general of the Europe-Africa Command with its HQ in Italy.

Trump further appointed as scheduled the US 3-star as new commanding general of US Army Europe.

NATO new SecGen Mark Rutte the conservative former PM of Netherlands says he accepts Trump saying Trump will not make any sudden or unannounced reductions of US forces on the continent. Rutte says Trump advised him he's pleased that NATO member nations have agreed to seek a 5% increase in defense spending.

Your post is Canadian tired and behind on what's happening. I'm pleased to help you out of it.

With the technology in these planes they need 'maintenance' after every sortie.

With Trump wavering and changing his mind like a blushing teen aged bride, there is no way anyone will commit to anything US as there is no assurance it will be there tomorrow.

The way Trump hates Canada (it's our medical system - he knows he can't compete) it wouldn't be beyond reason to sell us the jest and then deny or super charge for deny the maintenance Let's face it, he doesn't generate trust.

Beside the Mirage is a better jet and lower priced AND we get three already flying.

The mirage is not a better jet than the F35. I know you want that really to be the case as you have had a demonstrated long hatred of the US but facts are facts.

That’s quite the fantasy world you live in there.

You believe that?


I've heard similar many times. Meanwhile I know some CF members attached to the local artillery company on Burrard. They don't speak out of school but in attitude and gesture their affinity to NATO is doubtful.

That you think that opinions of some “supposed” attitudes and gestures from some Canadian soldiers has any bearing on the future of NATOs existence is hilarious and just shows you are not living in the real world.

Oh?


How ****ing arrogant.

Guerilla warfare and US military are a bad mix. A handful of pajama clad teenagers kicked your ass.

Besides, Americans are wusses and can't handle cold.

And don't forget, we have friends, You don't

Watching a Canadian acting all poutraged is very entertaining.
Even more so as you have already demonstrated your grasp of reality is no longer that firm.
