We are well and truly screwed no matter who or what we want to rely on.

It's going to be what - mid April before the MEU units are in theatre?  I voted option 1, but also the last option is viable.

That's also why you hear so few Canadian CEOs, who are federally regulated say anything publicly. Very few of them are bilingual.

As always, the best and brightest rarely end up in positions of power. A very simple requirement to be able to speak French at a toddler level is too much for these incompetent morons.

You are paid millions a year and you can't do this elementary school easy bullshit that any 8 year old could do? What a disgrace.

They mainly come from the US or were educated in American universities.  And federally regulated companies rarely pay their CEOs millions a year.

I voted spec ops, but I was torn between that and limited objectives that stay that way.  What pushed be towards the latter is the noise about taking a couple of the mid-Gulf islands that Iran owns but the UAE claims (Taub and Abu Musa).  They're far enough away from Iran proper to be able to defend effectively without more forces, are somewhat strategic in that they're two small airfields in the middle of the Gulf, and would satisfy the Robber Baron in Chief's anachronistic desire to possess something.

Oh interesting. I guess that's an alternative to the "take Kharg Island" potential scenario for how the HEU / Airborne might be used.

Conflict in Mali and other parts of the Sahel is ongoing indeed.

There was a similar rumor and data going around the US. That somehow there was a big increase in Gen Z going to church. I found that pretty laughable. I go to a church and there sure as fuck aren't any Gen Z showing up there. Or any other church I am familiar with.

Granted that is anecdotal but the probability Gen Z are just far more religious outside of Texas seemed unlikely.

We'll strike something to show how big our dicks are and get drawn in.
