QuoteGerman wargame simulating Baltic attack dismissed as 'insulting' and 'nonsense'
A German exercise simulating a Russian incursion into the Baltic states that found Moscow could destroy NATO's credibility and "establish domination over the Baltics" in a "couple of days" has been dismissed as "frankly insulting" by the Estonian ambassador to the United Kingdom.
The exercise was organized in December by Germany's Die Welt newspaper with the German Wargaming Center of the Helmut-Schmidt University of the German Armed Forces, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Sixteen former senior German and NATO officials, lawmakers and prominent security experts role-played a scenario set in October 2026.
The game's results showed that with "absent American leadership, Russia managed within a couple of days to destroy the credibility of NATO and establish domination over the Baltics, by deploying an initial force of only some 15,000 troops."
The scenario imagined that Russia used the pretext of a humanitarian crisis in the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad to seize the Lithuanian city of Marijampole.

If just some of that money came to me I'd have a fabulous looking home and do little to no corruption!
I am trying to interpret whether the dog is ashamed of his master's deed or the decor here, really.![]()
Quote from: Grey Fox on February 08, 2026, 07:25:32 PMQuoteBill C-3 represents a fundamental shift in Canada's citizenship framework. It retroactively recognizes Canadian citizenship by descent for persons born prior to December 15, 2025, who are in the second or subsequent generation born abroad. Bill C-3 also recognizes the right of persons, who were adopted by Canadian citizens prior to December 15, 2025, to seek a grant of Canadian citizenship. In addition, it restores Canadian citizenship to persons who failed to retain Canadian citizenship under Section 8 of the previous legislation

Since Valmy and his children were born before December 15th 2025, that would make them automatically citizens if the proper documentation can be obtained. No?
