The F-35 is a poison pill for Canadian defence sovereignty against a hostile America. We cannot win against an invasion, but with the Gripen we can make it a phyrric victory for them.

Ya know who HASN'T been invaded any time in the past fifty years? North Korea. Wanna guess why?

    There’s literally nothing there worth fighting over. Like zero value whatsoever.

    They’re sitting on $20 trillion in rare earth minerals and prior to NK demonstrating nuclear capability the US was ratcheting up their sabre rattling.

    There is every reason to have nuclear weapons.

    Rare earth minerals aren’t terribly rare. China has lots And they’re way easier to deal with than NK.

    The US isn’t forward thinking enough to worry about it. But if they had oil…. The felon understands oil.
