Canada ... not needing a military is baked into our national identity – and that creates a psychological bind. https://t.co/fnGtisDqRS

For centuries, Canada hasn’t needed to prioritize its military. But the US transformation calls for a Finland-style approach

Every time the Yemeni Armed Forces fire toward Eilat or Tel Aviv, it’s CENTCOM destroyers in the Red Sea and Eastern Med pulling the trigger on SM-3s and SM-6s. Every time Iran arcs a missile barrage, it’s U.S. early warning satellites feeding Israel’s Arrow batteries the firing

The brainless Gallic rooster can't let go of the idea of sending troops to 'Ukraine.' It's been explicitly stated: NO NATO troops as peacekeepers. Russia won't accept such a "security guarantee." But the hoarse, pathetic bird continues to crow to prove it's king of the coop.

Vancouver developers in 2016: Foreign buyers are less than 5% of purchases, calm down everyone… Vancouver developers today: Without foreign buyers the entire real estate market will collapse and we will go bankrupt… 🤷‍♂️

Brilliant diplomacy! Iran has internalised the hard lessons of past negotiations. In a firm and unapologetic statement, Foreign Minister @araghchi declared that U.S. presidential envoy @SteveWitkoff has requested a meeting—but that Tehran will only consider talks under two

Israel shot its shot—years of planning, sleeper cells, decapitation strikes meant to collapse Iran’s government & draw US into a big war. Trump got on board until it was clearly going sideways. It ended in a ceasefire, not because it was limited in design—but because it failed.

Irrational behavior can never be predicted: Some here knew how vulnerable 🇮🇱 was... ... imagine how irritated I was to see 🇮🇱 hitting civilian apartments in Tehran... Giving the 🇮🇷 Aerospace-Force; 🟢-light ➡️ The outcome was clear: Devastation, resulting in a quick ceasefire

Vancouver’s Planning Dept sacrificed its integrity in a misleading report to try to bail out the CURV luxury condo development. To no avail. No matter. Millions in private profit have already been extracted from the property. https://t.co/PckVgmE7wH

Netanyahu pledged victory in Gaza almost two years ago. The end result: military quagmire, facing arrest warrant for war crimes, and 200,000 new Hamas recruits. In Iran, he dreamed that he could erase 40+ years of peaceful nuclear achievements. The end result: every one of the

Basically 🇮🇱 got its shot, using: + element of surprise + one free strike by Trump + covert assets in 🇮🇷 + long built-up stand-off missile arsenal ➡️ Why should 🇮🇱 try it again? For what different outcome? ➡️ How does it protect itself? Couldn't last time under best conditions..
