Last post by Grey Fox - Today at 09:56:20 PMI don't think China will invade Taiwan anymore. They have too much to lose now that we live in a post attack on Iran world. Amphibious assault on Taiwan will see thousands of Chinese soldiers dying under the drone swarms.
Not controlling Taiwan is less damagable to China than failing to conquer it.
The F35 are planes to participate in NATO and US actions. Not really useful in defending Canada against Russia or The USA. We should buy the bare minimum.

Last post by viper37 - Today at 08:54:52 PMPM says F-35 review ongoing after Norad chief says they're not critical
I am much less enthusiastic about the F-35 than I was before, but not because of that.
The US question has cooled me down, obviously. A capricious trade ally isn't really an ally and we shouldn't depend on them for critical armament that requires regular software updates.
And then... The F-35 wasn't supposed to be sold outside of NATO and Israel. Not for some years to come at least. Now, everyone has F-35. Iran managed to down or damage at least one during this conflict.
And of course, drones have their use on the offense, but they're harder to transport for a country like Canada. And our #1 problems remain Russia, and to a lesser extent maybe, China.
Russia, it's a given they will try to directly attack a NATO country in a near future, even if Ukraine isn't out.
China, it's still a wildcard. Will they really try to invade Taiwan, or will they figure out they have much more to lose now that commerce has resumed with the rest of the world and they are taking the place of the US as economic world leaders?

Last post by Valmy - Today at 07:52:46 PMPalpatine was more subtle. And he at least had to trick people. Our guy just announces he is evil and they cheer.
